一、阅读理解(共16 小题；每小题 3分，满分 48 分）

My teacher held up a piece of broken glass and asked, “Who broke this window?” Thirty boys

tried to think about not only what they had done, but also what our teacher might have found out.

She seldom became angry, but she was this time.

“Oh,” I thought. I was the one who broke the window. It was caused by a naughty throw of a

baseball. If I admitted guilt, I would be in a lot of trouble. How would I be able to pay for a big

window like that? I didn’t even get an allowance(零花钱). “My father is going to have a temper,” I

thought. I didn’t want to raise my hand, but some force much stronger than I pulled it skyward. I

told the truth, “I did it.” It was hard enough to say what I had done.

My teacher took down a book from one of our library shelves and I had never known my

teacher, who would strike a student with it, but I feared she was going to start with me.

“I know how you like birds,” she said as she stood looking down at my guilt-ridden(深感歉疚

)face. “Here is that field guide about birds that you are constantly checking out. It is yours

now. It’s time that we got a new one for the school any way. You will not be punished as long as

you remember that I am not rewarding you for your misdeed; I am rewarding you for your

truthfulness.”

I couldn’t believe it! I wasn’t being punished and I was getting my own bird field guide—the

very one that I had been saving up money to buy.

All that remains of that day is my memory and the lesson my teacher taught me. That lesson

stays with me every day, and it will echo(回响)forever.

Many kids help out around the house with chores (家庭杂务) such as emptying a dishwasher,

putting dry clothes away, and taking out trash. In exchange, some kids get allowances or other

rewards such as extra computer time.

But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing chores. Susie Walton, a

parenting educator and family coach, believes that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message

that work isn’t worth doing unless they get something in return. “Running any kind of household is

a team effort,” Susie said. “A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It’s important for

kids to see that they all have responsibilities in the house, and that a family decides together how

they want their home to look, and how they are going to keep it looking like everyone wants it to

look.”

Other people believe that getting a cash allowance or other rewards encourages kids to do

chores, and it also teaches them real-world lessons about how we need to work to earn money.

There are also new applications that give kids points and digital gifts that can be redeemed (兑取)

either online or in the real world. With the ChoreMonster app, kids earn digital points by completing

chores that they can turn in (提交) for real-life rewards such as extra Xbox time or a trip to the mall.

“Our goal is to encourage kids to earn rewards,” says Chris Bergman, founder of ChoreMonster,

“Kids need positive reinforcement (强化) to help encourage them to do so.”

What do you think? Should kids be rewarded for doing chores? Or should kids help out around

their homes without getting anything in return? Write a 200-word response. Send it to

tfkasks4you@time forkids.com. Your response may be published in a future issue of Time For Kids.

Please include your grade and contact information of your parent or teacher if you

want your response to be published. The deadline for responding is February 18.

5、What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 2 refer to?

A. The educators. B. The kids. C. The parents. D. The family.

6、What is Chris Bergman’s point of view?

A. Kids should be rewarded for doing chores,

B. Parents decide what kids can do for the family.

C. Parents should do all the housework for their family.

D. Kids should help do housework without getting anything in return.

7、How can kids get digital points through the ChoreMonster app?

A. By playing on their Xbox. B. By finishing some chores.

C. By making a trip to the mall. D. By applying for real-life rewards.

8、What information should be included in a kid’s 200-word article?

A. His or her parents’ professions. B. His or her character.

C. His or her hobbies. D. His or her grade.

I used to hate being called upon in class mainly because I didn’t like attention drawn to myself.

And unless assigned (指定) a seat by the teacher, I always chose to sit at the back of the classroom.

All this changed after I joined a sports team. It began when a teacher suggested I try out for the

basketball team. At first I thought it was a crazy idea because I didn’t have a good sense of balance,

nor did I have the ability to keep pace with the others on the team and they would laugh at me. But

for the teacher who kept insisting on my “going for it”, I wouldn’t have decided to give a try.

Getting up the courage to go to the tryouts (选拔赛) was only the half of it! Luckily, I passed

them. When I first started attending the practice sessions, I didn’t even know the rules of the game,

much less what I was doing. Sometimes I’d get confused and take a shot at the wrong direction—

which made me feel really stupid. Thank God, I wasn’t the only one “new” at the game, so I decided

to focus on learning the game, do my best at each practice session, and not be too hard on myself for

the things I didn’t know “just yet”.

I practiced and practiced. Soon I knew the rules and the “moves”. Being part of a team was fun

and encouraging. Very soon the competitive part in me was winning over my lack of confidence.

With time, I learned how to play and made friends in the progress—friends who respected my

efforts to work hard and be a team player. I never had so much fun!

With my improved self-confidence comes more praise from teachers and classmates. I have

gone from “hiding” in the back of the classroom and not wanting to call attention to myself, to

raising my hand—even when I sometimes wasn’t and not 100 percent sure I had the right answer.

Now, I have more self-confidence in myself. Every time I come across a challenge, my teacher’s

“going for it” rings in my ears.

9、What made the author decide to join a basketball team?

A. His teacher’s encouragement. B. His determination to change.

C. His desire to show himself off. D. His love for team cooperation.

10、Before attending the practice sessions, players must ______.

A. pass the tryouts B. know what they will do

C. have enough courage D. learn the rules in advance

11、From the last paragraph, what has happened to the boy?

A. He has got more praise and become overconfident.
