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(深感歉疚的)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.

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.

B. He has continued to sit in the back of the classroom.

C. He is willing to answer questions in class now.

D. He focuses more on study rather than basketball

12. What does the author want to tell us in the passage?

A. Team spirit can teach us a lot. B. Practice makes perfect.

C. Go for it, and we will make it. D. Desire to compete does matter.

Fiji has become the first country in the Pacific to recognize“waste pickers”,who collect, repurpose and sell

rubbish, as environmental champions.

Who are “waste pickers”? These workers are usually women, children and migrants(移民)living in bad

conditions. The job comes with many health risks, as workers are exposed to pollutants and poisonous

materials,and those who work at open dumps(垃圾场)face risks caused by trucks, fires and surface falls.

They remove millions of tons of CO each year from landfills, yet they are often looked down on and treated

poorly. Talking to ABC News, Tikitoro from Fiji said that her children are made fun of at school. “The students

laugh and point at them” she shared.

How is Fiji responding? On July 20, 2022, in Lautoka, Fiji recognized the environmental benefits that these
