Most children don't enjoy doing housework. They like playing computer games rather than(而不是) cleaning the rooms. But in Australia, Jim and Robert's mother, Mrs. Black, has good ideas to get their children to do housework.

Here is an example.

“Mom, have you worked out next week's housework? Let Jim and me choose the cards. I can't wait. It's fun!”

When Robert shouted out, his mother had already put all the cards on their big table. On the cards, there are some words like these, “sweep the floor, clean your bedroom, help mom cook, wash vegetables, make beds, feed the fish, clean the bathroom” and many others. Jim and Robert chose two cards for each day from Monday to Friday. Then they would hang them on the weekday task board. Jim likes to clean the bathroom, so he picked up the card “clean the bathroom”. Robert loves to make the bed, so he picked up his favorite card. Jim again picked up “wash vegetables” and Robert chose “feed the fish”. Soon the two boys were happy to take away all the cards.

To help the children do housework, their mother thought hard and came up with this idea. Of course, the parents did the housework on the weekends and left Jim and Robert two days free.

1.What do most children like better, cleaning the rooms or playing computer games?

_________________________________________________________

2.How many cards did Jim and Robert choose for the weekdays from Monday to Friday?

Mr. Clarke was born in a poor family. He was in school for only two years. When he was sixteen he left the poor mountain village and walked to the capital. He had worked in a garden, in a workplace. When he reached the biggest city in the country, nobody gave him any work. He had to beg（乞討）in the street.

One day he was looking for some food when a bag fell off a motorbike. But the rider didn’t find it and left quickly. He picked it up and found there was plenty of money in it. There was nobody except him there. He sat by the road and waited for the loser. About half an hour later an old man came back by motorbike and looked for something.

Community Volunteers

Hi Jenny,

I am enjoying my new school. It has lots of clubs and activities. One of my favourite clubs is the Community Volunteers. The club gives us a chance to help people.

This term we are helping out at a charity（慈善機構）for disabled（殘疾的） children. I am helping to organize（組織）games , reading stories to the children and helping with the music group. Mrs. Brown organizes our club. She says that I am really good with the children. I think that is because I have two little sisters.

Next term we are going to visit some older people. Some of the older people are blind（失明的） and they want us to help them to read letters and books.

A lot of clubs and activities are about having fun but in the Community Volunteers we help other people and have fun.

Everyone in the club is very friendly and it’s a great way to make new friends at school. See you soon.
