Question

【題目】

President Obama has said that he gives each of his two daughters just a dollar a week for their chores, such as setting the table, washing dishes and cleaning up their play area and bedrooms.

People have different opinions about paying little kids for doing chores or just giving money to them. Some families think that everyone in the family should do housework, and that kids shouldn't be paid for doing so. The supporters (支持者)however, believe that kids should get paid, and that the money they get will help kids learn important skills of how to use it.

But for those who choose to give the money, it can be a headache decision on how much they should give, especially in these difficult economic（經(jīng)濟(jì)的）times.

【解析】

孩子幫忙做家務(wù)，該不該給他們錢呢？如果給錢的話，該給多少呢？這篇短文中作者闡述了不同的人對(duì)此不同的看法。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第一段中President Obama has said that he gives each of his two daughters just a dollar a week for their chores, such as setting the table, washing dishes and cleaning up their play area and bedrooms可知，奧巴馬總統(tǒng)每周給他的兩個(gè)女兒一美元，是因?yàn)樗麄儙兔ψ黾覄?wù)。由此可知應(yīng)選B。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第二段People have different opinions about paying little kids for doing

chores or just giving money to them. Some families think that everyone in the family should do housework, and that kids shouldn't be paid for doing so. The supporters (支持者), however, believe that kids should get paid可知，關(guān)于孩子做家務(wù)該不該給錢，有兩種不同的看法，一種是認(rèn)為不應(yīng)該給錢；另一種認(rèn)為應(yīng)該給錢。故應(yīng)選B。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第二段中Some families think that everyone in the family should do housework, and that kids shouldn't be paid for doing so. 可知，有些家庭認(rèn)為不應(yīng)該給孩子錢，因?yàn)樗麄冇X得家里的每個(gè)人都應(yīng)該做家務(wù)，故應(yīng)選D。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第三段中But for those who choose to give the money, it can be a headache decision on how much they should give, especially in these difficult economic（經(jīng)濟(jì)的）times.可知，該給孩子多少錢，這是一個(gè)頭疼的決定，也就是決定這個(gè)事是困難的，故應(yīng)選C。

【5】推理判斷題。根據(jù)短文第二段中The supporters (支持者), however, believe that kids should get paid, and that the money they get will help kids learn important skills of how to use it.可知，有些人支持給孩子錢，因?yàn)樗麄冇X得這可以幫助孩子學(xué)會(huì)關(guān)于如何使用錢的重要的技能，由此可知C選項(xiàng)符合文意，選C。根據(jù)短文開頭President Obama has said that he gives each of his two daughters just a dollar a week for their chores可知，是每周一美元，不是每天，故A不對(duì)；根據(jù)短文第二段中People have different opinions about paying little kids for doing chores關(guān)于這個(gè)問題人們的觀點(diǎn)是不同的，故B不對(duì)；根據(jù)短文最后一句話Kids can start receiving money around ages 4 or 5可知，孩子到了4,5歲的時(shí)候，就可以開始接收錢，故D是錯(cuò)誤的。
