25、Most children don’t enjoy doing housework. They like playing computer games rather than cleaning the rooms. But in Australia, Jim and Robert’s mother, Mrs. Black, has good and proper methods to get their children to do housework.

Here is an example.

“Mum, 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 mum cook, wash vegetables, made beds feed the fish, cut the wood, 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 bathrooms, 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.

A Day in Your Future Life

People used to know more or less how their children would live. Now things are always changing and we don’t even know what our own lives will be like in a few years. Let’s see what scientists tell us about the future.

1．You go to the kitchen when you get home. The foods are prepared and sent to you. You ordered them by computer an hour ago. You said for them through bank cards before they arrived. Nobody uses cash（現(xiàn)金） any more.

2．What’s for lunch? In the old days, you used to go to a fast food restaurant to get a hamburger and some coke. Now you use your special machine to find out which foods your body needs. Your food-machine makes you what you need.

3．After lunch, you go down the hall to your home office. Here you have everything you need to do your work, You never have to go out to work anymore.

19、All children in the United States have to receive an education, but it doesn’t mean they must get an education in a school. Now lost of parents wouldn’t like to send their children to school. Children who are taught at home are called “homeschoolers”, It is said that there are about 1.5 to 1.9 million homeschoolers in the United States, about 4% of school-age children.

Some parents would like to teach their children at home because they do not believe that schools can teach the correct values（價(jià)值觀）. Others believe they can provide a better education for their children at home.

Now there are many websites about home education. Many parents teach their children at home and use the Internet to exchange（交流） ideas. It is interesting that homeschoolers often do better in reading and math than those at school.

It seems that getting home education is often more interesting than going to a traditional school. But in fact, most parents don’t have time or wouldn’t like to teach their children at home. So most children still get their education at school.

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，判斷下列各句正（T）、誤（F）。

1．About 1.5 to 1.9 million American children learn at home

2．Some parents would like to teach their own children at home because they don’t believe schools can teach the correct values.

3．Many parents teach their children at home and use the Internet to exchange ideas.

4．Homeshoolers can learn English and math better than those at school.

5．In fact , most parents still receive their education at school.
