Question

4．

Letter A Young people are always told that they should make the most of their time，that they will never be as free again So，my question is-why fill up all this free time with housework？Parents expect their children to get good grades，be good at sports，and be popular with other kids．However，there is not enough time in the day to do these things and then do housework as well．It's not fair to expect teenagers to give up their precious time to do boring housework．Parents and children both have jobs．Parents'jobs are in the workplace．Their children's jobs are at school． The only difference is that parents get paid and children don't．Parents say that they make their kids do housework to teach them responsibility．But this is just a trick．Parents trick their kids into doing housework because they are lazy． Yours， Overloaded

Letter B Both parents and children have jobs．The parent's job is to go to work to earn money．The child's job is to go to school．But we all get huggry．Someone has to cook the meals and clean up afterward．We all wear clothes that get dirty．Someone has to wash them，iron them，and put them away．Chlidren work from 9 until 4．Parents work from 8 until 6．Sure，after 4 o'clock，children have homework．But after 6，parents have homework too．They have to do the shopping，go to the bank，pay the bills，and help their kids with their own homework! I think it's only fair that teenagers help out a bit at home．They might not like it，but it's good for them．It teaches them how to look after themselves．This is really useful when （93）     ． Sincerely， Overworked

Answer 1

分析 這是兩封關(guān)于孩子在家做不做家務(wù)活的信．一封是自認(rèn)為負(fù)荷過重的孩子寫的，一封是任務(wù)過度勞累的家長寫的．孩子認(rèn)為自己不該做家務(wù)的原因是--孩子的任務(wù)是去學(xué)校上學(xué)，而且大人干活有薪資，孩子在學(xué)校上學(xué)"這樣的工作"沒有薪資；大人認(rèn)為孩子該做家務(wù)的原因是--大人和孩子都有各自的工作，大人去上班，孩子去學(xué)校．但每個人都有必須完成的事情．做家務(wù)就像吃喝拉撒一樣必須完成，做家務(wù)能夠幫助孩子學(xué)會自立．

解答 88．Why fill up all this free time with housework？細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)信A的內(nèi)容，搜索寫信人的疑問，可以找到一個問句So，my question is-why fill up all this free time with housework？，因此答案為Why fill up all this free time with housework？．
89．Parents get paid （and/but children don't）．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)信A中的句子可以推知答案，The only difference is that parents get paid and children don't．因此答案為Parents get paid （and/but children don't）．
90．（Because the writer thinks）it teaches children how to look after themselves．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)后面的內(nèi)容It teaches them how to look after themselves．可以推知原因，也即是本題答案．
91．A parent．推理判斷題．根據(jù)信B的內(nèi)容可知信B的寫作者的觀點(diǎn)和信A的觀點(diǎn)是對立的，可以推測信B是一個家長寫的，因此答案為A parent．
92．Yes，they do．問句是個反意疑問句，don't they？回答需要根據(jù)事實(shí)來回答．信A中孩子認(rèn)為Parents and children both have jobs．Parents'jobs are in the workplace．Their children's jobs are at school．，因此孩子認(rèn)為大人和小孩都有工作，信B中第一句Both parents and children have jobs．The parent's job is to go to work to earn money．The child's job is to go to school．可知家長認(rèn)為大人和孩子都有工作，因此，回答是：Yes，they do．
93．they leave home to go to college or to live on their own．前面提到It teaches them how to look after themselves．（這教會他們照顧自己），根據(jù)when可知，需要填寫一個表示時間的句子，什么時候孩子會需要照顧自己？可以是大學(xué)，也可以是中學(xué)住宿時期，還可以是作為交換生時期，都可以填寫．答案不唯一．

點(diǎn)評 作答前，需通讀全文，掌握全文大意，再根據(jù)問題，在文中搜索或推理出答案．93題為開放性答案，答案不唯一．
