When she could just walk and start to play with toys, she sometimes 2 them away because of being bored. I started to teach her to 3 her toys. Now she understands it is one of her chores. Another thing I asked her to do was to bring her dishes to the 4. Now every time she finishes her meal, she 5 and runs to the kitchen with her bowl or 6! It’s lovely!
Actually, I don’t make a “chore list” for her. However, little by little I 7 chores into her everyday life. Doing chores teaches a child to be responsible for what they do. This also helps to develop a child’s 8. In my opinion, the earlier a kid learns to be independent, the 9 it is for his or her future.

Many kids help parents to do chores in the house. They may do the dishes, sweep the floor or take out the rubbish. In return, some kids get money or other rewards from their parents, such as 20 minutes to play computer games.
But some people think that kids shouldn't get rewards for doing chores. One of them is Susie Walton, a parenting educator(育儿教育者) and family coach. She believes if kids get rewards, they will think that work isn't worth doing unless they get something in return. For example, kids won't sweep the floor if they see it is dirty. But they will clean the floor if their parents reward them for it.
"Every house is a team effort," Walton said. "A home is the living space for everyone in the family. It's important for kids to see that they all have a responsibility to keep their homes clean."
Other people hold different opinions. They believe that money or other rewards can encourage kids to do more chores. It also teaches them real-world lessons. They can learn about how they need to work to make money.
Now, there are also apps that encourage kids to do chores. The apps give kids points and digital(数字的) gifts that can be used either online or in life.
With the app Chore Monster, kids can get digital points after doing chores. Kids can exchange their points for real rewards, such as time to play video games or a trip to the mall.
"Our goal is to encourage kids to do chores, so they can get rewards," says Chris Bergman, founder of Chore Monster. "Kids need positive power to make them do chores."
1. Why do some children get rewards from their parents?
A. Because they get high marks in the exam.
B. Because they help their parents do chores.
C. Because they never play computer games.
D. Because they have good habits in their daily life.
2. Which of the following does Susie Walton probably agree with?
A. Kids should be rewarded for doing chores.
B. Parents decide what kids can do for the family.
C. Kids should help their parents do chores without paying.
D. Kids can get extra computer time for doing chores.
3. What does the underlined word "responsibility" in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Duty.
B. Chance.
C. Hobby.
D. Choice.
4. What can kids get by using apps?
A. Get time to play video games.
B. Get real rewards.
C. Get a trip to the mall.
D. Get digital points.
5. What is the best title for the passage?
