1. (2023高一下·唐山月考)  阅读理解

Children should do housework. That's a controversial(有争议的) idea, though not everyone will admit it. A few parents will say that their children are too busy for housework. Many more of us assign(分派) housework, or say we believe in them, but the housework just doesn't get done.

That's a problem. For starters, housework is good for kids. Being a part of the routine work of running a household helps children develop an awareness of the needs of others, while at the same time contributing to their emotional well-being.

One small study, done over a period of 25 years, found that the best predictor(预测) for young adults' success in their mid-20s was whether they participated in household tasks at age 3 or 4. Those early shared responsibilities extended to a sense of responsibility in other areas of their lives.

But for all that their help matters, few kids are doing much around the house at all. In a survey of 1,000 American adults, 75 percent said they believed regular housework made kids "more responsible". Yet while 82 percent reported having had regular housework growing up, only 56 percent of those with children said they required them to do housework.

Sports and homework are not get-out-of-housework-free cards. The goal, after all, is to raise adults who can balance a caring role in their families and communities with whatever lifetime achievement goals they choose. Housework teaches that balance. 

What should you do when getting children to do housework? Accept no excuses. Don't worry if you must repeat yourself again and again. If you're spending more time getting the child to do this job than it would take to do it yourself, then you're doing it right. Can a payment help? Maybe. But if you're trying to teach kids to share the responsibility of a home, paying them for routine housework is not the right message.
