  Children need to help with housework at home. However, some children don't enjoy doing it. Hazel,Jono and Charlie disliked doing housework. The children's mum had a good idea: She cut hard, colourful paper with scissors and glued the paper together. She wrote different housework and children's names on the paper.A housework wheel was born. Every week, the children rotated (转动) the wheel and did the jobs next to their names.

  Now, after several weeks, the family is seeing some good results. The kids enjoy rotating the housework wheel and doing housework. And their parents often listen to their ideas to help improve their work. For example, when Hazel was doing the dishes, she noticed the washing gloves were too big for her and that the water kept getting inside the gloves. She told her parents that she wanted to buy a smaller pair of gloves. And they agreed to add that to the shopping list. The next time, her family went shopping and she chose a pair of blue washing gloves. Now, she looks forward to doing the dishes because she can use her new gloves. And she is careful with them.

  The children now are familiar with different housework. They even sort their housework tools neatly on the balcony now—everything is in order and fun.After cleaning up the kitchen or tidying the living room,they feel happy and proud of themselves. Sometimes they even invite their mum to join their housework games. They often share funny housework stories with each other during dinner. All the family members feel closer to each other. The family say they'll keep using the housework wheel.

解析：

这篇文章主要介绍了一种让孩子做家务的创意方法——“家务轮盘（housework wheel）”。起初，Hazel、Jono 和 Charlie 不喜欢做家务，但妈妈想出了一个好主意：把不同的家务和孩子的名字写在彩纸上，做成一个轮盘。每周转动轮盘，孩子们轮流做家务。在父母的帮助下，孩子们逐渐喜欢上了做家务，并且从中学会了不同家务，感到快乐和自豪。最重要的是，家务让家庭成员关系更亲密，所以他们会继续使用这个家务轮盘。

1.a housework wheel was made/created

（或the mum made a housework wheel/a housework wheel was born）

原文：第一段提到孩子们不喜欢做家务，妈妈想出了一个好主意（a good idea）。她剪彩纸、写名字，一个“家务轮盘（A housework wheel）”诞生了。第二段说每周孩子们转动轮盘（rotated the wheel）并做名字旁边的家务。这里需要填入妈妈想出的办法，即“妈妈做了一个家务轮盘”或“他们使用了一个家务轮盘”。

2.worked well/was successful/brought good results

（或the family saw some good results）

原文：第三段第一句：“Now, after several weeks, the family is seeing some good results. The kids enjoy rotating the housework wheel and doing housework.” 以及后文提到父母听取他们的想法来改进工作（help improve their work）。这里需要说明在父母帮助下，这种方法变得怎样了。原文说“seeing some good results（看到一些好结果）”，孩子们喜欢转动轮盘和做家务。所以这种方式是“有效的/奏效的/产生了好的结果”。

3.happiness and pride/a sense of pride and happiness

（或feel happy and proud）

原文：第四段：“After cleaning up the kitchen or tidying the living room, they feel happy and proud of themselves.”（打扫厨房或整理客厅后，他们感到开心和自豪。）这里需要填入孩子们从家务中得到了什么。根据原文，他们感到“happy and proud（开心和自豪）”，也就是获得了快乐和成就感。

4.brings the family closer/makes the family members feel closer to each other（或helps the family feel closer）

原文：第四段倒数第二句：“All the family members feel closer to each other.”（所有家庭成员感觉彼此更亲近了。）最后一句：“The family say they'll keep using the housework wheel.”（家人说他们会继续使用家务轮盘。）这里需要填入家务最重要的意义是什么，导致他们继续使用轮盘。原文指出最重要的是“家庭成员关系更亲密（feel closer to each other）”。
