（23-24八年级下·山东临沂·期末）I grew up in the countryside. I didn’t understand what it brought to
me until I became an adult. It helped me learn more practical skills (实践技能) than those who grew up in cities.
The first skill I learned was cooking. Since my parents often came home late and a prepared meal would
help them have supper soon. I learned to make dough (面团) at around 10 years old. It sounds easy but very
difficult to do. However, it didn’t take too long for me to find the right way. A year after that, I learned to cook
different things like noodles and dumplings. I fell in love with cooking because it’s really relaxing. More
importantly, thanks to my cooking skill, I live better during the pandemic (疫情) because I cook every meal
instead of ordering online. It saves money and I don’t have to wait for drivers to feed me.Besides cooking, I did a lot of farm work in my childhood. I got to know how to plant vegetables. Though
it was hard work, the experience did teach me things. For example, I learned that the fruits of peanut (花生) and
ginger (生姜) plants grow under the earth. Also, the truth of happiness sometimes comes from learning firsthand
(直接地). You’ll treasure everything on your plate.
The practical skills I learned not only improve my self-care ability but also provide me with a new way to
look at the world. So when I heard in China students in primary and middle school will have at least one class
every week to learn some skills like cooking and cleaning, I was much too happy. Trust me. The labor (劳动)
education will help you for the rest of your life.
1．According to the passage, the writer didn’t learn ________.
A．cooking skills B．cleaning skills C．planting skills

A．It took the writer a long time to learn to make dough.
B．Since the writer was 10, he has been in love with cooking.
C．During the pandemic, the writer cooks by himself every day.
3．What is the structure (结构) of the passage?
A． B． C．
4．What does the writer think of labor education?
A．He thinks that students will be happy with the coming labor education.
B．He believes that students need labor education and it’s good for their future.
C．He isn’t very sure of the future use of labor education for pupils.
（23-24八年级下·山东临沂·期末）In China, whether the parents should ask their kids to do housework
is always a hot topic. Sometimes parents think about whether they should really give their kids some housework.
In some parents’ eyes, kids should just be kids. After all, it will be a long time for kids to do housework after they
grow up. So they don’t want their kids to do any housework.
For most kids, it seems that their duty is to study hard, so they are busy with their schoolwork all the time.
They have little time to do the cleaning or fold the clothes. However, in my opinion, teaching your kids to do
some easy housework is important. Kids who do housework can learn some life skills. They will be useful in the
future life. And they can also teach children to be independent in their life.Once kids start going to school, you can ask them to do some simple things at home. For example, teach
your kids to put away their shoes and schoolbags. Then, you can gradually give more jobs to them. As the jobs
become more difficult, you can teach your kids slowly how to finish each of them. For example, when kids do the
dishes, tell them as clearly as possible how much washing-up liquid (洗涤剂) they need to use. It is common that
kids can’t do everything very well at their first try. But don’t worry. Just give them more chances, and they will do
the jobs better and better.
1．In the writer’s eyes, it’s ________ for kids to do housework. Please give your kids some suitable (合适的)
housework. This is good for their future.
A．boring B．enjoyable C．necessary
2．What does the underlined word “They” refer to (指的是)?
A．Parents. B．Life skills. C．Easy housework.
3．What does the underlined word “gradually” mean in Paragraph 3?
A．step by step B．clearly C．especially
4．What’s the main idea of the third paragraph?
A．Kids must do housework that they’re able to do.
B．Parents should teach kids how to do housework quickly.
C．Parents should make kids do housework from simple things.
5．What does the passage mainly talk about?
A．Parents should let kids do some housework.
B．Children should finish their homework first.
C．Parents should do housework with their kids.

重难语篇拔高练
（22-23八年级下·江苏南京·期末）There is always a discussion about whether you should get your kids
to do chores at home or not. However, getting kids to do housework is really good for children in many ways. So I
find it hard to understand why you wouldn’t get them to do chores.
The most important reason is that getting children to do chores teaches them a lot of life skills. They need
to know how to clean, how to cook, how to shop, etc. It is, however, one of the things that schools don’t teach
completely, so it is one of the main parts of learning that parents should provide for children before they leave
home.
Children like to feel proud about their achievements. Making them help around the house can really help to
give them a sense of pride. Also, giving them praise for helping will make them want to do more. They will feel
happy to be able to help around the house.
Giving your children a job to do or an area in the house to look after will help them learn how to be
responsible in their future life. They will see the benefit (益处) of keeping things organized, clean and tidy—and
also be more thankful for what you do for them as they grow up.
Planning is a life skill that can be got from helping around the house. As children get older, you can start to
teach them how to understand the needs of themselves and others and plan by themselves. For example, if they
help with the washing, let them make sure that they do it in time. They may start to plan ahead.
All these reasons for getting kids to help around the house mean that they’ll grow up with a great set of
skills that can be good for them throughout their lives. Why not get started today?
1．Who does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．Parents. B．Workers. C．Teachers. D．Children.
2．What can give children a sense of pride?
A．Helping around the house. B．Learning all by themselves at school.
C．Learning some life skills. D．Understanding the needs of themselves.3．How can children learn to be responsible?
A．By planning ahead. B．By finishing homework in time.
C．By being given a job to do. D．By being thankful for what they get.
4．What does the writer think about letting kids do chores?
A．He is against it. B．He is surprised at it.
C．He agrees with it. D．He doesn’t care about it.
5．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?
A． B． C． D．
