B Kaitlin Riffel started dreaming to end poverty (贫困) when she was visiting her father, who worked for the homeless. “I never realized there were people in the world who didn't have a home or food before, ” said Kaitlin. “I knew there was something I had to do about that. ” At the age of eight, she started raising money to build a playground. “It took me two years, ” Kaitlin said. “We started small. We wanted to do something to make a difference. ” In 2014, when Kaitlin was thirteen, she visited Central America, and saw people going hungry and families living in houses made of cardboard. That year, she set up Kids on a Mission, which has helped hundreds of people there. “The rooms were smaller than my bedroom, but there would be eight people living in each one, ” Kaitlin said. “We also got to see the dirty rivers that those people were drinking out of. ” Providing clean drinking water, food and clothes for people living in poverty is now an important task for Kids on a Mission. “This young lady is changing the hearts of people, and also changing the world, ” said the headmaster of Kaitlin's school. 46. The job of Kaitlin's father was to ________. A. sell food B. build playgrounds C. visit schools D. help homeless people 47. When did Kaitlin set up Kids on a Mission? A. In 2009. B. In 2011. C.

School life in America B. The gift from a headmaster C. The father's duty in the family D. A girl dreams to end poverty C Many kids help parents to do chores in the house. They may take out the trash, walk the dog or sweep the floor. In return, some kids get money or other rewards (报酬) from their parents, such as 20 minutes to play computer games. But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing chores. One of them is Jane Smith, a parenting educator and family coach. She believes if kids get rewards, they may think that work isn't worth doing unless you get something in return. For example, kids won't sweep the floor if they see it is dirty. But they will do it if their parents reward them for it. “Every house is a team effort, ” Jane said. “A home is a living place for everyone in the family. It's important for kids to see that we all have a responsibility (责任) to keep our home clean. ” Other people hold different opinions. They believe that money or other rewards encourage kids to do more chores. It also teaches them real world lessons. They can learn about how we need to work to make money. Now, there are also apps that encourage kids to do chores. The apps give kids points and digital (电子的) gifts that can be used either online or in life. With the app ChoreMonster, kids earn 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 so they can earn rewards, ” says Joe Black, the founder of ChoreMonster. “Kids need positive (积极的) power to make them do chores. ” 51. Jane Smith thinks that ________. A. housework isn't worth doing B. kids are not willing to do chores C. kids should get something in return D. kids shouldn't get rewards for doing chores 52. ChoreMonster is a(n) ________. A. educator B. coach C. app D. app founder 53. If rewarded for doing chores, kids can learn to ________. A. take responsibilities B. use apps well C. make money through work D. understand team effort 54. What's the purpose(目的)of the app mentioned in the passage? A. To give kids points and gifts. B. To encourage kids to do chores. C. To exchange points for real rewards. D. To give kids advice on doing chores. 55. The passage mainly talks about ________ . A. how to encourage kids to do chores B. what kind of chores kids should do C. if kids should do chores at home D. whether kids should be rewarded for doing chores 八、词汇运用(每小题1分 共10分) A) 根据句意及首字母提示, 写出单词, 完成句子 56. —I didn't see Jim for long. —He fell down last month and h his legs. 57.
