In exchange, some kids get allowances(补贴) or other rewards such as extra computer time.But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing chores. Susie Walton,
10、a parenting educator and family coach, believes that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isnt worth doing unless you get something in return. Running any kind of household is a team effort, Susie said. A home is a living space for everyone in the family. Its important for kids
11、 to see that we all have responsibilities in the house, and that families decide together how they want their home to look, and how they are going to keep it looking like everyone wants it to look.Other people believe that getting a cash allowance or other rewards motivates kids to do chores, and it

18、in cities, parks are an important landscape. They provide a place for people to relax and play sports, as well as a shelter from the often severe environment of a city. What people often overlook is that parks also provide considerable environmental benefits.One benefit of parks is that plants absor
19、b carbon dioxide and give off oxygen. According to one study, an acre of trees can absorb the same amount of carbon dioxide that a typical car emits in 11,000 miles of driving. Parks also make cities cooler. Scientists have long noted what is called the Urban Heat Island Effect: building materials s
20、uch as metal and concrete (混凝土) absorb much more of the suns heat and release it much more quickly than trees and grass. Because city landscapes contain so much of these building materials, cities are usually warmer than surrounding rural areas. Parks and other green spaces help to lessen the Urban
21、Heat Island Effect.Unfortunately, many cities cannot easily create more parks. However, cities could benefit from many of the positive effects of parks by encouraging citizens to create another type of green space: rooftop gardens. While most people would not think of starting a garden on their roof
22、, human beings have been planting gardens on rooftops for thousands of years. Some rooftop gardens are simple container gardens that anyone can create with the investment (投资) of a few hundred dollars and a few hours of work.Rooftop gardens provide many of the same benefits as other urban parks and
23、garden spaces, but without taking up the much-needed land. In the summer, rooftop gardens prevent buildings from absorbing heat from the sun, which can significantly reduce cooling bills. In the winter, gardens help control the heat that materials like brick and concrete release so quickly, leading
24、to savings on heating bills. Rooftop vegetables and herb gardens can also provide fresh food for city settlers, making their diets healthier. Rooftop gardens are not only something everyone can enjoy but also a smart environmental investment.28. The underlined word “emits” in the second paragraph pr

27、.DWhere should an adventurous tourist go?

About 37,000
29、tourists are expected there this season, but many wont even leave the boat.The BBCs Juliet Rix visited the frozen continent and asked herself if she should be there at all, causing potential problems to such a sensitive environment. Her tour guide admitted that all visitors leave a footprint and the
30、y all go to the same places, the accessible coastline, which is also where the penguins and seals go to breed.But some people believe that if carefully controlled, tourism can be good for Antarctica. It has no native population and it needs advocates. Visitors to the icy continent might be ready to
31、support and even to fund its preservation. And theyre likely to engage in the discussion about global warming, which has led to the melting of glaciers.According to Rix, guidelines are followed when youre about to set foot in Antarctic and tourists have to disinfect(消毒)their boots to make sure no al
32、ien species are introduced.And once on land, theres no eating or smoking. Rocks, bone fragmentsnothing should be taken as a souvenir and nothing should be left behind.Tourists fortunate enough to visit the Antarctic must be aware that this is not their home and keep their fingers crossed that future
