 Tammy’s body was shaking! Today was her first trip to the dentist. She didn’t know what to expect. What would happen? Would it hurt? Would she shout?

 Mom said it wasn’t scary at all, but Tammy didn’t know. How bad would it be? The dentist would clean her teeth. Then he would take pictures of her teeth to see if they were rotten (腐烂的).

That didn’t sound too bad. She cleaned her teeth at home already. She liked to smile. She wanted clean teeth and didn’t want rotten teeth. Pictures and cleaning sounded OK with her.

 At the office, many people were waiting. There was a fish tank (鱼缸) to look at and magazines to read. She chose a magazine and found it interesting. She didn’t have to wait long, though. Soon it was her turn.

 The dentist was a kind, old man. He smiled and Tammy sat in a special chair. There were lots of lights and tools (工具). It didn’t make her comfortable when she opened her mouth. He looked really closely. He cleaned her teeth carefully and then took pictures of her teeth. Then she was done.

 That was it? That wasn’t that scary. The dentist told her that she needed to come back again in six months.

 “Sure. I will. I can come by myself!” Tammy smiled.

 Many kids do housework such as doing the dishes, making the bed, and folding the clothes. In exchange, they get some money or other computer time.

 Paying kids for housework is one of the most popular topics, especially at a time when everyone is more careful about money. Some parents think since adults are paid to do their jobs, we should pay kids for everyday housework.

 But some people don't think kids should get rewards(报酬) for doing housework. Susie Walton, an expert, believes that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isn’t worth doing unless you get something in return. “Running any kind of housework is a team effort,” Walton said. “A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It’s important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities in the house, and families decide how they want their home to look, and how they are going to keep it looking like what they want.”

 Other people believe that getting a reward encourages(鼓励) kids to do housework, and it also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to get money. There are also apps(程序)that give kids points and digital(数字的) gifts that can be redeemed(兑现) either online or in the real world. “Our goal is to give kids lawful power so they can get rewards,” says Chris Bergman. “And kids need rewards to help encourage themselves.”

31.Which of the following housework is NOT mentioned in Paragraph 1?

 A. Washing the dishes.    　 B. Cooking meals.       C. Folding the clothes.　

32.The underlined phrase “in return” in Paragraph 3 has the same meaning as “______”．

 A. as a reward    　        B. on sale    　        C. under control

33.What’s Walton’s idea in the passage?

 A. Running exercise is a kind of team work.

 B. People work to get some rewards.

 C. Kids have responsibilities in the house.

34.According to Chris Bergman，kids should be encouraged to ______．

 A.do more housework

 B. stay away from housework

 C. do housework by getting rewards

35.Which is the best title for the passage?

 A. Kids Should Study as Well as Doing Housework

 B. Let Children Do Some Housework

 C. Should Kids Be Rewarded for Doing Housework
