excited about it for the first two days that she couldn't listen to the teachers carefully． But
soon she and her classmates got used to this new classroom arrangement（安排）． "Now
our class is quieter, "said Emma． "What's more, we can come up with our own ideas and
learn more through discussion． It's a better way to study． "
David liked it, too． "Group members first discuss, "he said, "and then show to the whole
class． It encourages us greatly． "This was part of a reform （改革）at David's
school． The school made this reform because they wanted to offer students easier ways to
study and more chances to discuss． "Our school hopes to improve students' abilities to
study by themselves and work in groups． "said Linda, an English teacher．
However, the reform has demanded（要求）more from teachers． Now they have only 15
minutes to give a lesson that would have been taught in 40 minutes before． It is difficult to
teach in such a short time． The teachers have to find better ways to teach more effectively
（有效地）．

18. Many kids help their parents with chores, such as doing the dishes, cleaning the living
room and taking out the rubbish． And somd kids get money or other rewards（奖赏）
such as more computer time by doing chores．
But some people do not think that kids should get rewards by doing chores． Susie
Walton．an expert, believes that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that
work isn't important unless you can get something． "Running any kind of family is a team
work, " Walton says． "A home is a living place for everyone in the family． It's important for
kids to see that we all have responsibilities in the house．"
Other people believe that getting money or other rewards makes kids do chores happily
and it also teaches them real world lessons about what we need to do to make
money． There are also now apps（应用软件）． With the Chore﹣Monster app, kids can
get points and online gifts by doing chores． Kids can change them into real life rewards
either online or in the real world． "We hope kids can do more chores so they can get more
rewards, " one man says．
What do you think? Should kids get rewards for doing chores? Or should kids help do
chores without getting anything?
