For some families, teaching children what to do and how to do chores is easy. But in other families, getting children to do some housework can be a very big problem.It is a good idea for parents to teach their children at an early age. All family members mustwork together to make the house clean, and each person must do his or her share(份) of the work. We can do this by starting a plan of chores and responsibilities when children are young. Chores are good for children—even very young ones. Doing chores can teach children many important skills(技能) like working together. Chores also teach children what is fair. The skills and value(价值) from doing chores will be good to children all their life.( )11.

They move for different reasons: most of them move to find food more easily, but others move to get away from places that are too crowded. When cold weather comes, many birds move to warmer places to find food. Some fishes give birth in warm water and move to cold water to feed. The most famous migration(迁移)is probably the migration of the fish, which is called "salmon". This fish is born in fresh water but it travels many miles to salt water. There it spends its life. When it is old, it returns to its birth place in fresh water. Then it gives birth and dies. In northern Europe, there is a kind of mouse. They leave their mountain homes when they become too crowded. They move down to the low land. Sometimes they move all the way to the seaside, and many of them are killed when theyfall into the sea.Recently, scientists have studied the migration of a kind of lobster (龙虾). Every year, when the season of the bad weather arrives, the lobsters get into a long line and start to walk across the floor of the ocean. Nobody knows why they do this, and nobody knows where they go.So, sometimes we know why humans and animals move from one place to another, but at other times we don’t. Maybe living things just like to travel.( )16.
