Passage 3
Housework For Children
41
is difficult for parents of nearly every family to teach their children to be responsible for housework,
42
with one of the following suggestions, you really can get your children to help at home.
If you give your children the impression that they can not do anything quite right, then they 43
(regard) themselves as unfit or unable persons.
44
the children believe that they can succeed, they will never become totally independent.
My daughter Carla’s fifth-grade teacher made every child in her class special. When students received
45
(little) than a perfect test score, she would point out
46
they had mastered and declare firmly they could learn what they had missed.
You can use the same technique when you evaluate
47
child’s work at home. Don’t always scold but give lots of praise instead. Talk about what he has done right, not about what he hasn’t. If a difficult task
48
(do) right by your child, promise him
49
Sunday trip or a ball game with Dad.
Learning is a process of trying and failing and trying and succeeding. If you teach your children
50
to fear a mistake of failure, they will learn faster and achieve success at last.

JerryIn 69________case, you have to paraphrase. In other words, you have to explain what you want to say.
FayThat’s very 70_______(help), Jerry. Thanks very much. Ah, one more thing. Should I ask about the salary during the interview?

the cost of living goes up. It has become a new trend for many young people in China. With a small marriage certificate in hand, they get
62
（marry）. And for the couples in a naked marriage, this certificate also __63
（contain） other meanings.
A resident from Chengdu said, “There are many people like us born ill
64
80’s. Our families cannot afford
65
（buy）us new apartments, cars, let alone diamond rings. I think that’s very normal for regular families. We must rely
66
our own to make a better future for ourselves.”
A student of Sichuan University graduate said, “The most important is love. I believe our living conditions
67
（gradual） get better.”
Some professor says a “naked marriage” is in sharp contradiction with China’s
68__
