B. Read the passage and choose the correct answer to each of the following questions.
Children can benefit a lot by helping out at home. Doing chores helps children learn skills
they can use in their adult lives, like preparing meals, cleaning the house or doing the garden. Being
involved in chores also gives children experience of relationship skills like communicating clearly
or working as a team. It also allows them to feel valued and competent. And sharing housework can
also help families work better and reduce family stress. When children help out, chores get done
quicker and parents have less to do. This frees up time for the family to do fun things together. As a
result, family life is more pleasant when everyone shares the chores.
It’s best to start by choosing chores that work for children’s ages and abilities. Getting
children into the habit of doing housework can begin as young as the age of three, by asking them to
put away their toys when they’ve done playing with them. Older children can help with setting the
table, cleaning, cooking and so on. Teenagers can help with preparing or cooking dinner,
babysitting their younger siblings or shopping for groceries. However, there are some children who
are motivated to do chores for pocket money. It might not be a good idea. Instead of linking chores
to pocket money, parents can praise children’s positive behaviours and give them small rewards like
choosing the TV programmes or having a special meal.
31. What is the main idea of the first paragraph?
A. Parents should teach children to do housework.
B. There are many advantages of children sharing housework.
C. There are lots of household chores that children can do.
D. Children can learn many skills by doing housework.
32. Sharing housework helps reduce family stress by ______.
A. teaching kids how to communicate clearly
B. helping children to grow up
C. allowing children to work in teams

33. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Giving children chores can help reduce the workload for parents.
B. Parents should ask children to do chores that are suitable for their ages.
C. 3-year-old children can help parents with some simple chores.
D. Teenagers often do chores so they can gain life experience.
34. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. Parents shouldn’t pay their kids for chores.
B. Only teenagers can babysit their brothers and sisters.
C. Parents should ask their children to share the housework when they are young.
D. When parents work, children have to do the household chores.

THE ROYAL BALLET SCHOOL, LONDON
The Royal Ballet School is one of the greatest centres for classical ballet
training in the world. The school has two buildings, one near Richmond Park for 11
to 16-year-old students and the other in Covent Garden for older students. Many
famous ballet dancers have come from this school. To get into the school, students
have to audition – they have to perform in front of judges from the school. Over
2,000 children from all over the world attend auditions for the school each year, but
only around 100 boys and girls get a place. All students live at the school in dormitories separated
by gender and year group.
During the week, students usually wake up at 7 a.m. They have breakfast, and then come to
class to warm up before class begins at 9 a.m. From then until 4 p.m., each student completes four
hours of academic lessons and two hours of ballet class. In the late afternoon, there may be more
dance classes, rehearsals or free time before supper. They then do one hour of supervised
homework at 7.15 p.m. before bedtime. Mealtimes are in the dinning hall and are an important part
of the day. It’s time for students to relax and socialize. International students also have the option to
take exams in their home country’s academic syllabus while having their dance training in London.
In the evening, when students aren’t in class or practicing ballet, they can play tennis or play table
football in the student halls.
