And some 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 isnt 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. Its 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?Write a 200-word reply and send it to us. The last day for reply is April 10th.

But the results of a new study show that a mothers voice alone can be just as comforting to an anxious child as physical contact(接触).In an experiment, researchers from the University of Wisconsin Madison asked a group of girls between the ages of 7 and 12 to solve math problems in front of judgesa stressful situation for anyone. Before the girls were set to give their answers, the researchers measured their levels of two hormones(荷尔蒙): cortisol, which goes up during stressful periods, and oxytocin, the love hormone, which goes down at the same time.After the girls finished the problems, some of them got to meet up with their mothers right away. The moms came in and hugged the girls. Another group of the girls didnt see their mothers, but received phone calls from them, in which their mothers told them how well theyd done. The final group had no contact with their mothers, but instead watched an animal movie, March of the Penguins.Finally, the girls hormone levels were measured again. Although the movie was interesting, it did nothing to reduce the childrens anxietybut, surprisingly, both the physical contact and phone calls from their mothers had the same effect on reducing the girls stress levels.So, no matter how old you are, if youre feeling stressed about something in your life, a phone call to Mom might be just the key to help you feel better.（1）If a girl is under stress, .
