The boy tried to find it out himself. Through lots of research, Cress found out that Americans use about 500 million straws every day. In hopes of cutting down plastic waste, he founded the Be Straw Free project in 2011. Cress started the project in his hometown Burlington. Vermont. He asked a local restaurant to stop offering straws with every drink order. It was a simple change. However, it would save money. And by doing that, the restaurant would cut down on its straw use by 50 percent. For the year that followed, Cress tried to spread his project across the United States. More and more restaurants agreed to join. They stop providing the customer with a straw unless he or she asks for one. Last April, Seattle became the first American city to completely ban plastic straws. After his project became popular, Cress took his findings on the road. He has spoken to tens of thousands of students around the world. He wants to encourage more people to say no to plastic straws. Focusing on straws is one simple step we all could take, Cress says.

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. If you want to read more ideas about topic, you can click here.（1）Susie Walton agrees that _. A . kids should do more chores than parentsB . Parents should make their kids do more choresC . Kids shouldnt get rewards by doing chores.D . Kids should do chores as young as possible（2）How does the Chore-Monster app help parents? A . By making kids like doing chores.B .

However D. proud E. looked down F. accept G. understood H. said I. surprised J. food K. brave L. whatIn China, people think being modest(谦虚的）is a virtue(美德）and being proud is bad. Once I heard an American boy say to a Chinese girl, Your spoken English is good. But the girl answered, No, no. My English is very poor. The boy felt _. He thought he might not make himself understood or the girl had not heard him _ Yes, you speak very well, he said again. _the girl still kept saying No. In the end, the boy didnt know _ to say. Whats wrong with the girls answer? She didnt _ the praise in the same way as the American people do. She _ what the American boy had said, but she thought she should be modest. In the west, people will feel _ and confident when they are praised. So if someone says the _ you have made is very delicious, you should say, Thank you. In western countries, if you say No while working, people may think that you really cannot do it. If you often say No, youll certainly be _ upon by others. So in the west, you should be _ to show yourself. In my opinion, being confident does not mean being proud, so sometimes you should be confident of yourself.四、 单词拼写 (共1题；共1分)7. （1分）A _(感觉) of humour is a great asset(资产) for a person. 五、 语法填空 (共1题；共1分)8. （1分）阅读下面短文，按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，在空格处填入一个适当的词或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空（每空不超过三个单词）。When a baby cries, its parents will check on it as soon as they can and make sure it is okay.
