My family is still recovering from the terrible times of the past couple of years. They began when my teenaged stepson became ill. His disease led to kidney failure (肾衰竭) and an ongoing need for treatment.
As anyone who has cared for a sick child knows, the stress doesn't go away. And there was so much stress. My husband and I were tired, and it was as if we forgot how to communicate—we couldn't have a simple conversation without fighting. Our once-happy home had become tense and unhappy.
In a rare event of communication, my stepson and I were discussing Valentine's gifts. I recalled that his dad gave me a kazoo (卡祖笛) for our Valentine's Day.
My reaction to this gift was surprise, which quickly turned to frustration and embarrassment. I, a professional pianist, couldn't get it to make a sound. The kazoo eventually got packed away and forgotten.
But he was interested and asked to see it. After some trouble, I found it.
"You couldn't get a sound?" he asked, amazed, turning it around in his hands. "What's so hard about it?"
"I don't know. It just never worked."
My husband took the kazoo—"It's easy! Look, you just do this."—and blew. Nothing happened. Surprised, he tried again. Still there was no sound.
Frustrated, he tried again, only to produce a sound like an angry bee trapped in the mouth of a bear. My stepson burst into laughter.
Seeing his face light up was wonderful. Soon, we were all laughing in the point of tears.
It was as if the dark had lifted and the sunshine was let in. Eyes met and souls reconnected. My stepson took a turn to the kazoo. He did no better than us. More laughing.
It was the best 10 minutes of the past couple of years.
The mood stayed light for the rest of the evening. Months later, we still remember it. It didn't solve anything. While my stepson recently had a successful operation (手术), his life will always have challenges. But this experience with the kazoo proved to be a turning point. It showed us that there are still things to laugh at and enjoy, and we can still connect as a family. Thanks to a simple kazoo, we remembered that we are one.

Martina's Grandpa Peter lived with the family after Grandma's death.
One day, Mom Susan decided to do the spring cleaning. They cleaned the house until everything was clean. Then Mom pointed to Grandpa's sofa and said, "That old sofa has got to go. We'll buy Grandpa a new one."
But as they moved the sofa, Grandpa stopped them and shouted, "You can't take my sofa! I don't want a new one." Mom had to say, "We will talk about it tonight when John gets home." John, Martina's dad, was still at work.
"Grandpa, why don't you let us take away the sofa?" Martina asked at supper. Grandpa shook his head, "I sat in this sofa, with your grandma, when I asked her to marry me. It was so long ago, but when I sit in this sofa and close my eyes, she seems to be near."
"It's surprising!" Martina thought, "How Grandpa can remember things from the past. These days he forgets almost everything."

Many kids help parents to do chores (家务活) in the house. They may take out the rubbish, walk the dog or sweep the floor. In return, some kids get money or other rewards (报酬) from their parents, such as 20 minutes to play computer games.
But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing chores. One of them is Jane Smith, a parenting educator and family coach. She believes if kids get rewards, they may think that work isn't worth (值得) doing unless you get something in return. For example, kids won't sweep the floor if they see it is dirty. But they will do it if their parents reward them for it.
"Every house is a team effort (努力)," Jane said. "A home is a living place for everyone in the family. It's important for kids to see that we all have a responsibility (责任) to keep our home clean."
Other people hold different opinions. They believe that money or other rewards encourage kids to do more chores. It also teaches them real world lessons. They can learn about how we need to work to make money.
Now, there are also apps that encourage kids to do chores. The apps give kids points and digital (电子的) gifts that can be used either online or in life. With the app ChoreMonster, kids earn (赚得) digital points after doing chores. Kids can use their points to get real rewards, such as time to play video games or a trip to the mall. "Our goal is to encourage kids so they can earn rewards," says Joe Black, the founder of ChoreMonster.
"Kids need positive (积极的) power to make them do chores."
(1)、Jane Smith thinks that ____.A、chores aren't worth doing B、kids don't want to do chores C、kids should get money from doing chores D、kids shouldn't get rewards for doing chores(2)、ChoreMonsteris a(n) ____.A、educator B、coach C、app D、app founder(3)、If rewarded for doing chores, kids can learn to ____.A、take responsibilities B、use apps well C、make money through work D、understand team effort(4)、What's the purpose of the app mentioned (被提及) in the passage?A、To give kids points and gifts. B、To encourage kids to do chores. C、To use points for real rewards. D、To give kids advice on doing chores.(5)、The passage mainly talks about ____.A、how to encourage kids to do chores B、what kind of chores kids should do C、If kids should do chores at home D、whether kids should be rewarded for doing chores -
