Do you like doing chores? Many kids do housework such as doing the dishes, making the bed and folding the clothes. In exchange, they may get some money or computer time. Paying kids for housework is one of the most popular topics, especially at a time when everyone is more careful about money. Some parents think since adults are paid to do their jobs, we should pay kids for everyday housework.

But some people don't think kids should get rewards(报酬) for doing housework. Susie Walton, an expert believes that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isn't worth(值得) doing unless you get something in return. "Doing any kind of housework is a team effort." Walton said." A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It's important for kids to see that we all have duties in the house, and that families decide how they want their home to look, and how they are going to keep it looking like what they want. "

Other people believe that getting a reward encourages kids to do housework, and that it also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to get money. There are also apps(程序) that give kids points and digital gifts that can be redeemed(兑现) either online or in the real world. "Our goal is to help kids do their part and then they can get rewards, "says Chris Bergman. "And kids need rewards to help encourage them."

This is the year 2070. Today is my fiftieth birthday, but I look like a person of eighty-five. I have serious kidney(肾脏) problems because I don't have enough water to drink. I'm afraid 1 don't have much time left to live. I'm already one of the oldest people in this society.

I remember when l was five years old, everything was very different. There were lots of trees in the parks. I could enjoy a shower for half an hour. At that time, women all had beautiful hair. Now, we have to shave(剃光) our heads to keep them clean without the use of water.

I remember there were "Save Water'' warnings in many public places, but nobody paid attention. We believed water would last forever. Now, all the rivers and lakes are either dry or polluted. Water is much more expensive than gold and diamonds.

In the past, doctors suggested adults drink eight glasses of water a day. Nowadays, I am allowed half a glass only. Most people are weak and sick.

When my son asks me about my childhood, l tell him about how pleasant it was to fish in the rivers and how healthy people were. When he asks, "Why is there no clean water now?'' I feel guilty (内疚的). I belong to those people who simply turned a blind eye to all the warnings.

I hope the people living in the 2020s truly understand the importance of saving water.

Health problems which are connected with climate(气候) change are getting worse, say two recent reports.

The reports followed 44 health problems that are connected with climate change around the world. They include heat deaths, infectious diseases(传染病) and hunger." __________,"said Marina Romanello. She is a research director of the Lancet Countdown project. "With global warming getting worse, doing nothing on climate and health will cost more than acting now, "one of the report says.

The reports are called "code red for a healthy future". One report is centered on the US and the other is centered on the whole world. The reports found some dangerous facts.

In some poor nations, the season for disease-spreading mosquitoes(蚊子) has got longer since the 1950s.

The research also found that 72 percent of countries saw an increase in wildfires. And in 2020, up to 19 percent of the world's land surface was influenced by extreme drought(极端干旱).
