三、阅读理解
Have you ever worked at home？ Maybe most of the students' answers are “no”. It's necessary to teach children the importance of doing housework at an early age.
By letting children，even as young as two years old， help with housework， parents can not only help them learn the basic life skills they will need as adults， but also make them feel like they are a necessary part of the family.
Christine M. Field， the writer of Life Skills for Kids， says it's important for parents to ask children to take part in chores.
“When my son was about one year old， he loved to be with me when I was folding the clothes，” said Field， a full-time mother， to the newspaper. “Of course， he didn't give any help. But I would still give him towels (毛巾) to wash. Now Daniel is three years old， and he's our towel man！ He feels like he is needed.”
Letting children help with tasks also gives parents time to teach them and to be close to them. Turn housework into a game. Kids will be more active to do chores if fun is part of the job.
( )11. The writer thinks children can do housework even when they are as young as _________ year(s) old.
A. one B. two C. three D. four
( )12. What does the underlined word “basic” in Paragraph 2 mean？
A. Boring. B. Relaxing. C. Difficult. D. Necessary.
( )13. When will children be glad to do housework？
A. When teachers say it is important.
B. When their parents are busy.
C. When other kids like doing it.
D. When they find it is interesting.

A. Daniel could fold the clothes when he was one year old.
B. Doing housework can make children feel they are needed.
C. Housework sometimes helps children with their study.
D. Christine M. Field doesn't think children should do housework.
