    Many kids help parents to do chores in the house. They may take out the trash, 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 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,"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 ChoreMonster, kids earn（赚取） digital points after doing chores. Kids can exchange their points for 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 （创始人）of ChoreMonster. "Kids need positive （积极的） power to make them do chores."

    "Anne, go to your room and stay there until I come up, "said Marill. Anne ran to her room, crying.

    Afterward, Marilla went upstairs to talk to Anne.

    "Mrs. Lynde had no right to call me ugly and red﹣headed, "Anne cried.

    "No, "Anne said. "I'm not sorry. "

    "Please, Mrs. Lynde, forgive me or being so rude to you yesterday. I am so very sorry. Can you find it in your heart ever to forgive me？"

    Marilla thought Anne's apology was rather strange.

    "Get up, child, "said Mrs. Lynde. "Of course I forgive you. I was a little too hard on you Now, go into the garden and pick a few flowers for yourself. "

    Heart disease is the leading cause of death for many people. Healthy eating is really important. How can you have a healthy diet？ Here are five tips that are worth putting into use in your daily life.

    Eat less animal fat. The kind of fat in your diet really has to do with heart disease. If you're a red meat lover, don't choose the animal meat with much fat. When you're shopping for milk products like cheese and yogurt, choose those with less or no fat. And remember to use plant oils instead of butter in cooking.

    Choose fruits or vegetables. Either of them can provide a great number of good things for your body. If you are afraid of too many calories, focus more on vegetables since they usually have less sugar than fruits do. Set a goal to eat one more serving than you do now! Then try to have five servings a day.

    Choose the natural first. Nature provides important things like fiber（纤维）in foods to meet the needs of your body. There are also man﹣made foods to support your body with these important things. For example, some biscuits are advertised as rich in fiber. But do remember: nature provides the best.

    Pick fresh foods more. Follow the saying "If it's grown, eat it "Simply prepared fresh food is always the best choice. Research shows that more than seventy-five percent of salt you eat is from boxed, bagged and specially prepared dried or frozen food. What's worse, most of the bad fats which you need to avoid are also from them.

    Control your food size. You should not only think about what you eat, but also how much you eat. Even the calories from healthy food can add up fast. So try using smaller plates and bowls, to fool your eyes as if you're "seeing" a large part and add the pleasure of eating "the whole thing".

    Remember healthy eating is a long﹣term project, you need to follow the tips over time, not daily. Then your healthy diet will certainly support a healthy heart.

    Mark Twain is one of the most quoted authors ever. There are hundreds of his quotations（语录） on posters and websites. Here is an example：

    "If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything. "—Mark Twain.

Quotations like this one give us guidance. It reminds us that telling a lie is much more difficult than telling the truth. Telling a lie means you have to remember what you said each time you tell the lie. If you tell the truth, there is nothing to remember. He suggests that you shouldn't lie not because it is wrong, but because it is hard work. Here is another example.

    "Always obey your parents when they are present. " —Mark Twain

    Again, the quotation give good advice﹣to always obey your parents, but the humorous part is when they are present. The quotation tells you to obey your parents when they are there with you — because they can see what you are doing.

    Albert Einstein's quotations are also popular. Many of his quotations are inspirational（鼓舞人心的）. This means that they help us to do our best and be the best person we can be. Here is an example：

    "Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow, The important thing is not to stop questioning. "—Albert Einstein

    This is a much more serious quotation than the two Mark Twain ones. It gives us a lot to think about. Also, because this was said by Albert Einstein, it makes us want to take the quotation serious. This quotation give us hope that that we can learn from any mistake we made yesterday. It reminds us to always look closely at everything we do and ask the right questions to help us achieve our best.

    More and more people can drive today. So there are a lot of cars on the street. At this time, many driving direction apps are used very w in our daily life. Now driving is very different.

    But a wrong direction app may make it hard to find the place. It happens to everyone. The direction app tells you to turn left, but there's no s there. It says you should make a U-turn, but there is a s telling drivers not to make U-turns.

    An app is helping with directions, but you should know where you are going and what is h on the roads. There is a man who is driving in a n city. He doesn't know the way well, so he opens his direction app and hopes that will help. But some minutes l, he and his car are in a lake. The app tells him to drive on a b bridge. He calls 110, and sits on the top of the car waiting for help. So, you must tell yourself where to go first. You should a know more about the road conditions before going out.

    Of course, every c has two sides. Most of the direction apps can not only show drivers the right way, but also help them do many other things. They tell drivers which road has fewer cars, when to s down and where there is a camera. So apps are very helpful and useful in our life.
