四、閱讀短文，根據(jù)所讀內(nèi)容，在文章1-9小題的空格里填入最恰當(dāng)?shù)?個單詞，第10小題回答問題，詞數(shù)不限。
Many Chinese primary and middle school students can't do housework today and do not take such work seriously. So some are unable to wash their own clothes when they enter college.
The Ministry of Education (教育部) starts a new curriculum standard (課程標(biāo)準(zhǔn)) for housework education for students from Grade 1 to Grade 9, making it an important course that students must take at least once a week. The new standard asks students in Grade 1-2 to learn to sweep the floor, Grade 3-4 to learn to plant vegetables, and Grade 5-6 to have the skills of cooking two to three dishes. Students in middle schools will learn to repair machines instead of paying someone to do it. This new standard is popular among many people.
Wang: We all know housework education is important. However, some students are unable to do the easiest housework, as their parents think they should spend more time on study. Some of them grow to be unwilling to do any kind of housework. Housework education should make students become more interested in labour (勞動), help them try different kinds of housework, and most importantly, correct the way they think about labour. The housework course will become an important way to make their personalities better.
Li: In order for students to grow in an all-round way, primary and middle schools should add the housework course to their curriculum and help students learn and love housework. It is important to make the housework class interesting so that the students will really get some skills for daily life. For this reason, schools have to invite more professional teachers to give classes instead of putting this new stress on parents and other teachers who are already busy with their daily work.
Zhang: Some people think students don't have to waste time learning housework. If you want to have meals, you can order food through the Internet. And for machine repairs, you can ask for professional (專業(yè)的) help. However, people with the skills of housework can go through daily life much more easily.
It is the first step in helping young students have a healthy idea of labour and be able to look after themselves in daily life.
