He thinks it is strange that they don’t talk to the ones who sit opposite to them during the meal. Some of them even have fun chatting (闲聊) with others on the phone.
Most families own computers now. A study found that children use the Internet more and more. The number of children using the Internet has grown by three times in the past three years.

Every day she kept looking for possible accidents, almost hoping that something bad would happen to someone, just so she could rescue them. One morning, her dad was eating breakfast when suddenly he started coughing “Finally,” thought Millie, “I have my chance!” But then her dad stopped coughing and he was fine. Millie was down.
Later at school, during lunchtime, her friend Stacy ran to her. “Quick!” She called. “It’s Bobby! He’s unconscious!” Millie ran to help. But all of a sudden she couldn’t remember her ABCs, “No!” She shouted. Then she took a deep breath and remembered. “A for airways.” She checked his mouth. It was clear. But Bobby was very different from the dummy. As she was about to do step B, she thought, “Oh, no. His breath smells.” But she remembered how important it was. She pinched (捏住) his nose and was about to give the mouth-to-mouth rescue breathing when Bobby began laughing and so did Stacy. Millie realized it was all a joke. She hit Bobbie on the arm. She was angry, but then thought and said to her friends, “Well, at least I’d got to practice, and maybe I’d rather not have to do it in real life, anyway!”

阅读下面短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。每个选项仅使用一次。
Do you think doing chores is an interesting thing As we all know, doing chores helps to improve children’s living skills and teaches them how to look after themselves. 12
What kinds of chores do you usually do around the house 13 All of these are “indoor chores”. But in many places—especially in the countryside in the US, kids have different “outdoor chores” during different seasons.
In the fall, the most common outdoor chore is cleaning leaves. As trees lose their leaves in fall, the leaves will pile up (堆积) in people’s yards. It is up to each family to clean up the leaves and put them in big trash bags.
After a heavy snowfall in winter, children also play an important role in doing outdoor chores. They help shovel (铲) snow in their front yard. 14
Spring and summer bring lots of rain and sun which make the grass in people’s yards grow tall. It is common for kids to mow (割草) their yards to keep them fresh and tidy.
Doing all of these chores might sound like a lot of work. 15 People who don’t have children might even pay neighborhood kids to take care of chores for them. It’s a good way to make some money if you aren’t old enough to have a real job yet.
A．Young kids only do easy chores.
B．Maybe you clean your room, wash the dishes, wash clothes, sweep or mop the floor.
C．So, more and more children do chores.
D．If not, it might be hard for families to leave their homes.
E．Luckily, most families give their kids a little bit of money for doing them.
