Should children do the chores? Some people think that children should not do the chores but many experts(专家) believe that children can learn something from doing the chores. They can learn problem-solving and independence from the chores.
However , most experts agree that the chores should fit the child. For example, young children shouldn't wash the dishes or take out the rubbish. However, they can do the chores like picking up toys, putting books in the bookcase to keep the home tidy. In fact, young children usually would like to do the chores because they like doing what Mom or Dad does, and that helps them feel more grown-up.
As the children grow older, many experts advise giving them more difficult chores like washing the dishes and walking the dog. However , children usually do not want to do the chores. The middle school students may spend more than two hours a night on their homework. Maybe more chores on the weekend, not on weekdays can be helpful.
73.Which chore is the best for 5-year-old Lisa? ( 举一个例子不超过5个词)

22.（20分）How to deal with sadness
There may be too much sadness in our life. We might be very sad because of the terrible environment, bad weather, big disasters and so on. If we can't face it positively, it will affect our emotional and physical health.
Everyone can't be happy all the time. But it is useless to be sad! When we have some sadness, we'd better talk to our teachers or our classmates. We shouldn't be alone every day. After school, we should play with our friends. Why not listen to soft music or take part in activities? We may feel much better. We can also talk to our parents and deal with sadness together. We should cheer ourselves up. Study hard and we will forget sadness.
In a word, sadness is everywhere. If we keep it out, we will have a better life!。
