Ever watched your child try to get out of doing housework by making excuses? If only the effort they put into avoiding responsibility could be redirected into, well, actual responsibility. In fact, building work ethic (道德) in kids doesn’t require military-style drills. Here are four simple and practical ways.. Make housework part of the family routine.
Involve your child in the daily running of the house: tidying toys, feeding the dog, watering the plants. ____36____ When the tasks become as routine as brushing teeth, kids internalise that helping with housework is simply part of life.
. ____37____
You can’t expect your child to tackle their tasks with enthusiasm while you’re complaining about loading the dishwasher. If your child sees you enjoying your work and taking pride in a job well done, they’re far more likely to do the same.
. Build determination through goals.
____38____ Sometimes you have to help them find their “thing.” Set small, achievable goals together with them and celebrate progress, not perfection. The trick is to let them struggle a bit — resist the urge to help fix things the moment they experience a setback.
. Treat mistakes as opportunities.
Few things strike fear into a child’s heart like the prospect of failing. The best way is to normalise mistakes as a natural part of learning. When kids mess up, don’t jump in with a rescue mission. ____39____

Teaching kids work ethic is to gently and consistently push them toward responsibility, determination, and pride in their efforts. ____40____ No worry. Those habits you’re building now are setting your child up for a lifetime of resilience (韧性) and satisfaction.A. The key is consistency.
B. Help kids develop analytical skills.
C. Model the work ethic you want to see.
D. Instead, encourage them to do differently next time.
E. Sometimes, a cleaner living room is the best reward.
F. Progress can be slow, and you’ll wonder if it’s all sinking in.
G. Not every child is born with the willpower of a marathon runner.
【答案】36. A 37. C 38. G 39. D 40. F
【解析】
第36题
空前列举具体家务内容，空后说“When the tasks become as routine as brushing teeth”，强调家务常规化。A项“The key is consistency.”中“consistency”与“routine”对应，承上启下，选A。
第37题
本段主要讲家长的行为会影响孩子：如果家长抱怨家务，孩子也不会积极;如果家长享受工作并以工作为荣，孩子更可能效仿。因此小标题应为C项“Model the work ethic you want to see.”。
第38题
本段小标题是“通过目标培养毅力”，空后说“有时你需要帮孩子找到适合自己的事，设定小目标”。G项“Not every child is born with the willpower of a marathon runner.”说明并非所有孩子天生意志力强，因此需要通过目标来培养，选G。
第39题
空前说“当孩子搞砸事情时，不要立刻出手补救”，空处需要给出替代方案。D项“Instead, encourage them to do differently next time.”中“Instead”承接前文，给出具体做法，选D。

空后“No worry. Those habits you’re building now are setting your child up for a lifetime of resilience and satisfaction.”是对家长的安慰，说明空处应是家长可能产生的焦虑。F项“Progress can be slow, and you’ll wonder if it’s all sinking in.”提出家长的担忧，与后文安慰形成呼应，选F。
【易错点】
第37题容易误选B(Help kids develop analytical skills)，但本段核心是家长以身作则，而非分析能力。第40题容易误选E，但E项“更干净的客厅是最好的奖励”与后文“No worry”的安慰语气不衔接。
