Here are a few ways to motivate (激发) your children to do chores.
1._______ Children always watch their parents and learn how to act from them， so the parents must set a good example and take the chores seriously. This motivates children to do the chores， too.
2.________ For younger children， give them easy work， like putting away their toys. As the children get older， make them do more difficult chores.
3.________ Discuss the importance of doing chores and how they help the whole family. Knowing the importance of chores helps to motivate children to do them.
4.________ When children finish chores on the list， parents can reward (奖励) them by giving them a prize. A chore list also gives the children a sense of pride (自豪感) when they finish all of their chores.

Sally was a student. It was going to be her mother’s birthday. She wanted to buy her a gift that would be nice and useful but not expensive.
A week before her mother’s birthday， she went shopping after a quick and simple lunch. When she had been looking for half an hour， she found a shop that was selling cheap umbrellas， and decided to take a black one， since her mother had lost hers the month before.
She thought， “You could carry that when you are wearing clothes of any color.” So she decided to buy a lovely black umbrella and took it back to school with her until her classes had finished.
On her way back home in the train that evening， she felt hungry because she had such a small lunch that she went along to the buffet car（餐车） for another sandwich and cup of coffee. She had left the black umbrella above her seat in the compartment（车厢）， but when she got back， it had gone! When she had left the compartment， there had been no other passengers in it， but now there were three.
Sally began to cry when she saw that the umbrella was no longer there. The other passengers felt very sorry for her and asked what the matter was. She told them that the black umbrella she had bought for her mother was gone， and that she had to get out at the next station. After the three other passengers heard it， they asked her for her mother’s address so that they could sent the umbrella to her if someone had taken it by mistake and brought it back after Sally had got out of the train.
The next week， Sally heard from her mother. It said， “Thank you very much for your lovely gifts， but why did you send me three black umbrellas?”

An eight-year-old child heard her parents talking about her little brother. All she knew was that he was very sick and they had no money. Only a very expensive operation (手术) could save him now and there was no one to lend them the money. When she heard her daddy say to her tearful mother， “Only a miracle (奇迹) can save him now，” the little girl went to her bedroom and pulled her money from its hiding place and counted it carefully. She ran to a drugstore（药店）with the money in her hand.
“And what do you want?” asked the salesman.
“It’s for my little brother，” the girl answered. “He’s really， really sick and I want to buy a miracle.”
“Pardon?” said the salesman.
“My brother Andrew has something bad growing inside his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him. So how much does a miracle cost?”
“We don’t sell a miracle here， child. I’m sorry，” the salesman said with a smile.
“Listen， if it isn’t enough， I can try and get some more. Just tell me how much it costs.”
A well-dressed man heard it and asked， “What kind of a miracle does your brother need?”
“I don’t know，” she answered with her eyes full of tears. “He’s really sick and mum says he needs an operation. But my daddy can’t pay for it， so I have brought all my money.”
“How much do you have?” asked the man.
“$ 1.11， but I can try and get some more，” she answered.
“Well， what luck，” smiled the man. “$ 1.11， the price of a miracle for little brothers.” He took up the girl’s hand and said， “Take me to where you live. I want to see your brother and meet your parents. Let’s see if I have the kind of miracle you need.”
