Lisa got angry. “How dirty and untidy our room is!” she said to her children. “I can’t work all day and then do housework all evening. I’m not doing the housework any more!” And so, Lisa didn’t do the housework. She didn’t clean. She didn’t do the dishes. She didn’t wash the clothes. Every evening she sat in the sofa and watched TV.
Three days later, every dish in the house was dirty. All the children’s clothes were dirty, too. Rubbish was everywhere. The whole house was messier and smelt terrible.
Then one day Lisa got very surprised when she came home from work. The kitchen was clean. The children cleaned all the dirty dishes! The next day, the living room was clean, and the children were washing their clothes. Lisa told the children, “OK, I’ll do housework again. But you must help me.”

阅读下面短文，从所给A-F留个选项中选出五个正确的选项填空。
Should parents ask their children to do chores? 1 They think that children are too young to cook or clean for themselves or their parents. But many people believe that children can learn a lot from doing regular chores. Parents should help children learn to do the housework that they will have to do when they live on their own. 2 Most experts(专家) do agree. 3 Parents shouldn’t , of course, ask a school boy to cook when he is doing his homework. If the child has activities after school, the time left to do chores may be short.
4 When a child does what his parents ask him to do happily, he will probably have the feeling of growing up. Chores can be useful. They are a teaching tool(工具). Parents use the tool to teach children, so that they can care for themselves some day. 5 If parents keep a clean house, children won’t find any reason to do chores. A. And they also give children a sense of responsibility, importance and confidence. B. Parents must make children understand how hard they work. C. However, the chores should suit(适合于)children. D. Doing chores can help children get better grades. E. Some believe that children should not do chores. F. Perhaps more chores on weekends can be helpful. 1. ___________ 2. ___________ 3. ___________ 4. ___________ 5. ___________
