Maybe you clean your room, wash the dishes, sweep or mop (拖) the floor. All of these are “indoor” chores.But in many places — especially in rural (农村) areas and suburbs (郊区) in the US, kids have different “outdoor” chores during different seasons.In the fall, the most common outdoor chore is raking (清扫) leaves. As trees lose their leaves in fall, the leaves will pile up (堆积) in people’s yard. It is up to each family to rake up the leaves and put them in big trash bags. After a heavy snowfall in winter, children help shovel (铲) snow in their front yard. Otherwise (否则) , it might be hard for families to leave their homes.Spring and summer bring lots of rain and sun, which make the grass in people’s yard grow tall. It is common for kids to mow (割草) their yards to keep them fresh and neat (整洁的) .Doing all of these chores might sound like a lot of work. Luckily, most families give their kids a little bit money for doing them. People who don’t have children might even pay neighborhood to take care of chores for them. Either way, it is a good way to make some money if you are not old enough to have a real job.Kids in the US have         outdoor chores during different seasons.A. different    B. similar   C. easy   D. boring22.
