Some teenagers think that newspapers are boring and only for adults. But that’s not true. There are many interesting stories in the paper. You just need to make clear what you are looking at. “I spend about half an hour reading newspapers every day,” said 15-year-old Gao Ming from Beijing. “I’m interested in things happening at school.” School news is just one kind of news story in newspapers. There’s also world news; from problems at home and abroad to pop stars.
Read the newspaper carefully，and we’ll find different types of articles on the pages: News stories—These stories are about events（事件）. Reporters try to show all points of a story to help readers understand what happened. Reporters try to speak to as many people as possible. They also use pictures and numbers to show the readers that the stories are true. Teenagers has lots of news stories on the news page and front page. When we read them, we learn more about the facts, not the writers’ ideas.
Opinion writing—Opinion writing is usually about something happening right now. But it isn’t just facts. Here writers add their own opinions to the news. Writers pick only the facts that help back up their ideas. They make readers believe that they are telling the truth. This is usually the kind of story that gets people to think. Go to “Speak Out” on Page Two for an example of opinion writing in Teenagers.
Advertisement—Don’t get happy too early when you read them. Those sweet words and lovely pictures are just ways to get us interested in their products（产品）！People have to pay to put advertisements in newspapers！

Many kids help their parents to do chores such as washing the dishes cleaning the floors and taking out the rubbish in the house. And some kids get money or other rewards from their parents, such as playing computer games for 20 minutes.
But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing chores. One of them is Susie Walton, a parenting educator. She believes that if kids get rewards, they will think that work isn’t worth（值得）doing unless they can get something. For example, kids won’t sweep the floor if they see it is dirty. But they will clean the floor if their parents reward them for it. Susie said, A home is a living place for everyone in the family. It's important for kids to see that it's all families' job to keep their homes clean. "
Other people have different opinions（观点）. They believe that money or other rewards can encourage（鼓励） kids to do more chores. It also teaches them real world lessons that we need to work to make money. Now, there are also apps that encourage kids to do chores. The apps give kids points and gifts that can be used either online or in the real world. With the ChoreMonster app, kids get points after doing chores. Kids can exchange（交换）their points for real rewards, such as time to play video games or a trip to the mall.
What do you think? Should kids be rewarded for doing chores? Or should kids help out around their homes without getting anything?

Did your parents ask you to do chores when you were a child? Recently, a short video about a
six-year-old boy doing housework before going to school in the morning has become
 popular online. The boy is so independentthat many people follow him with interest.
The little boy will jump into action as soon as he gets up. He wakes up at 6 in the morning.
 First, he gets dressed and makes his bed.Then he prepares some eggs and bread for breakfast. 
After breakfast, he does the dishes in the kitchen quickly. Then he goes back to his bed room to put on his new clothes.
At 6:45, he goes to the bathroom to wash up. Then, he puts some dirty clothes in the 
washing machine and sweeps the floor. When he is ready to go to school with his schoolbag, 
he takes out one or two bags of  rubbish to throw.
The boy is only six years old, but he is able to finish all the chores by himself.
 After watching the video, most people think the boy's mother is right to help the boy develop
 the habit of independence. However, some think the boy is too young and that he shouldn't
 do so much housework.
