第二节 英汉互译（10分）
Dear Sir,
71.I think it is important for children to learn how to do chores and help their parents with housework. It is not enough to just get good grades at school. 72.Children these days depend on their parents too much. They are always asking, “Could you get this for me?” or “73.请你能帮我做那个好吗？” Doing chores helps to develop children's independence and teaches them how to look after themselves. It also helps them to understand the idea of fairness. Since they live in one house with their parents, they should know that everyone should do their part in keeping it clean and tidy. Our neighbors’ son got into a good col lege but during his first year,74.他不知道如何照顾自己。As a result, he often fell ill and his grades dropped. 75.The earlier kids learn to be independent, the better it is for their future.
Mr. Smith
