Today's story is about Zhu Hui, a student1Shenzhen. He's now studying in the United States. He's living with an American family in New York.

    Today is the Dragon Boat Festival. It's 9:00 am and Zhu Hui's family2at home. His mum and aunt3zongzi. His dad and uncle are watching the boat races on TV.

Is Zhu Hui also watching the races and4zongzi? Well, it's 9:00 pm in New York, and it's the night before the festival. But there isn't a Dragon Boat Festival in the United States, so it's like any other night for Zhu Hui and his host family. The mother is reading a story to her young children. The father is5a soccer game on TV. And6Zhu Hui doing? He's7the phone to his cousin in Shenzhen. Zhu Hui misses his family and wishes8his mum's delicious zongzi. Zhu Hui likes New York and his host family a lot, but there's still "no place like home".

    Most children don't enjoy doing housework. They like playing computer games rather than cleaning the rooms. But in Australia, Jim and Robert's mother, Mrs. Black, has good and proper methods to get their children to do housework.

    Here is an example.

    "Mum, have you worked out next week's housework? Let Jim and me choose(选择) the cards. I can't wait. It's fun!" When Robert shouts out, his mother has already put all the cards on their big table. On the cards, there are some words like "sweep the floor"" clean your bedroom" "help Mum cook" "wash vegetables" make beds" feed the fish" "cut the wood " "clean the bathroom " and many others. Jim and Robert choose two cards for each day from Monday to Friday. Then they will hang(挂) them on the weekday task board. Jim likes to clean the bathroom, so he picks up the card "clean the bathroom". Robert loves to make the bed so he picks up his favourite card. Jim again picks up "wash vegetables" and Robert chooses "feed the fish". Soon' the two boys are happy to take away all the cards.

    To help the children do housework, their mother thinks hard and comes up with this idea. Of course, the parents do housework on weekends and leave Jim and Robert two days free.
