Why do some people think that both wives and husbands should do household chores?
2. Why do many people think that children should do some chores?

1.
be a problem. Who does them? Whoshould do them? In the past, many womenstayed at home and did all the chores.Husbands went out to work and expectedtheir wives to clean and cook. Nowadays,though, more and more women have jobsoutside the home. So most people thinkthat both wives and husbands shouldshare responsibility for doing householdchores. But what about kids? Shouldchildren help their parents around thehouse? If so, how old should they be whenthey start? How often should they help?And should they get money for helping?
Many people agree that children shouldhelp around the house. Doing chores isone way that children can learn to takeresponsibility for the mess they make.Some even say that young children shouldhelp in the home. They can do easy jobs -
example, can help do the laundry byseparating dark-colored and Iight-coloredclothes.
One problem is making sure that childrenand teenagers help regularly with chores.To solve this problem, some people suggestmaking a list of household chores, either onpaper or on a computer spreadsheet. Thelist can have four parts: daily chores (suchas doing the dishes), weekly chores(washing the car), monthly chores (cleaningthe refrigerator), and yearly chores(cleaning the garage). Another suggestionto make sure that children do jobs aroundthe house is to pay them. Some people saythat this helps children and teenagers learnhow to manage money, but others think it'swrong to pay kids to help because they arepart of the family. After all, no one paysMom or Dad to do the chores!

Energy is very impoftant in modern life. People use energyto run machines, heat or cool their homes, cook, providelight, and transport people and products. Most energynowadays comes from fossil fuels - petroleum, coal, andnaturat gas. l-lowever, burning fossil fuels causes pollution.
Scientists are working to find other kinds of energyforthe future. What might these sources of energy be?
Energy from wind All over the world, people use thepower of wind. lt turns windmills and moves sailboats.It is a clean source of energy, and there is lots of it,particu{arly in countries such as the Netherlands andDenmark. Unfortunately, if the wind does not blow,there is no wind energy.
Energy from water When water moves from a híghplace to a lower place, it makes energy. Thís energyrreates electricity without pollution through the use
of dams and water turbines. Laos plans to build 55
dams and become the "battery"of southeastAsia.Dams, however, cost a lot of money to build, so
water energy is expensive.
Energy from the earth There is heat in rocks underthe earth. Scientists use this heat to make geothermal
energy. ln lceland, 87 percent of the population enjoyscentral heating from this energy source - and ¡t costsless than half the price of using oil for central heating.Moreover, geothermal energy does not pollute" Theproblem is location - it's only available in a few places
in the world.
Energy from the sun Solar panels on the roofs ofhouses can turn energy from the sun into electrici§"These panels can create enough energy t0 heat or coolan entire house. ln fact, some scientists say that ¡f webuild solar panels in just 1 percent ofthe Sahara Desert,
in countries such as Algeria and Libya, there will be
enough electricity for the entire world. However, solarenergy is expensive to export.
Energy from living organisms Living organisms, such
as plants and algae, can produce energy that is calledbiofuel. By 2017, about 90 percent of cars in Brazil willhave "flex-fuel" engines: they can run on gasoline orbiofuels. Biofuels are renewable. For example, sugarcane(used to make ethanol) can be produced every year. But
some people say we should use farmland to producefood, not biofuels.
