A poor traveler arrived in a small village. He had no food or money and had not eaten anything in days. The one thing he did have was a cooking pot.
He built a small cooking fire, placed his pot on it, and poured in some water. When a few villagers asked what he was doing, he replied that he was making stone soup, which was an ancient tasty recipe(食谱). He then dropped in a smooth, round stone into the pot.
As the soup warmed, the traveler told the villagers stories of his travels and the exciting things he'd seen. He tasted his soup and said it was coming along nicely, but a bit of salt would bring out the flavor(风味). One curious villager went into her home and returned with some salt for the soup.
A few more villagers walking by stopped to see what was going on when they heard the traveler speaking. The traveler told more stories and said that a couple of carrots or onions would be a nice addition to the already delicious soup. So, another villager said he could give a few carrots. Finally, the soup was ready and everyone enjoyed the tasty meal prepared for them from just a pot.
1.The only thing the poor traveler had was a big stone.
2.The traveler put a round stone into the pot to make stone soup.
3.The first curious villager went home and returned with some carrots for the soup.
4.The traveler got the soup and paid for nothing.

阅读下面短文,完成86至90题。
Many kids do housework such as doing the dishes, making the bed, and folding the clothes. In exchange, they get some money or other computer time.
Paying kids for housework is one of the most popular topics, especially at a time when everyone is more careful about money. Some parents think since adults are paid to do their jobs, we should pay kids for everyday housework.
But some people don’t think kids should get rewards(报酬) for doing housework. Susie Walton, an expert, believe that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isn’t worth doing unless you get something in return. “①Running any kind of housework is a team effort,” Walton said. “A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It’s important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities in the house, and families decide how they want their home to look, and how they are going to keep it looking like what they want.”
Other people believe that getting a reward encourages kids to do housework, ②and it also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to get money. There are also apps(程序) that gives kids points and digital gifts that can be redeemed(兑现) either online or in the real world. “Our goal is to give kids lawful power so they can get rewards,” says Chris Bergman. “And kids need rewards to help encourage them. ”
