Many kids help their parents with chores, such as doing the dishes, cleaning the living room and taking out the rubbish. And some kids get money or other rewards(奖赏) such as more computer time by doing chores.

But some people do not think that kids should get rewards by doing chores. Susie Walton.an expert, believes that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isn't important unless you can get something. "Running any kind of family is a team work," Walton says. "A home is a living place for everyone in the family. It's important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities in the house."

Other people believe that getting money or other rewards makes kids do chores happily and it also teaches them real world lessons about what we need to do to make money. There are also now apps(应用软件). With the Chore﹣Monster app, kids can get points and online gifts by doing chores. Kids can change them into real life rewards either online or in the real world. "We hope kids can do more chores so they can get more rewards," one man says.

What do you think? Should kids get rewards for doing chores? Or should kids help do chores without getting anything?

The number of buses,taxis and other transportations on Kenya's roads is growing every day.

Now,the country's first electric﹣powered motorbike is being made.The motorbike is designed(设计)to cut down on pollution. It's much cheaper so that most of people can afford it.

Most motorbikes used in Kenya depend on gas as fuel(燃料), but not this new motorbike. Its energy comes from sunlight.

Three university students developed the new motorbike. It receives the sun's energy,stores it in batteries (蓄电池) and uses it to charge (充电) the electric motorbike.

Robert Achoge is one of the student inventors."Our hope is that by the fifth year,we will be able to cover the whole Kenya with the electric motorbike in order to improve the environment and provide affordable transport. "

The students have set up a fueling station for the motorbikes in Nairobi. Riders can charge the motorbikes in the station. The small battery can run for 70 kilometers when they're fully charged. Once the power is used up, the motorbike has to return to the fueling station while another charged battery is connected to the motorbike. The US African Development Foundation is providing some money for two solar﹣powered charging stations in the Kenyan port of Kisumu.

Each motorbike costs about ﹩700. One motorbike rider says the new motorbike costs less to ride than motorbikes running on traditional fuel." When talking about buying fuel, there is no need. It's basically good for everyone. Even though you won't carry quite a heavy load,you can go with it anywhere."

A Nairobi dealership is selling the motorbikes. Businessman Kennedy Kusimba hopes they will become popular. "We also know they are more reliable, compared to the gas﹣powered motorbikes. They are more useful and they will last longer."
