Plant-based ice creams have become a good summer choice these days.  If you doubt it, you may go to a local store and count all the ice creams that do not use cows' milk. Actually, plant-based ice cream sales have a 300% increase since 2018.

  One is that people care about their health. Plant-based ice creams contain less fat, so they are healthier. Environmental protection is also a reason. Since these ice creams are made from different kinds of plant milk, less water and energy are required in the production.

People used to think that plant-based ice creams tasted less delicious and less creamy.  Thanks to recent technological innovations(创新), plant-based ice creams of new flavors are introduced. They taste just like the creamy and smooth ice creams made from cows' milk. As you can tell, the quality is really there, and people are becoming more and more interested in the new flavors.

With the growing popularity, the plant-based ice cream industry is making more money. Years ago, only a few companies produced plant-based ice creams. 

A. But it's no longer the case.

B. The results might surprise you.

C. They are more popular now than ever before

D. There are several reasons for the sharp growth.

E. Now more ice cream makers have entered the business

Chores: Good for Kids, Good for You

    A recent study showed that most adults did household chores when they were young.  Kids nowadays spend a good deal of their time on homework and after-school activities.

    An expert said, “Parents today want their kids to spend time on things that can bring them respect. We have stopped doing the one thing that has proven to bring success.

    One study found that young adults who began chores at ages 3 and 4 were more likely to succeed. Compared to no-chore kids, they had better family relations, did better in school, did better at work and were more self-confident. Personal happiness is said to come from strong relationships. It begins by learning to be kind and helpful at home.

    If your kids say they have to skip chores to do homework, do not let them off the hook.  “What may seem like small messages at the moment,” an expert says, “add up to big messages over time.”

    Here are some important ideas from experts:

     Thank young children for being a “helper,” not just “helping”. It creates a positive identity.

    Schedule chore time. Write down chores on a calendar that everyone can see (for example, posted in the kitchen).

    Game it. Start small and have young children earn new “levels” of responsibilities, such as going from sorting clothes to earning the right to use the washing machine.

    Keep allowances and chores separate. Do not make chores a business trade.

    Do chores as shared tasks.

    Give chores a PR (public relations) boost. Do not tie chores to punishments. If you complain about doing the dishes, so will your children.

A. Watch your language.

B. That is doing household chores.

C. Instead of saying, “Do your chores,” say, “let's do our chores.”

D. But the same study showed that most kids today do not do household chores.

E. You shouldn't tell your child that grades are more important than caring about others
