听力原文: Every family has its own problems. Here is what one family decided to do about its problems.
A newspaper recently printed an article about a family in the state of Wisconsin. The family's name is Brown. The interesting thing about the family is that it has its own constitution. Young Tim Brown suggested writing one. He is one of six children. The oldest one is 22 years old, and the youngest is seven.
Tim decided that a constitution was needed. Although the members of the family loved each other, they often disagreed. They did not agree about doing the jobs that needed to be done. Which child should wash the dishes? Which one should clean the house? Who should cut the grass and set the table? The answers to these questions were written down. All the children in the family signed the constitution, which named Tim's father and mother as "Presidents for Life".
There is a law about the time when the children in the family must go to bed. According to the constitution, everyone under 14 must go to bed before 10 p.m. As it happens, Tim is 14 years old.
