【題目】Homework: more or less

In answer to the trend, one after another anti-homework movements are coming. This time critics (批評者) aren’t just complaining that there’s too much of it but they’re also questioning why the homework is so dull.

The argument over what or how much homework should he comes partly from the fact that educators can’t seem to agree on the purpose of homework.

Some teachers think that homework is necessary to strengthen what is learnt in school. And so they ask their students to memorize what was discussed in class through homework.

Some teachers think the point of homework is to cover material that the class didn’t have time to get to, so their homework is to let students learn additional things.

Other teachers like homework simply because they want students to form work habits and still others believe homework is very important because it is the best way for parents to learn what their children do in school.

But many parents seem to have different ideas.

Elisa who has twins at a primary school doesn’t like; the fact that third-grade students in primary schools are asked to write about 25 book summaries a year. “They do the same thing over and over without really getting into alternative ways of thinking about books and thinking about reading and writing.”

Some education reformers such as Howard Gardner, a Harvard University professor, say, “Teachers can ask children to do things which require the use of different kinds of intelligence, for example, preparing for a debate, creating a work of art, designing a program or carrying out different experiments.”

But it is often hard to persuade overworked teachers to give much thought to homework assignments.

Is there much difference between students who do different amounts of homework?

【1】Which of the following opinions about homework is not mentioned?

A. Students’ attitude. B. Parents’ ideas.

C. Experts’ opinions. D. What teachers think.

【2】The underlined word “it” in the first paragraph refers to ________.

A. anti-homework B. homework

C. why the homework is so dull D. movement

【3】Which of the following statements is NOT the teachers' opinion on homework?

A. Homework is necessary to strengthen what is learnt in school.

B. Homework is to cover materials the class didn’t have time to get to.

C. Doing homework is the best way for parents to learn what their children do in school.

D. The children should be asked to do the homework using different kinds of intelligence.

When asking about honesty, people always say honesty is very important. However, it seems that there is still some people not fully aware of it. Once I go to the market with my mum for a big dinner on the Saturday. When we were walking past the tables, a loud noise caught my attentions. It came from a butcher’s stand, where a lady accused him injecting water into the pork and asked for the money back. And the butcher refused and even argued it wouldn’t do harm to my health.

We can see being honest is easy said than done. I think we should plant honesty like a tree in our hearts. With it, we will be complete trusted and popular with others. So why don’t we do it now to be honest?
