According to a recent report,kids in primary school spend about six hours every week doing their homework.So kids hate homework.However,their parents hate homework,too.

Is it good for kids to do homework? Of course,a great

8 / 23

number of researches do show that kids can remember what they have learnt in class better by finishing their homework on time and homework itself plays an important role in developing their learning skills,such as independent thinking and creativity. But for parents,the result is not the same.After a day of hard work,most of them feel like they’re going through school a second time when they sit down with their children each night to help with their homework.And a recent survey found that 46 percent of parents feel like they don’t spend enough time with their children,because they spend too much time doing the housework or helping with homework.And another 29 percent of parents have arguments with their kids often when they have different answers to the same question.

Now several education scientists strongly advise parents to stop helping.They say it will give their kids more independence and give parents back their free time.At the same time,the number of homework-connected arguments will be less at home.Kate Smith,an education scientist,says,“You don’t have to know everything.Children need to put their hands up for help and so do parents.Use your resource-online teachers,or even your neighbourhood-just ask.”

One day,a boy had a fight with one of his classmates.He didn’t wait until school was over,and hurried home to his grandfather.He told him his story angrily.“He is really bad,” the boy said,“and I hate him.”

The grandfather said,“Let me tell you a story.When I was a boy,I sometimes hated others for what they did…”.

As the boy listened carefully,the grandfather went on,“There are always two tigers inside my heart.One is good and kind.He gets on well with everything around him.But the other is bad and unfriendly.Even the smallest thing will make him angry.He fights with everyone all the time,and for no reason.He can’t think carefully because he always hates others.It is difficult to live with these two tigers inside my heart.They both try to control(控制)me.” The boy looked into his grandfather’s eyes and asked,“Which

Teenagers believe anything is possible if they study hard.But they often forget to think about healthy diets,enough sleep time and exercise.In fact,these things are really important for them to keep fit.

It is important for teenagers to get enough energy.Teenage girls need about 2,200 calories a day while boys need a bit more—doctors suggest 2,800 for teenage boys.50% of their calories should come from healthy food—rice,vegetables and fruit.People often say an apple a day keeps the doctor away.Teenagers also need to drink a lot of water,6 to 8 glasses a day.Drinking enough water will improve their skin.

Teenagers usually need eight to ten hours’ sleep at night,but many Chinese teenagers do not get enough sleep.A report shows that without a good night’s sleep,teenagers seem to be weaker than they should be.Too much homework is not the only reason why teenagers stay up late.Some watch TV or play computer games late into the night.Teenagers should develop good study habits.So some clever students never study late,but they are able to work well in class.

Exercise is something that can help them.Experts suggest that teenagers should spend at least 30 minutes exercising a day,five times a week.They will feel relaxed when they exercise.It can even help them sleep better at night.

Ⅷ.根据短文内容回答问题(每小题2分,共10分) Honesty of American students

When I first arrived in America,I was surprised by the honesty of my classmates.Over my first month at school,I didn’t see or hear anyone cheating (作弊).I found two reasons for this. First,if any student cheats,he or she will get punished.My school has a rule called the Honor Code.It asks students not to steal,lie or cheat.If someone goes against the code,he or she will

15 / 23

have to leave the school.During my first year in the school,seven students left the school because of cheating.

Second,American students don’t care about scores(考试成绩) as much as Chinese students do.They know that colleges will look at their all-round abilities instead of only scores.So they have fewer reasons to cheat.
