【題目】A young girl sits at her desk, reviewing her homework for the evening. English: Read three chapters and write a report. Math: Complete 30 problems. Science: Do a worksheet, front and back. French: Study new words for tomorrow’s test. It’s going to be a long night.

This happens to students in America. Now it’s time to start a homework revolution(變革).

According to the National Education Association, a student should be assigned (布置) no more than 10 minutes per grade level per night. For example, a first grader should only have 10 minutes of homework, a second-grader, 20 minutes, and so on. This means that a student in my grade—seventh—should have no more than 70 minutes of work each night. Yet this is often doubled, sometimes even worse!

It’s no good giving students too much homework. According to research, kids are developing more illness at school, such as stomachaches, headaches and sleep problems than before.

Some teachers assign more homework, but they are not the only ones to blame. “Many teachers are under greater pressure than ever before,” says Kylene Beers, President of the National Council for teachers of English, “Some of it comes from parents, some from the wish for high scores on tests.” Teachers who are under pressure feel the need to assign more homework.

Some people have different ideas, saying that homework prepares kids for doing better in high school, better in college, and getting better job in the future. But too much homework is sapping students’ strength, curiosity（削弱學(xué)生的個(gè)性和好奇心), and most importantly, their love of learning, is that really what teachers and parents want?

【題目】When we think summer, most of us think of fun in the outdoors. So it seems easy to lose weight over the summer. In fact, though, it’s quite possible for us to put on weight. The good news is That we can avoid these problems if we know what to pay attention to.

Here are some ways to keep summer weight away.

【3】__________________

Whenever you’re free, find something special to do, like making a dinner for your family. But remember: limit your screen time, no more than two hours a day.

【4】_________________
