In July 2017, families in Marion County, Florida, got surprising news about the coming school year. Traditional homework will disappear, at least for primary students.
Last year, Dara, a fifth grader, had two or three hours of homework a night.“I had 12 math questions and six or seven pages of work to do for reading,” she said.Now Dara's new homework is only to read for 30 minutes.She enjoys having more time for activities like painting and playing video games.But her mom misses last year's assignments.“The kids knew that once they finished those worksheets, they were done,” she says.“Sometimes, getting Dara to sit down and read for 30 minutes is a challenge.”
Around the country, primary schools are experimenting with a no-homework policy(政策).School leaders say the new policy is based on research.Studies have shown that homework does not improve grades or test scores in primary schools.Paula Fass is the author of The End of American Childhood.She says,“There's been controversy over homework ever since schooling became a requirement.” Support for homework has gone up and down through the years.More than a century later, many still question the role that homework should have in kids' lives.
Harris Cooper, a professor, has studied more than 50 researches on homework.In his view, homework has a positive effect on achievement.The effect gets larger as kids move through the grades.But even in the early grades, homework has a positive effect on simple skills.Examples include spelling and math facts.But he warns that homework can have a negative effect as well.“If there's too much of it or if it's too difficult, it can lead to frustration,” he says.“And that's not a good thing.”
Last year, Kelly Primary School in Holyoke, Massachusetts, eliminated(取消)homework.But this year, students in kindergarten through eighth grade have homework once again.But they receive only one assignment

per day.The headmaster explained that the school took a balanced way.“We want to build responsibility and structure,” she says.“But we don't want to take away the important time that children have with their families or practising sports.”
Kelly Primary School won't be the only school to experiment with the no-homework policy.“One thing you can know is that this is part of a long history of fight over homework,” says Fass.“And that can be expected to continue.”
13.What can we learn from the second paragraph? A.Dara enjoys reading for 30 minutes every day. B.Dara's mother prefers the traditional homework. C.Dara complained she had too much homework last year.
D.Dara's mother is happy that Dara has more time for free activities. 14.What does the word “controversy” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A.Doubt.
B.Challenge. C.Argument. D.Agreement.
15.Harris Cooper may agree . A.schools should eliminate homework B.higher graders should have more homework
C.homework can help lower graders with simple skills D.homework has no effect on test scores in primary schools 16.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A.Homework: Is It Necessary to Eliminate It? B.Homework: Its History and Great Changes
C.Homework: Is It Beneficial to Students' Achievement? D.Homework: Its Influences on Students and Their Families Ⅲ.阅读短文,根据短文回答问题
No summer beach vacation in the northeast U.S. state of Massachusetts is complete without an order of fried clams at a seaside restaurant. People enjoy eating the shellfish, which are dipped(蘸) in a mixture made from flour, water and spices and then cooked in hot oil. One restaurant known for its seafood is Nancy's on Martha's Vineyard.
Martha's Vineyard is a small island off the coast of Massachusetts. The U.S. President Barack Obama and his family like to visit Martha's Vineyard in the summer. The Obama family often eats at Nancy's during their vacations. It seems that one Obama has even started working at Nancy's this summer.
The Boston Herald newspaper first reported that Sasha Obama, the president's younger daughter has a
job there. She is 15 years old. The story says that Sasha Obama is helping the restaurant get ready for its lunch service each day. She is also bringing customers their food orders at a take-out window. She works for about four hours. Her last day is Saturday, when the rest of the Obama family arrives for vacation. One of the other workers at the restaurant said Sasha started working earlier in the week. She has been using her full name, Natasha, while on the job.
Many people followed the story on social media. “Sasha Obama” became a hot Twitter topic. One person wrote on Twitter: “Keeping it real.” Another added hashtag “Respect.” But a third person twittered that someone else who really needs the money should have the job. He said that Sasha Obama was only working because people would like the story.
The President's daughter does have a safe team looking out for her. But they have been waiting in a large car nearby while she works.
17.Is Martha's Vineyard the name of a restaurant?
