a. because parents can make a lot of friends online.b. because parents can help their children with their schoolwork. c. because parents can know their childrens learning at school. d. because parents can keep up with social development. 65.in which column of a newspaper will you probably find the text?a. sports.b. finance.c. technology.d. educationpart four writingsection a（共5小题；每小题 1分，满分5分）请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格不超过3个单词。请将答案写在答题纸上相应题号的横线上。homework is an important part of education. however, what is it about homework? what makes it important?first, homework helps students learn. homework produces higher learning ability by asking the student to read the same text many times. most of the time, homework will ask students to read other books. so children have to read and understand it by themselves. sometimes, parents must help children with this type of learning. children hope to use what they have read to solve questions and problems in the homework. good use of homework makes children know that learning can happen with or without the teacher.as homework is finished, students learn to work out their own problems. most students need a little help now and then, but doing homework is a way that children can learn to take care of themselves. if the student can do his or her own work, it is likely the ability he gets will be good for their future life.most homework gives room for additional(额外的) learning. short answers, long answers and papers provide a way for students to learn things that interest them. science can give the student a chance to go deeper into a field and have a better understanding. these things are almost impossible within the classroom education. if the project is done by a group, the students will also learn cooperation(合作).good study skills students get from homework and test preparation can be used easily in most work places.title: 66_benefitsways67_make students repeat the same text.develop thinking abilitymake students read other books.help students t
