it just makes them bookworms but nothing else. homework such as writing some things 5 times at home will just make them memorize things but not put them into use. i regret to say that teachers find it easy to bundle (归拢) the children with homework rather than making them get interested to understand what they learn. the same trend continues even in college. i find that most of the so-called high scorers are unable to answer simple things in an interview.sallyit is ok to give homework. but it should be given less. we are spending most of our time in school and at least we must be free in our home. if you give homework, we will be very tired and we wouldnt be able to pay attention to extra-curricular activities, which in turn may affect our physical and mental health. so please give less homework to us.johnson it is part of our work to give students homework. there will be some punishments if we wont do our work. so i have to do that though i know such a teacher is not liked by students.5. who thinks that too much homework may do harm to students physical and mental health?a. sunny.b. jane. c. sally. d. johnson.6. according to the last paragraph, why do teachers give students homework?a. because they care more about students metal health.b. because they find it easy to control students in this way.c. because they will be punished if they dont give homework.d. because they want students to get interested in their studies.7. what problem do the speakers talk about?a. whether students should be punished without doing homework.b. what kind of homework should be given to students.c. what role homework plays in helping students to learn.d. whether teachers should give homework to students.ca car needs gas to run and your body also needs food to work for you. eating the right kind of food is very important. it can help your body grow strong to take care of what you eat. there are four main food groups altogether. the dairy group has food like milk, cheese and sour milk. the other three groups are the meat and fish group, the fruit and vegetable group, and the bread and rice group. each meal should have at least one food from all four main groups. with all these food together, you will be given enough energy during the day. it is easy to get into bad eating habits. you may eat your breakfast in a hurry to get to school on time. or you may not have time for a good lunch. it may seem easy to finish your supper with fish and chips all the time. but you will find yourself tired in these days and you can not think quickly. watching what you eat will help keep your body healthy and strong. it is also good to take some exercise. it will help you eat more if you take a walk or play games in the open air. having a good eating habit with some exercise is the key to your health.8. which of the following is a good eating-habit?a. going to school without any breakfastb. eating fish and chips for supper all the time.c. having at least one food from all four groups each meal.d. having different food from all four food groups.9. in this passage the writer mainly tells us that _.a. every person needs food to grow wellb.taking exercise can keep your body strongc. the right kind of food with exercise will keep you healthyd. enough energy helps people think more quickly10. the underlined word “dairy” in the second passage means _.a. the food made out of cows such as milk and butterb. the shop that sells milk and butterc. a farm where cows are keptd. a place where milk products are made.dis there anything more important than health?
