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: (A) 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).

Do students in the United States receive too much homework? 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 (B)  grader, 20 minutes, and so on. This means that a student in my grade—seventh—should have no more than 70 minutes of work (C) 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.

Everybody (D)  that teachers are the ones who assign homework, but they are not the only ones to blame (受責備). “Many teachers are under greater pressure (壓力) than ever before,” says Kylene Beers, President of the National Council for teachers of English, “Some of  (E) 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 (F) 今后找到更好的工作. But too much homework is sapping students’ strength, curiosity（削弱學生的個性和好奇心), and most importantly, their love of learning, is that really what teachers and parents want?

1.寫出文中劃線部分（A）和（C）的同義詞或近義詞:                          

2.在文中（B）和（D）的空白處分別填入適當單詞:                          

3.文中劃線部分（E）指代的是:               

4.將文中劃線部分（F）譯成漢語:             

5.從文中找出能說明本文主旨大意的中心詞:

1.learn; every

2.second; knows

3.pressure

4.getting a better job in the future
