阅读下列短文，从所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
Many educators believe that homework is most effective for children in first through third grades when it does not go beyond 20 minutes each school day. From fourth through sixth grades, many educators suggest from 20 to 40 minutes a school day for most students. For students in 7th - through 9th - grades, generally, up to 2 hours a school day is suitable. Ninety minutes to 2 1/2 hours per night are proper for grades 10 through 12．Amounts that vary from these guidelines are fine for some students.
A common mistake, particularly among beginning teachers, is to assign too much homework. It can be hard to stop doing so if parents push for more homework and suppose that the best teachers assign the most homework. (This is not necessarily the case. ) Most often, however, a math teacher can tell after checking five algebraic equations (代数方程) whether students have mastered the necessary concepts.
As Ms. Bennett explains, “Homework should not be overburdening. If there's too much, it becomes drudgery. We need to keep [students'] attention - keep them inspired and wanting to do the homework. Otherwise, it's no good.”
Teachers also need to coordinate (协调) their homework assignments with those of other teachers so that students aren't getting four assignments on a Tuesday night, but no assignments on a Wednesday night. This coordination most often requires leadership and support from the principal or other administrators(管理者).
Finally, teachers need to keep watchful to how long students take to complete assignments. It is natural in a class full of varied students for some to take longer than others. Moreover, it is fine that some students do take longer, since research shows that students with low test scores who spend considerable time on homework get grades as good as students with more ability who spend less time. If an assignment takes too long, however, this may signal that a student needs more instruction to complete it successfully.
1．Which of the following assignment is not proper according to most educators?
[ ]
A．15 minutes' homework for a second - grade pupil.
B．Half an hour's homework for a fifth - grade pupil.
C．At least 2 hours' homework for a ninth - grade student.
D．About 2 hours' homework for a tenth - grade student.
2．In the writer's opinion, ________.
[ ]
A．the more homework a teacher assigns, the better he is
B．a good teacher is one who cares more for his students' health than their studies
C．whether a teacher is good or not depends on the amount of homework he assigns
D．a good teacher knows how much practice his students need for certain knowledge
3．The ward “drudgery” in the third paragraph most probably means “________”.
[ ]
A．hard boring work
B．unnecessary work
C．meaningless work
D．important but uninteresting work
4．The principal or other administrators are necessary ________.
[ ]
A．in helping the teachers know what homework they should assign
B．in helping each teacher assign homework at the right time
C．to ensure that the students have the proper amount of homework each day
D．to make sure that the students will finish all the homework every day

20．What does the speaker suggest to us?
A．Having a rest for twenty minutes．
B．Taking some Vitamins B1 and B2．
C．Doing sports during the break．
听力原文：(Text 11)
W：There are many ways in which the memory can be improved．In fact, I believe we all have the ability to remember up to six times more than we do．
A lot of people find that visualizing information is very helpful．For example, if you are trying to remember a telephone number, imagine it written down on a piece of paper．
Remembering people’s names is a problem for a lot of people．I recommend that when you are introduced to someone you concentrate on his or her first name．It probably won’t offend anyone if you have to say, “What was your last name again, Sarah?” but Sarah might be upset if you forget her first name．
Of course, regular breaks are important and it’s better not to work for long periods without taking one, stopping for rest about every twenty minutes is best．
Finally, take care of yourself physically．Avoid substances like coffee, alcohol or drugs, because they dull the mind．And don’t forget your vitamins－B1 and B2 are particularly good for the memory．
