Many people now think that teachers give pupils too much homework. They say that it is  36    for children to work at home in their free time.   37   , they argue that most teachers do not    38    plan the homework tasks they give to pupils. The result is that pupils have to    39   tasks which they have already done at school.

Recently in Greece, many parents    40    about the difficult homework which teachers gave to their children. The parents said that most of the homework was a waste of time, and they wanted to    41    it. Spain and Turkey are two countries which stopped homework recently. In Denmark, Germany and several other countries in Europe, teachers cannot    42    homework at weekends. In Holland, teachers allow pupils to stay at school to do their homework. The children are    43    to help one another. Similar    44    also exists in some British schools.

Most people agree that homework is not    45   . A pupil who can do his homework in a quiet and    46    room is in a much better position than a pupil who does his homework in a small, noisy room with the television on. Some parents help their children with their homework. Other parents take no    47    at all in their children’s homework.

 A friend of mine was sitting in the living room one day when his cat dragged in a little “gift” in its mouth—a dead animal of some sort. Taking a closer look, he was surprised to  36  it as the bunny(小兔子) that  37  Mary, the young daughter of the family next door. My friend felt  38  , believing his cat had killed Mary’s bunny.

My quick-thinking friend came up with a plan.  39   from the cat’s mouth the dead animal, which by now was a     40  mess, he put it in the kitchen sink. With a little warm water and some shampoo, he tried to  41  the dead bunny as best he could. Then he took a hair dryer and blowdried the bunny  42  it looked pretty good.

Finally, under the cover of darkness, he crept into the next-door garden and placed it  43  in the cage. He managed to make the bunny look very  44  there in his little box.

The next morning, my friend looked out of the window and noticed a crowd of people  45  around the rabbit hutch(笼). Everyone seemed to be talking and pointing. My friend  46  to go over and act like any normal  47  neighbor and find out what was going on.

Meat and vegetables are measured in grams and kilograms. Milk and other liquid foods are measured in liters or milliliters. These units only measure quantity: they do not measure the value of the food to the body. The unit which measures the quality or value of food is the calorie the amount of heat given off by food when it brurns. This measurement tells how much energy a certain food has when it is completely used by the body.
