Homework

Do maths problems 15 through 25. State the different forms of the verbs on page 50 of your French workbook. Read pages 12 through 20 of the Shakespeare play, and don’t forget to fill in the missing chemical symbols on the worksheet.

Sound like a list of your homework for the next few nights — or maybe even just for tonight? 【1】It’s your teachers’ way of evaluating how much you understand what’s going on in class. And it helps strengthen important concepts. Here are some tips on how to do your homework.

【2】It’s inviting to start with the easy things to get them out of the way. However, you’ll have the most energy and focus when you begin, so it’s best to use this mental power on the subjects that are most challenging. Later, when you’re more tired, you can focus on the simpler things. If you get stuck on a problem, try to figure it out as well as you can — but don’t spend too much time on it because this can mess up your homework schedule for the rest of the night. 【3】But don’t pick someone whom you’ll be up all night chatting with, or you’ll never get it done!

Most people’s attention spans aren’t very long, so take some breaks while doing your homework. Sitting for too long without relaxing will make you less productive than if you stop every so often. Taking a 15-minute break every hour is a good idea for most people.【4】

Once your homework is done, you can check over it if you have extra time. Be sure to put it safely away in your backpack—there’s nothing worse than having a completed assignment that you can’t find the next morning or that gets ruined by a careless brother or sister. 【5】Now you’re free to hang out.A. Luckily, you can do a few things to do less homework.

B. Homework is a major part of going to school.C. No one is expected to stay long, and people have very different learning styles.

D. If you need to, ask an adult for help or call or email a classmate for advice.

E. But if you’re really concentrating, wait until it's a good time to stop.F. And no teacher still believes that “chewed by the dog” line—even when it's true!

G. When you start your homework, deal with the hardest tasks first.

【答案】

【2】G

【3】D

【4】E

【5】F

【解析】本文就如何完成家庭作业提出了一些建议。

【1】考查上下文的理解判断能力。后句中的it代指B选项中的homework。句意：家庭作业是上学的主要部分。故B选项符合要求。

【2】考查上下文的理解判断能力。根据后句so it's best to use this mental power on the subjects that are most challenging可知，本段主要是建议学生们先从最难的作业着手。故选G。

【3】考查上下文的理解判断能力。后句由转折连词but连接，并提到不要找一个整晚聊不完的人讨论作业。故前句应该是说可以求助于某些人。故选D。

【4】考查上下文的理解判断能力。前一句说“对于大部分人来说每小时休息15分钟是好的”，而且本段主要讲休息，只有E项“但是如果你能真正地集中精神，那么也可以等到一个合适的时间再休息。”与休息有关，故选E。

【5】考查上下文的理解判断能力。本段主要讲要预防其他一些意外事情给作业带来的破坏。故F“没有老师会相信我的作业被狗嚼了这样的话，即便是真的时候”符合本段内容。故选F。
