In July 2017, families in Marion County, Florida, got surprising news about the coming school year. Traditional homework will disappear, at least for primary students.

Last year, Dara, a fifth grader, had two or three hours of homework a night.“I had 12 math questions and six or seven pages of work to do for reading,” she said.Now Dara's new homework is only to read for 30 minutes.She enjoys having more time for activities like painting and playing video games.But her mom misses last year's assignments.“The kids knew that once they finished those worksheets, they were done,” she says.“Sometimes, getting Dara to sit down and read for 30 minutes is a challenge.”

Around the country, primary schools are experimenting with a no-homework policy(政策).School leaders say the new policy is based on research.Studies have shown that homework does not improve grades or test scores in primary schools.Paula Fass is the author of The End of American Childhood.She says,“There's been controversy over homework ever since schooling became a requirement.” Support for homework has gone up and down through the years.More than a century later, many still question the role that homework should have in kids' lives.

Harris Cooper, a professor, has studied more than 50 researches on homework.In his view, homework has a positive effect on achievement.The effect gets larger as kids move through the grades.But even in the early grades, homework has a positive effect on simple skills.Examples include spelling and math facts.But he warns that homework can have a negative effect as well.“If there's too much of it or if it's too difficult, it can lead to frustration,” he says.“And that's not a good thing.”

Last year, Kelly Primary School in Holyoke, Massachusetts, eliminated(取消)homework.But this year, students in kindergarten through eighth grade have homework once again.But they receive only one assignment

per day.The headmaster explained that the school took a balanced way.“We want to build responsibility and structure,” she says.“But we don't want to take away the important time that children have with their families or practising sports.”

Kelly Primary School won't be the only school to experiment with the no-homework policy.“One thing you can know is that this is part of a long history of fight over homework,” says Fass.“And that can be expected to continue.”

13.What can we learn from the second paragraph? A.Dara enjoys reading for 30 minutes every day. B.Dara's mother prefers the traditional homework. C.Dara complained she had too much homework last year.

D.Dara's mother is happy that Dara has more time for free activities. 14.What does the word “controversy” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A.Doubt.

B.Challenge. C.Argument. D.Agreement.

15.Harris Cooper may agree . A.schools should eliminate homework B.higher graders should have more homework

C.homework can help lower graders with simple skills D.homework has no effect on test scores in primary schools 16.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
