In May 2001, I found a job in New York at the World Trade Center. On September 11, 2001, I arrived at my building at around 8:30 a.m. I was about to go up when I decided to get a coffee first. I went to my favorite coffee place even though it was two blocks east from my office. As I was waiting in line with other officer workers, I heard a loud sound. Before I could join the others outside to see what was going on, the first plane had already hit my office building. We stared in disbelief at the black smoke rising above the burning building. I felt lucky to be alive.

A public primary school in New York City has stopped giving its students homework.
P.S. 116 Principal Jane Hsu wrote a letter to parents last month, explaining that after more than a year of analyzing (分析) studies, the school had decided that students’ after-school time would be better spent on activities like reading at their own pace (步伐) and playing instead of working on homework.
Hsu’s letter says that many studies show that there is no connection between homework and academic (学业的) success. Some other studies also show that the connection between homework and success is dubious at the primary school level.
Harris Cooper, a social psychologist who researches education, found that doing homework makes students perform better in school as they grew older. In later grades, students who did homework performed increasingly better than students who did not. In 2006, Cooper published a study that analyzed 15 years’ worth of data on the influence of homework. He found that homework had a good influence on students as they aged.
Some parents are not happy with the decision to give up homework. “I think they should have homework. I want my daughter to have fun, but I also want her to be working towards a goal,” Daniel Tasman, the father of a second-grader at the school, said to the reporter.
“Students have to do homework in order to gain. Students have to do homework because they may not be able to understand everything in school,” Sharon Blake, a student’s grandmother told ABC news.
1. The passage is probably from a .
A. newspaper B. comedy C. cartoon D. novel
2. Jane Hsu wrote a letter to parents to explain .
A. how students should read at their own pace
B. what activities students could take at home
C. why the school gave up homework recently
D. how important the homework is for students
3. The word “dubious” in Paragraph 3 probably means “not ”.
A. clear B. public C. real D. special
4. What can we infer (推断) according to the passage?
A. Cooper found homework had a bad influence on students as they aged.
B. Some parents are worried about their children if there is no homework.
C. Some students are not happy with the decision to give up school homework.
D. Daniel Tasman wanted his daughter to have fun instead of working to a goal.
