According to a recent report, kids in primary school spend about six hours every week doing their homework.. So kids hate homework. However, their parents hate homework, too.

Is it good for kids to do homework? Of course, a great number of researches do show that kids can remember what they have learnt in class better by finishing their homework on time and homework itself plays an important role in developing their learning shills, such as independent thinking and creativity.

But for parents, the result is not the same. After a day of hard work, most of them feel like they’re going through school a second time when they sit down with their children each night to help with their homework. And a recent survey found that 46 percent of parents feel like they don’t spend enough quality time with their children, because they spend too much time doing the housework or helping with homework. And another 29 percent of parents have arguments with their kids often when they have different answers to the same question.

Now several education scientists strongly advise parents to stop helping. They say it will give their kids more independence and give parents back their free time. At the same time, the number of homework – connected arguments will be less at home. Katy Smith, an education scientist, says, “ You don’t have to know everything. Children need to put their hands up for help and so do parents. Use your resources – online teachers, or even your neighborhood – just ask.”

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been in the news a lot lately. And according to a recent report from the McKinsey Global Institute, about half of today’s work activities could be automated(自动化的) by 2055. Could “teaching” be on that list?

The teacher in the classroom is a human model. When a human teacher is able to show the advantages of learning, learners are more likely to be inspired to work harder and make progress. Even AI with advance technology can’t do this.

So, the chances are that your job is safe for the near future. But it is going to change, and robots will join us quite soon, as teaching assistants.

Recently, a Georgia Tech professor has used an AI teaching assistant in his classroom, which allows him to more effectively manage over 400 students. His AI teaching assistant helps him answer more routine questions, freeing him to deal with some complex problems which are difficult to solve from students.

AI is also being used in South Korea and Japan to help with language learning. Students can go through any variety of conversational practices, and AI can correct mistakes in usage and pronunciation. In fact, research shows that these programs can help solve problems like shyness and frustration(挫败) that can appear when children practice repetitively with a teacher. After all, a robot will not get tired or annoyed no matter how many mistakes a child makes.

This will be the future of AI in the classroom. Should you start packing up your desk? Absolutely not. The bottom line is that these technologies work best when paired with an active human teacher. But it certainly could make your job easier and more efficient.

1.What is the second paragraph mainly about?

A.The present teaching conditions.

B.The advantage of human teachers.

C.The purpose of using an AI teaching technology.

2.What does underlined word “complex” means in Chinese?

A.复杂的 B.普遍的 C.完整的

3.In what way is a robot better than a human teacher?

A.It is more patient. B.It is more creative. C.It is more convenient.

4.Who is the passage probably written for?

A.Students. B.Teachers. C.Parents.

5.Which can be the best title for the passage?

A.What will teachers be like in the future?

B.The benefit of using teaching assistants.

C.Could AI take the place of human teachers?

Kids in primary schools in Bellaire, Ohio, US have something to sing about. For the past several years, public primary schools in that town didn't offer music classes. They didn't have the money to pay for them. But now they have got the money to bring back music.

Many school officials (行政官员) across the US say music classes get students excited about going to school. Also, studies have shown that music classes may boost brainpower (促进脑力). For example, researchers from the University of Southern California did a study. They found that the brains of 10 and11-year-olds who learned to play a musical instrument developed faster than the brains of kids who didn't.

Though most people aren't opposed to teaching music in schools, not everyone says it's necessary. Many school teachers say that learning music means less time spent on maths, writing and science, all of which may be more useful to students later in life. Here's what two kids think.

Music should be taught in school for the simple reason that it makes learning more fun. We have music classes at my school, and I love them! In 2018, a research company called Grunwald Associates did a survey (调查) on music education. More than 60% of parents whose kids took music classes in school said their child is more focused (专注的).

Noah

At my school, we don't have music classes. I think that's OK because it gives us more time to focus on main subjects, like reading and maths. It's more important to learn these subjects than it is to learn how to play a musical instrument. If someone wants to take music classes, he or she can do it outside of school. I take piano classes after school, so it doesn't take time away from my other classes.

Sophia

1.Paragraph 2 uses an example to show that________.

A. students in the US like going to school

B. students in the US like taking music classes

C. music classes are good for students' brain development

D. 10 and 11-year-olds learn to play musical instruments faster

2.What do the underlined words "opposed to" in Paragraph 3 mean in Chinese?

A. 理解 B. 精通 C. 研究 D. 反对

3.Which of the following does Noah probably agree with?

A. Music adds fun to learning. B. Schools should do music research.

C. Music is useful to students later in life. D. Schools should make music classes simple.

4.What can we learn about Sophia?

A. She hates reading and maths. B. She thinks it is boring to play the piano.

C. She goes home immediately after school. D. She studies in a school without music class

Do you dream of having a sister or brother？According to the recent CCTV news report，China has relaxed its one­child policy (政策) to two­child policy. The government has allowed families to have two children.

Tencent did a survey last week about the two­child policy. On the one hand，up to 53% of parents say they are willing to have a second child. “I am excited about hearing the news. To have two kids means the children can look after each other in the future. Not only can they have a partner to play with，but they can also learn to help one another. This helps them to develop a better personality. I think I won't miss the chance to own a second kid，” says Li Mei，a mother of a 5­year­old daughter from Shanghai.

On the other hand，about 40% of parents say they may not have a second child. One reason is that they are afraid that the child's everyday expenses (费用) and education would be a big problem. They couldn't afford them. “I think the policy itself is pretty good，but I don't think it interests me. I won't consider a second child. Everything is very expensive at present，and I find it very difficult to raise another child，” says Han Dong from Chongqing，who has just had a boy.

Though people have different opinions，they agree that China has made great progress already in the two­child policy.

1.China has relaxed its two­child policy to one­child policy.

2.According the survey, up to 53% of parents say they are willing to have a second child.

A recent report by the American Heart Association—an organization that encourages adults and kids to stay healthy—found that today’s kids are 15 percent less healthy than kids from years ago. What does that mean? Let’s say you’re a 12-year-old girl. You’re not a sports superstar, but you’re pretty good. Let’s say your mother was at the same kind of kid when she was at your age. Now imagine we could set up a mile race between you and your mother from 30 years ago. The study shows your mother would probably beat you in the race by 90 seconds. It was the same for boys. An average boy from 30 years ago would beat an average boy today.

The scientists who did the study think there are some reasons for the big fall in fitness. First, too many of today’s kids are overweight(超重的), which makes it harder for them to run fast. Second, kids today don’t get enough exercise. Doctors say kids should get at least 60 minutes of exercise a day. That’s why it is important for schools to have P.E. classes.

So what should kids do? If you don’t want your parents to think they are faster than you, don’t spend a lot of time playing video games, watching TV or movies. Instead, do things that will get you to move.

1.What did the report find?

______________________________

2.Would an average boy from 30 years ago beat an average boy today?

阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。

A teacher from a Western country has recently visited a primary school in an eastern country. In one class, she watched sixty young children as they learned to draw a cat. The teacher drew a big circle on the blackboard, and the sixty students copied it on their paper. The teacher drew a smaller circle on the top of the first circle and then put another two even smaller circles on top of it. The children drew in the same way. The lesson went on until there were sixty-one similar cats in the classroom. Each student’s cat looked exactly like the one on the board.

The visiting teacher was greatly surprised because the teaching methods were very different from that in her own country. A children’s art lesson in her own country produced a roomful of different pictures. What makes this difference? In a classroom in any country, a teacher teaches not only knowledge of history or language.

In some countries such as the United States and Canada, people think highly of individualism – the differences between people. The teachers think it very important to make each student different from others. Students are asked to work by themselves and find answers themselves. The students are helped to learn to have their own ideas even at an early age.

But in countries such as China and Japan, people think highly of group goals rather than individualism. Students in China and Japan often work together and help each other in the classroom. The teachers teach and the students listen. The students are asked to memorize a lot. They have to learn the same textbook. They do the same homework and give the same answers.

Each educational system has its own advantages. For example, the Japanese students learn more maths and science than American students by the end of high school. The advantage of the educational system in America is that students learn to think by themselves. The teaching method makes them be more creative.

1.Are the young children learning to draw a dog?

2.How many students are there in the classroom?

3.Why was the visiting teacher greatly surprised?

4.What do people think highly of in the United States?

5.What does the writer want to tell us?

Violence (暴力) at schools has been widely reported in recent years. Hitting, slapping (打耳光) and burning others with cigarettes－the violence among teenagers has drawn public and government attention. On Nov 11, the government published a guideline (指导意见) on dealing with school violence.

The guideline stressed that students with serious behaviour problems should be taken to special schools. Or, in more serious cases, they may take criminal responsibility (刑事责任) and be sent to prison.

China has long been considered as too soft on teen offenders (犯事者), according to the People website. Criminal responsibility begins at the age of 14. Offenders under the age of 16 do not face serious punishment unless they do eight types of “serious” crimes such as murder.

This might partly explain why junior middle school students are the most common offenders in school violence cases. It’s reported that they take up 33.96 percent of the total while high school students take up 22.64 percent.

“What also shocked us is how cruel (残忍的) some young offenders can be,” said Shi Weizhong.

In school violence cases in Beijing during the last five years, 14 percent of the offenders not only beat others, but also insulted (侮辱) them. They slapped others, made them kneel down (下跪), and in some cases took off other people’s clothes.

“The common tolerant (容忍的) attitude toward violence should be changed,” wrote Jiaxing Daily. “When teenagers do something wrong, we should tolerate and help them when necessary. But all of this has a limit.”

1.What is the guideline about?

A. How to deal with school violence.　　 B. How students improve in studies.

C. How students get along with each other.　　 D. How to make students behave well.

2.Who should be criminally responsible?

A. An 11-year-old.　　 B. A 12-year-old.

C. A 13-year-old.　　 D. A 14-year-old.

3.Junior middle school students are the most common offenders in school violence cases possibly because ____.

A. there are not many special schools in China

B. China has been too soft on teen offenders

C. teachers in junior middle schools are not strict with them

D. they know less on laws than high school students do

4.What does the underlined word “shocked” mean in Paragraph 5?

A. excited　　 B. interested　　 C. pleased　　 D. surprised

5.Which of the following is Jiaxing Daily’s opinion?

A. We’d better patiently teach young offenders.

B. Young people need to learn to be tolerant.

C. We should tolerate school violence but there is a limit.

D. Teenagers should not do anything wrong.
