Do Kids Need Homework?
School is a big part of life, not just for kids but for their families. There
are many reports and discussions about what’s best for students. Everyone has their
own opinions. And they don’t always agree.
Do kids need homework? It depends. Some readers from a famous magazine, think
that the extra(额外的)work reviews what they have learnt in class. And it also
helps teachers find where students need more help. Others say homework adds to
students’ stress and takes time away from exercise or learning something new. In
order to know what kind of homework kids should do and how much kids need, the magazine
interviewed several kids.
Karen, 9
Kids need homework. When they learn something new in school, reviewing it at
home helps them remember it. Our homework gives our teachers valuable information.
It tells them how much students are paying attention in class and who needs extra
help.
Michael, 9
In my opinion, giving students homework is a bad idea. After school kids need
experiences that build a healthy mind and body. Homework is not supposed to stress
kids out. When there is too much homework, students do poorly in homework. In fact,
doing homework poorly is worse than doing no homework. As long as students are working
hard in class, it’s best not to give them extra work.
Robert, 8
Kids need homework. But that depends. Middle and high school students can do
more homework. At my school, primary students get homework, but not too much. My
teacher might ask us to learn spelling words at home, and each week we’ll be given
a test.
Susan, 11
Kids don’t need homework. They’re learning for six hours a day at school.
Adding another hour of work for kids to do at home is just having them repeat what
they’ve been doing all day. Besides, homework takes time away from activities like
team sports. These are just as important as schoolwork, because they keep kids
active.
6. What did the magazine do about homework?
A. It had a discussion.
B. It did a report.
C. It made an
interview.
7. Who supports the idea of giving students homework?
A. Karen.
B. Michael.
C. Susan.
8. What will happen when homework is too much according to Paragraph 4?
A. Students will do no homework.
B. Students will do homework poorly.
C. Students will build a healthy mind and body.
9. What is Robert’s opinion about homework?
A. Primary students don’t need to do homework.
B. High school students can do more homework.
C. Homework just repeats what is learned in class.
10. What does “These” refer to(指代)in the last paragrapgh?
A. Kids.
team sports.
B. Subjects.
C. Activities like

On June 3, the United States Fish & Wildlife Service(USFWS)announced that it
would protect the tricolored bats. The animal would be listed under the Endangered
Species Act. This follows a similar announcement, made in March, to protect the
endangered northern long-eared bats. The two kinds of bats are in danger, mainly
because of an illness called white-nose syndrome(综合症).
“Bats play such an important role in keeping a healthy ecosystem.” USFWS
director Martha Williams said. “But white-nose syndrome is destroying bats.” she
added.
White-nose syndrome is caused by a fungus(真菌). It is known to influence only
bats, showing up on the animal’s nose and wings. The fungus grows in places that
are cold, dark, and wet, like caves. As it hurts a bat’s skin, the animal’s behavior
starts to change. The bat becomes more active than normal, wasting the energy it
needs to live.
Worldwide, there are more than 1, 400 kinds of bats. Most bats are insectivores,
which means they eat insects. In a single night, bats can eat insects of “up to
half their weight.” This is good news for farmers, since bats eat insects that harm
crops. According to the USFWS, the animals help U.S. farmers save more than $3 billion
a year in insect control.
Nowadays there is no treatment for white-nose syndrome. But scientists are
developing ways to help bats. A 2018 study found that a special light can kill the
fungus. Researchers are also testing a fungus-fighting thing that can be placed
around areas where bats live. And they’re working on a vaccine(疫苗). Local
villagers also provide suggestions. One example: set bat boxes. The USFWS says it
will announce a decision about how to list the tricolored bats by late 2023. A
decision about the northern long-eared bats is expected next month.
11. Why are the tricolored bats and the long-eared bats in danger?
A. Because of a special illness.
B. Because of their food.
C. Because of their living conditions.
12. How does the fungus kill a bat at last?
A. By changing a bat’s behavior.
B. By hurting a bat’s skin.
C. By wasting the energy a bat needs to live.
13. Why are bats helpful to farmers in the USA?
A. Because bats eat insects that harm crops.
B. Because there are more than 1, 400 kinds of bats.
C. Because bats cost them more than $3 billion each year.
14. What are the researchers doing to fight against the white-nose syndrome?
A. They are testing a special light.
B. They are working on a vaccine.
C. They are setting bat boxes.
15. What is the article mainly about?
A. A white-nose syndrome.
B. Kinds of bats.
C. Bats in danger.

Have you ever noticed plastic waste everywhere in your community? Dr. Aboubacar
Kampo has. He was living in Côte d’Ivoire, a country on the coast of West Africa,
where plastic is a big environmental problem, compared with water and air pollution.
Côte d’Ivoire’s biggest city, Abidjan, produces more than 300 tons of plastic
rubbish a day, and only about 5% is recycled. “How can we turn plastic into something
useful?” Kampo wondered.
So Kampo, who works for UNICEF, the United Nations Children’s Fund, googled,
researched, and then noticed a company in Colombia, a country in South America.
Plastic pollution is a problem there, too. Conceptos Plásticos, the Colombian
company that Kampo read about online, recycles plastic waste and turns it into big,
Lego-like bricks(砖)for building schools and houses.
Next, Kampo went to Colombia to learn about the company in person. He toured
