21、For decades, the homework standard has been a "10-minute" rule, which suggests a daily maximum of 10 minutes of homework per grade level.
But some schools have begun to give their youngest students a break. A Massachusetts elementary school has announced a no-homework pilot（试点的）program for the coming school year, extending the school day by two hours to provide more in-class instruction. "We really want kids to go home at 4 o'clock, tired," Kelly Elementary School Principal Jackie Glasheen said. "We want them to enjoy their families. We want them to go to soccer practice or football practice."
New solutions to homework differ by community. These local debates aren't easily understood by the fact that even education experts disagree about what's best for kids.
The most all-round research on homework so far comes from an analysis（分析）by Duke University professor Harris Cooper, who found evidence（证据）of a positive relationship between homework and student achievement, meaning students who did homework performed better in school. Cooper's analysis focused on how homework influences test scores. The relationship was stronger for older students-in 7th through 12th grade-than for those in younger grades, for whom there was a weak relationship between homework and performance.
Although there is the weak relationship between homework and performance for young children, Cooper argues that a small amount of homework is useful for all students. Second-graders should not be doing two hours of homework each night, he said, but they also shouldn't be doing no homework.
However, Cathy Vatterott, an education professor at the University Missouri-St. Louis, thinks there is not enough evidence that homework is helpful for students in elementary school, "Relationship is not a cause," she said "Does homework cause achievement, or do high achievers do more homework?" Vatterott thinks there should be more stress on improving the quality of homework tasks, and she supports efforts to ban homework for younger kids.

A．No homework.

C．"10-minute" homework.

【2】Who can perform better according to Cooper's analysis?
A．Younger students in all grades with no homework.
B．Younger students in lower grades with no homework.
C．Older students in lower grades with more homework.
D．Older students in higher grades with more homework.
【3】What's the writer's attitude towards "10-minute" homework?
A．Positive.
B．Negative.
C．Unknown.
D．Doubtful.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A．Is homework good for students?

23、On a farm in England, Gavin and Alice Munro are taking sustainability to the next level: they harvest trees which they grow into chairs.
The couple have a furniture（家具）farm in Derbyshire where they are growing 250 chairs, 100 lamps and 550 tables. It is their answer to what they see as the inefficient（无效率的）process of cutting down mature trees to create furniture.
"Instead of force-growing a tree for 50 years and then cutting it down and making it into smaller and smaller bits…the idea is to grow the tree into the shape that you want directly. It’s like a kind of 3D printing, "said Gavin.
Part of the inspiration for the idea came when Gavin was a young boy. He spotted an overgrown bonsai tree（盆栽） which looked like chair.
The 44-year-old began experimenting in 2006. In 2012, Gavin and Alice set up the company Full Grown. Within several years, the couple developed the most effective way to shape a tree without limiting its growth. They guided shoots（嫩枝）already heading in the right direction, rather than force them the wrong way against their natural growth.
The average chair takes six to nine years to grow-and another year to dry out. The labor and time involved in producing the organic pieces means they do not come cheap. Chairs sell for ￡10,000 each, lamps for ￡900 to ￡2,300 and tables for ￡2,500 to ￡12,500.
【1】How could the couple grow trees into a shape they needed?
A．They used 3D printing.
B．They limited their growth.
C．They forced trees into different shapes.
D．They guided their shoots in the right direction.
【2】When did Gavin get the idea of growing furniture?
A．When he was a child.
B．When they got married.
C．When they bought the farm.
D．When they began experimenting in 2006.
【3】Which can best describe the furniture?
A．Big and eco-friendly.
B．Natural but expensive.
C．Hand-made and creative.
D．Traditional but organic.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A．A Couple Grow Furniture
B．Expensive Grown Chairs
C．It’s A Good Try Of Sustainability
D．Grown Trees Gain Popularity
24、 Less, A Minimalist Living Guide: How to Declutter, Organize, and Simplify Your Life.
Thanks to a travel-inspired revelation(启发), Jay has been happily living a simpler life for 12years. "I always packed as lightly as possible, and found it exciting to get by with just a small carry-on bag," she told CNN. "I thought if it feels this great to travel lightly, how amazing would it be to live this way? I wanted to have that same feeling of freedom in my everyday life."
Jay decided to get rid of all her excess (额外的) possessions and live with just the essentials (必需品). "I wanted to spend my time and energy on experiences, rather than things."
Jay is a follower of a movement called "minimalism (极简主义)". Growing numbers of people have been attracted to this lifestyle all over the world. They share the same feeling of disappointment with modem life and a desire to live more simply. Minimalists are typically progressive and concerned about the environment, Leah Watkins, a lead researcher at Otago University in New Zealand, told Stuff magazine in March.
But many simply experienced unhappiness caused by owning too many possessions. Depression with the materialism of our world isn't new. English romantic poet William Wordsworth summed up how dispiriting (令人消沉的) this was back in 1802, at the beginning of the industrial age, when he wrote: "Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers". His preference was to go back to nature. Closer to our own times, the hippies (嬉皮士) of the 1960s also sought to “drop out” of modern life.
And for many minimalists, their key is to unload. Without objects, they "believe people are forced more and more into the present moment and that's where life happens," wrote Stuff.
But does simplicity ever feel like a sacrifice (牺牲)?
"It's eliminating the excess-unused items, unnecessary purchases-from your life. Well, I may have fewer possessions, but I have more space …Minimalism is making room for what matters most, " said Jay.
And "the real questions", according to Duane Elgin, US social scientist, are "what do you care about? " and "What do you value?"
He told CNN: "It's important for people to realize minimalism isn't simply the amount of stuff we consume. It's about our families, our work. our connection with the larger world, our spiritual dimension. It's about how we touch the whole world. It's a way of life. "
【1】What inspired Francine Jay to live a simple life?
A.A book she came across.
B.Her desire to keep up with modem life.
C.The pleasure she enjoyed from traveling lightly.
D.A follower of minimalism she met on a trip.
【2】According to Leah Watkins, a typical minimalist tends to___.
a. be fed up with materialism
b. like saving and visiting nature often
c. be angry about his or her current life
d. be environmentally friendly and live with fewer things
A.a, b B.a, d C.a, b, c D.b, c, d
【3】The underlined word "eliminating" in Paragraph 8 probably means___.
A.removing B.distinguishing C.accepting D.improving
【4】Which of the following would Duane Elgin probably agree with?
A.Minimalism is a healthy lifestyle that is in conflict with modem life.
B.Minimalism limits people's freedom to enjoy their lives to the fullest.
C.Minimalism enables people to reflect on what truly counts in their lives.
D.Minimalism means people have to sacrifice some pleasure to live simply.
25、One month ago, my daughter started kindergarten. As usual, I wished her success. I was telling a lie. What I actually wish for her is __________. I believe in the power of failure.
Success is __________ in a sense. Success is proving that you can do something that you already know you can do, or doing something correctly the first time, which can __________ be a problematic victory. First-time success is usually a fluke (侥幸). First-time failure, ________, is expected; it is the natural order of things.
Failure is how we learn. I have been told of an African phrase __________ a good cook as “she who has broken many pots”. If you have spent enough time in the __________ to have broken a lot of pots, probably you know a fair amount about __________. I once had a late dinner with a group of chefs, and they spent time ________ knife wounds and burn scars. They knew how much credibility (可信度) their __________ gave them.
I earn my __________ by writing a daily newspaper column. Each week I am __________ that one column is going to be the worst column of the week. I don’t just set out to write it; I try my best every day. __________, every week, one column is inferior (较差的) to the others, sometimes extremely so.
I have learned to __________ that column. A successful column usually means that I am treading (踏) on __________ ground, going with tricks that work, or dressing up popular ideas in fancy words. Often in my inferior columns, I am trying to __________ something I’ve never done before, something that I’m not even sure can be done.
My daughter is a perfectionist. She will feel her failures, and I will want to __________ her. But I will also, I hope, __________ her of what she learned, and how she can do __________ next time. I probably won’t tell her that failure is a good thing, because that’s not a(n) __________ you can learn when you’re five. I hope I can tell her, though, that it’s not the end of the world.
