7、k your answers on ANSWERSHEET 1.（40 points） Text 1 Homework has never been terribly popular with students and even many parents, but in recent years it has been particularly scorned. School districts across the country, most recently Los Angeles Unified, are revising their thinking on his educationa

8、l ritual. Unfortunately, L.A. Unified has produced an inflexible policy which mandates that with the exception of some advanced courses,homework may no longer count for more than 10% of a students academic grade. This rule is meant to address the difficulty that students from impoverished or chaotic

9、 homes might have in completing their homework. But the policy is unclear and contradictory. Certainly, no homework should be assigned that students cannot do without expensive equipment. But if the district is essentially giving a pass to students who do not do their homework because of complicated

10、 family lives, itis going riskily close to the implication that standards need to be lowered for poor children. District administrators say that homework will still be a pat of schooling:teachers areallowed to assign as much of it as they want. But with homework counting for nomore than 10% of their

11、 grades, students can easily skip half their homework andsee vey little difference on their report cards. Some students might do well onstate tests without completing their homework, but what about the students whoperformed well on the tests and did their homework? It is quite possible that the home

12、work helped. Yet rather than empowering teachers to find what worksbest for their students, the policy imposes a flat, across-the-board rule. At the same time, the policy addresses none of the truly thorny questions abouthomework. If the district finds homework to be unimportant to its students acad

13、emic achievement, it should move to reduce or eliminate the assignments,not make them count for almost nothing. Conversely, if homework does nothing toensure that the homework students are not assigning more than they are willingto review and correct. The homework rules should be put on hold while t

14、he school board, which is responsiblefor setting educational policy, looks into the matter and conducts publichearings. It is not too late for L.A. Unified to do homework right. 21.It is implied in paragraph 1 that nowadays homework_. Ais receiving more criticism Bis no longer an educational ritual

19、though it may celebrategirlhood in one way, it also repeatedly and firmly fuses girls identity toappearance.

It was not until the mid-1980s, whenamplifying age and sex differences became a dominant childrens marketingstrategy, that pink fully came into its own, when it b
