There are many arguments in favor of homework, and most teachers would agree with many, if not all, of the following: homework is a perfect opportunity to go over calmly what was d

10、one with the teacher, and rethink and develop that initial input; homework offers a moment for students to work as individuals and develop learner self-governance outside the classroom; students and parents expect homework to be set and to be corrected. Nevertheless, the drawbacks that homework may

11、have are often overlooked.There are two key issues which need to be raised when dealing with the concept of homework. Firstly, there is the question of home. Often homework is not done at home at all, but at a friends house, on the street, on the bus on the way to class or sitting on the step outsid

12、e school before it opens. Whats more, all too often, for it to be done effectively at home, homework requires the participation and involvement of other adults. Parents play a crucial role in a childs education, but they can t always be available, for a number of very valid reasons, and a tutors abi

13、lity to aid, guide, encourage and simply organize a son or daughter s study may be limited in many ways. The implication are unsetting: if homework is crucial to success in class, some children have an automatic disability.Considering the second part of the compound noun opens up further questions.

14、If the idea of home can be problematic, so too can the concept of work. Again, this will depend enormously on the context but, very often there is a lot of work put in. Demands on their time and attention span(持续时间)and all sorts of other impositions mean homework is usually something to get out of t

15、he way, to be ticked off as done, with the exercises completed as fast as possible. It is not always seen as useful times spent developing and strengthening what is done in class but, rather, as something quickly finished to keep the teacher at bay. It might be correct or not, copied from a friend o

16、r cut and pasted from the internet, but the important thing is that a teacher sees the exercise completed and, as a result, the task achieved: how much effort went into that result is not always appreciated or easy to evaluate and, even when work clearly falls below standard, and the mere fact of it

17、s having been done is often good enough. Teacher and students are happy because everyone has officially fulfilled their commitment.The ideal that students go home, think back to what they did with their teacher, use the great resources their books and the internet provide to revise, reflect and put

18、everything they have seen in class in place, into action, into practice, does not often happen with some students.4Which of the following is not among the advantages of homework according to paragraph 1?ASolidifying the knowledge and skills learnt in class.BDeveloping the ability of the independent

But too much light at other times may actually cause such mood disorders. Long-lasting exposure to light at night

23、 brings depression, a new study finds, at least in animals. The new data confirm observations from studies of people who work night shifts, says Richard Stevens of the University of Connecticut Health Center. Mood disorders join a growing list of problems, including cancer, obesity and diabetes - th

24、at can occur when light throws life out of balance by disturbing the biological clock and its timing of daily rhythms.In the new study, Tracy Bedrosian and Randy Nelson of Ohio State University exposed mice to normal light and dark cycles for four weeks. For the next four weeks, half of the mice rem

25、ained on this schedule, and the rest received continuous dim light throughout their night. Compared with mice exposed to normal nighttime darkness, those getting dim light at night lost their strong preference for sweet drinks, “A sign they no longer get pleasure out of activities they once enjoyed.

26、” Bedrosian says.In a second test, mice were clocked on how long they actively tried to escape a pool of water. Those exposed to night lights stopped struggling and just floated in the water, a sign of behavioral despair”, 10 times as long as the mice that had experienced normal nighttime darkness.

27、All symptoms of depression disappeared within two weeks of the mice returning to a normal light- dark cycle, the researchers report. The scientists also could quash the behavioral symptoms by injecting the brains of animals with a drug that prohibits the activity of certain molecules linked with hum

This finding further suggests that light at night may cause something related to depression.Human studies linking nighttime light and mood disorders are important but cant easily detect molecular underpinings (分子基础)as animal studies can，says George Brainard of Thomas Jefferson Univers

The new work, he says, suggests that the change of the biological clock by light at night can be “an extremely powerful force in regulating biology and behavior.8After being exposed to continuous nighttime light, the mice_Achanged their preferencesBescaped from the water more eagerlyCremained a

32、ght.There was something in the elderly womans behavior that caught my eye. Although slow and unsure of step, the woman moved with deliberation, and there was no hesitation in her gestures. She was as good as anyone else, her movements suggested. And she had a job to do.The elderly woman had walked i

33、nto the store along with a younger woman who I guessed was her daughter. The daughter was displaying a serious case of impatience, rolling her eyes, huffing and sighing, checking her watch every few seconds. If she had possessed a belt, her mother would have been fastened to it as a means of draggin

34、g her along to keep step with the rush of other shoppers.The older woman detached from the younger one and began to glance over the DVDs on the nearest shelf. After the slightest hesitation, I walked over and asked if I could help her find something. The woman smiled up at me and showed me a title s

35、crawled(潦草地写) on a crumpled piece of paper. The title was unusual and a bit unfamiliar. Clearly a person looking for it knew a little about movies, about quality.Rather than rushing off to locate the DVD for the woman, I asked her to walk with me so I could show her where she could find it. Looking

36、back, I think I wanted to enjoy her company for a moment. Something about her deliberate movements reminded me of my own mother, whod passed away the previous Christmas.As we walked along the back of the store, I narrated its floor plan: old television shows, action movies, cartoons, science fiction

37、. The woman seemed glad of the unrushed company and casual conversation.We found the movie, and I complimented her on her choice. She smiled and told me it was one shed enjoyed when she was her sons age and that she hoped he would enjoy it as much as she had. Maybe, she said with a hint of eagerness

38、, he could enjoy it with his own young children. Then, reluctantly, I had to return the elderly woman to her keeper, who was still tapping her foot at the front of the store.I accompanied the older woman to the queue at the cash register and then stepped back and lingered near the younger woman. Whe

39、n the older womans turn in line came, she paid in cash, counting out the dollars and coins with the same sureness shed displayed earlier .12What does she had a job to do (Para. 1) mean according to the context?AShe had a regular job in the store.BShe wanted to ask for help.CShe wanted to buy a DVDDS

40、he was thinking of what to buy.13What does the title of the DVD reveal according to the shop assistant?AThe elderly woman had some knowledge about movies.BThe elderly woman liked movies for young children.CThe elderly woman preferred movies her son liked.DThe elderly woman liked both old and new mov

But seeking friends and keeping the friendship going are never e

43、asy.According to research recently published in the Journal of Social and Personal Relationships, the key is to use we-talk. Led by University of California psychologist Megan Robins and her colleagues, the researchers reviewed and analyzed 30 different studies involving over 5, 000 participants._16

44、_The word we moves people from an individual position into a partnership, which makes us more interdependent. “_17_ Word use is a window into what people are thinking and feeling without asking them. Robbins told Science Daily._18_ The primary point is that interdependence may bring about supportive

45、 and relationship-centered behaviors and positive perceptions of the partner-especially important in times of stress and disagreement.Contrary to we-talk, there is I-talk, which refers to the frequent use of the first-person singular pronouns, such as I, me and mine, when writing or speaking. Earlie

46、r this year, researchers analyzed a set of data that came from 47, 000 people in Germany and the US._19_ As you can see from the two studies, too much I-talk can make you feel depressed. But we-talk can encourage you to become more positive and create a chain effect of healthy interdependence with o
