Homework will not be a concern for pupils attending a pioneering new secondary school in Norfolk. Instead, the 1,100 children will stay longer at school, doing extra study at school as part of the extended school day, which could last until about 5 pm.
Rather than setting homework that pupils could struggle with at home, where there may be limited access to computers, they will do that as independent study in the day. When they go home they should enjoy quality family time. That has been really well received by parents who respect the fact that family time will be family time. But the school would still expect youngsters to study at home ahead of important exams.
Independent learning at school would ensure equality because kids who get help with homework from parents might rely on others too much.
Peter Devonish , a teacher at the school, said, “Having the children at school a bit longer to strengthen their learning is a really good idea, because they can have their time with the family.” But he warned. “A disadvantage is that our school is in the countryside, which means it’s not so perfect to get children home at that time.”
Mr. Devonish said they also set pupils project-based homework, such as looking at an energy-efficient house, which allowed them to combine independent study with working with their parents.
Craig Morrison, another teacher, said, “A large problem with homework has been that not enough is done with it. With homework, a lot of effort can go into it, so it’s about celebrating what children do rather than processing it in terms of marking it and handing it back.”
1.How will students spend their longer days at school?
A. They will do homework on computers.
B. They will study all by themselves.
C. They will have fun with teachers.
D. They will prepare for exams.
2.Why is the new idea well accepted by some parents?
A. Because it helps kids with their homework.
B. Because kids will be educated well at school.
C. Because kids will enjoy quality family time.
D. Because parents can have more time to rest.
3.What is Mr. Devonish worried about?
A. The students may get home late.
B. No staff would like to stay till 5 pm.
C. More teachers will be needed.
D. The students may dislike the idea.
4.The passage is mainly about _______ .
A. teachers who are asked to stay at school longer
B. a school where children stay longer for homework
C. homework which students have to deal with
D. students who like spending time with teachers

You may be surprised to see “making sure children never suffer” as a mistake. The following ____ may help you understand how rescuing children from all suffering ____ weakness.
A little boy felt sorry for a butterfly struggling to emerge from its chrysalis(蛹). He decided to ____ the butterfly. So he peeled(剥开) the chrysalis open for the butterfly. The little boy was so ___ to watch the butterfly spread its ____ and fly off into the sky. Then he was horrified ____ he watched the butterfly fall to the ground and die because it did not have the muscle ___ to keep flying. In fact, the butterfly’s struggle to ____ the chrysalis helps the butterfly become stronger.
Like the little boy, ____ too often want to protect their children from struggle in the ____ of love. They don’t realize that their children need to struggle, to experience ____, to deal with disappointment, and to solve their own problems. Only in this way can children ____ their emotional strength, become ____ and develop the skills necessary for the even bigger struggles they will meet throughout their lives. Children experiencing sufferings can ____ the ups and downs of life.
However, it isn’t helpful either in this case when parents ____ blame and shame to what the child is experiencing. Mothers ____ to say, “Stop crying and acting like a spoiled boy. You can’t always get what you want.” These ____ words should be avoided.
Instead, parents can offer loving support. You can say, “Don’t lose ____. Be brave! You will succeed if you try again.” Then comes the tough part — no ____ and no lectures.

Dear Mrs.Winthop，
So my first week at college is over! No lectures this morning so I think I'd email you and let you know what things are going.
I'm glad to say that anything has worked out fine in the dorm.I remember asking for a room as far away from the lifts as possible and they find me a comfortable one on second floor. There are two girls from my course here and I plan to make friend with them so that we can help each other on the course work. Everyone else seems very nice and warmly here. Well，I had better to stop now. I'm going to attend mine first lesson this afternoon, for I've got some preparation to make. Keep in touch.
Best，
Carol
