8．The pickle jar（泡菜坛），as I can remember，sat beside the dresser in my parents'bedroom．When ready for bed，Dad would toss any coins in his pockets into the jar．As they dropped，they landed with a merry jingle．
Whenever the jar was full，Dad would roll up the coins．Every time he slid the box of rolled coins across the counter at the bank toward the cashier，he would smile proudly and say，"All for my son's college．"
We would always celebrate each deposit by stopping for an ice cream cone．Dad would show me the coins in his change，saying"When we get home，we'll start filling the jar again．"He always let me drop the first coins into the empty jar．"You might have to get to college on loose change，"he said．"But you'll get there．"
As years passed，I went to college，got married and took a job．
Once，while visiting my parents，I noticed the jar was gone．It had served its purpose．My dad was a man of few words and never lectured me on the values of determination，perseverance or faith．The jar had taught me those far better than the most flowery of words could have done．
Soon，my daughter Jessica was born．We spent Christmas that year with my parents．After dinner，Mom and Dad sat next to each other，taking turns holding their first grandchild．When Jessica began crying，my wife Susan took her from Dad's arms to put her in my parents'room．
Susan came back，tears in her eyes and led me into the room．"Look，"she said softly．To my amazement，there，next to the dresser，stood the old pickle jar，as if never removed，the bottom already covered with coins．I walked over to it，dug down into my pocket，and pulled out several coins．Choked by emotion，I dropped them into the jar．
Dad had slipped quietly into the room when I looked up．Our eyes locked，but neither of us spoke，because we knew nothing had to be said．

13．How important is homework？According to the Los Angeles Unified School District （LAUSD），it's not that important!The district has made a big change for the 2013-2014 academic school year．Starting July 1，homework will count for only 10% of a student's academic grade．
The district hopes the limit on homework will allow students to spend less time struggling with large am ounts of work and more time on hobbies and with their families．Besides，the policy states，"by limiting the weight of homework toward a student's grade，a truer picture of the student's knowledge will be reflected in the achievement grade．"
The new policy doesn't remove homework．It states that homework is an opportunity for students to practice their skills and a tool for students to prepare for upcoming lessons．Still，L．A．Unified is joining a growing list of school districts that have set limits on the amount of homework that students receive．
Exactly how much time kids should spend on homework is a topic for debate．Harris Cooper，a professor at Duke University，says that the right amount of homework time is ten minutes per day multiplied by the student's grade．This means a third grader should spend 30 minutes per day on homework．And a sixth grader would spend 60 minutes．Five years ago，Cooper wrote about his views in TFK．"Good homework assignments in the proper amount will have positive effects，"he wrote．"Bad homework assignments，or too much homework，will have negative effects．"
Critics of the new L．A．district policy say that homework is an important part of learning．They say many kids just won't put in the effort if homework doesn't count toward their grade．Pro-homeworkteachers argue that students who do their homework perform better on tests and in school than those who do not．They fear that the new policy will enc ourage students to neglect homework assignments．

26．In the 2013-2014 academic school year the students in LAUSD willB．
A．work harder on their lessons
B．have much less homework to do
C．be able to do whatever they like
D．spend more time on homework
27．We can learn from Paragraph 3 thatD．
A．homework is of no use at all
B．studnets should do more homework
C．students all are happy to do homework
D．more school districts limit homework
28．If you are a student of fifth grade，the proper amount of homework isAminutes．
A.50 B.30 C.60 D.10
29．Pro-homework teachers probably refer to thoseB．
A．that suggest reducing the amount of homework
B．that think homework is helpful to the students
C．that insist increasing the students'homework
D．that are good at encouraging the students
30．What does this passage mainly talk about？D
A．Culture．B．Science．C．Politics．D．Education．
