2004年1月 It’s an annual back?to?school routine. One morning you wave goodbye, and that 71 evening you’re burning the late?night oil in sympathy. In the race to improve educational standards, 72 are throwing the books at kids. 73 elementary school students are complaining of homework 74. What’s a well?meaning parent to do? As hard as 75 may be, sit back and chill, experts advise. Though you’ve got to get them to do it, 76 helping too much, or even examining 77 too carefully, you may keep them 78 doing it by themselves. “I wouldn’t advise a parent to check every 79 assignment,” says psychologist John Rosemond, author of Ending the Tough Homework. “There’s a 80 of appreciation for trial and error. Let your children 81 the grade they deserve.” Many experts believe parents should gently look over the work of younger children and ask them to rethink their 82. But “you don’t want them to feel it has to be 83,” she says. That’s not to say parents should 84 homework—first, they should monitor how much homework their kids 85. Thirty minutes a day in the early elementary years and an hour in 86 four, five, and six is standard, says Rosemond. For junior?high students it should be “ 87 more than an hour and a half,” and two for high?school students. If your child 88 has more homework than this, you may want to check 89 other parents and then talk to the teacher about 90 assignment. 71.A.very B. exactC. rightD. usual 72.A.officials B. parentsC. expertsD. schools 73.A.Also B.
