5.Spending more than two hours a night doing homework leads to better results in English,math and science,according to a major study (by Pam Sammons,England) which has tracked (跟蹤)the progress of 3,000children over the past 15years.
Spending any time doing homework showed advantages,but the influence was greater for the students who put in two to three hours a night,according to the study published by the Department for Education in England.
The scientists who did the research say their study emphasizes (強(qiáng)調(diào))what students actually do rather than how much work the school has set.
Pam Sammons,a professor of education at Oxford University,said that time spent on homework showed the influence of the school-if children were expected to do homework and if
they enjoy their subjects."That's one of the reasons Indian and Chinese children do better.They put more time in it."he added.
It's also reported that students who enjoyed school got better results."Schools could make sure children had a better experience by improving the school environment,making school work interesting and making children feel supported by teachers."Sammons said.
It is suggested that children aged 5to 7should be set one-hour homework a week,half an hour a night for 7to 11-year-olds.Secondary schools were encouraged to set up two hours a night for 14to 16-year-olds.
"Headteachers should make their own homework policy,"the government says.

"When I was a small child,"Zhao said,"I knew March 5th was a day for people to learn from Lei Feng and help others,but I didn't know the real meaning of the spirit(精神) of Lei Feng.Now when I see the smiling faces of the kids I have helped,I deeply understand Lei Feng.Helping others makes me happy.,'

On March 5th,1963,Chairman Mao called on people to"Learn from Lei Feng"and made the day"Lei Feng Day".
Today almost 50years has pissed since Lei Feng's death.Some people say that the spirit of Lei Feng is out.There have been many reports about the coldness(冷漠)of people towards strangers.This has made many Chinese people think deeply about themselves.
Many people think We need to promote(提倡) that spirit again.The important thing is that we must be ready to help others and make it a habit.

14.Sports can help you keep fit and close to nature.However,whether you are on the mountains,in the waves,or on the grassland,you should realize that sport you choose might have great influence on the environment.
Some sports are resource-hungry.Golf,as you may know,eats up not only large areas of countryside,but also lots of water.Besides,huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses (球場) in good condition.This causes major environmental changes.For example,in the dry places of Portugal and Spain,golf is often held responsible for (為…承擔(dān)責(zé)任) serious water shortage(短缺) in some local areas.
There are many environment-friendly sports.Power walking is one of them that you could take up today.You don't need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes,and you don't have to worry about resources and your purse.Simple and free,power walking can also help you stay healthy.If you walk regularly,it will be good for your heart.Experts say that 20minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious,sleep well and keep thin.
Whatever sport you take up,you can make it greener than by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials.But the final goal should be"green gyms."They are better replacements(替代) for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers.Members of green gyms play sports outdoors,in the countryside or other open spaces.There is no=special requirement for you to start your membership(會員身份).And best of all,it's free.
64、Which of following does the author most probably support according to the passage?A
A.Bicycling around the lake.
B.Car racing on the road.
C.Playing basketball in a gym.
D.Swimming in a sports center.
65、What does the phrase"resource-hungry"in this passage mean in Chinese?D
A.廣為流行的      B.親近自然的    C.低成本的    D.耗費資源的
66、The author uses power walking as an example mainly becauseC.
A.it is an outdoor sport.
B.it is loved by many people.
C.it uses fewer recourses.
