Section B (10 marks) Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage. Many articles and reports over the past few decades have suggested America’s schools are overloading (使超负荷) kids with more and more homework. But a new study by Brookings’ Brown Center on Education Policy shows the opposite: today, students’ homework loads haven’t changed over the past 30 years. The study’s author, Tom Loveless, reviewed surveys taken by kids and parents on how much homework young students have. The results showed that the elementary student usually has 30-45 minutes of homework each night. The average high-school student has about an hour. These numbers have remained the same since 1984.
