I. Read the passage carefully and then choose the best answer.
There are more and more challenges for school children today
at their early age. For example elementary pupils have to work
harder to finish many types of homework. Teachers and parents can
help them in many ways. Teachers should be more ready to give
timely comments and feedbacks to encourage their pupils. At home,
parents also need to care more about the place and time for their
children to do homework. There should be enough space to work
comfortably, good light, and no distractions such as television or
phone calls.
Taking tests is another challenge for school children. Some
parents worry that their children will become stressed over the tests.
However, teachers can help them prepare more carefully for the
tests and be more confident to pass them. Teachers try to make sure
that the pupils really enjoy the experience, so that they are able to do
their best. Parents can help by not taking them too seriously. The
more relaxed parents are, the better children can perform in the
tests.
1. Which of the following is used as an example to show how hard
children have to study today?
A. They have to finish a lot of homework.
B. They have to neglect many types of homework.
C. They have to get good marks.
