Homework:

how useful is it?

Homework is an

(1)_

part of school

life

in most countries around the world.

(2)-,

there is

still

considerable debate among teachers about rvhether homework has a significant educational value. On the one
side are those who claim that it takes too much time away from

(3)_

more useful activities. On the other are

those who see homeu,ork as reinforcing school lessons so that concepts

u'ill

not be forgotten. (4)

-is

often
neglected in this debate is the role of parental involvement and rvhether or not the child's home provides support
foreffective home*,ork. Parents in lorv-income families often do not have the time to make homeu'ork a

priority

or are not able to afford a computer or additional books. Whatever money they have goes on the basic necessities
of life-accommodation, food, clothing and heating. Horvever, the

(5)_

that only middle-class parents

support their children's education is quite obviously wrong. Not all well-to-do parents give the support they
should, and some parents

living

in the most impoverished circumstances imaginable find the time and energy to
involve themselves in their children's homework.

Many people feel a mid-afternoon slump in mood and alertness. Many people believe that this slump is caused by
eating a heavy lunch, or by getting a poor night's sleep the night before. In fact, this slump occurs naturally

because humans were meant to have a mid-afternoon nap.

Thomas Edison, Winston Churchill, Albert Einstein, and

Bill

Clinton are all famous fans of napping - and

with

good reason. Various evidence, including the universal tendency of toddlers and the elderly to nap in the
afternoon, and the afternoon nap of siesta cultures, have led many scientists to the same conclusion: nature tells

us to take a nap in the middle of the day. Short periods of sleep have been shown to improve alertness, memory

and motor skills, decision-making, and mood - all while cutting down on stress, carelessness, and even heart

disease.

Our biological urge to sleep in the middle of the afternoon coincides

with

a slight drop in body temperature. This
drop occurs whether we have lunch or not.

A

midday nap

is

daily routine of many cultures,

In past centuries' Native Americans

living

in the arid areas _{of what is now the southwestern}

_united

States relies
on a variety of strategies to ensure the success-of their _{agriculture. First and foremost, water was the}

critical
factor' The soil was rich because _{there was}

_little

_{rain to ieach.out the minerals, but the}

low precipitation caused its
own problems' Long periods of _{drought could have made}_ag.i"uttu.e

_{irpo.riir"fon}

the other hand, a sudden

flood could just as _{easily have destroj,ed}_a_crop.

Several techniques were developed to _{solve the water problem. The simplest was to plant crops in the floodplains}
and wait for the annual floods to water the young crops.

A

less. _{dangerous technique was}_{to build}

dikes or dams to
control the flooding' _{These dikes both proticted-the plants against}

&cessive nooaing and _{prevented the water}

from escaping too quickly once it had amived.

with

many small dikes, each enclosing only one or two stalks

of

maize (corn), while other groups

built

a series

of

dams to control the floods.

A

third technique was to dig irrigation ditches to bring water from rivers. Water was
sometimes carried to the fields in jars, particularly

if

the season was dry. Some crops were planted where they
could be watered directly by the runoff from

cliff

walls.

Another strategy Native Americans used to ensure a continuous food supply was to plant their crops in more than

one place, hoping that

if

one crop failed, another would survive. However, since the soil was rich and not easily

exhausted, the same patch of ground could be cultivated year after year, whereas in the woodlands of the eastern

United States it was necessary to abandon a plot of ground after a few years of farming. In the Southwest, often
two successive crops were planted each year.

It

was a common southwestern practice to grow enough food so that some could be dried and stored for

emergencies.

If

emergency supplies ran low, the people turned to the local

wild

plants.

If

these failed, they moved
up into the mountains to gather the

wild

plants that might have survived in the cooler atmosphere.
