Homework:

how useful is

it?

Homework is an

(9)..-

part of school

life

in_{most countries around the}_world

(10)_,

there is

still

considerable debate _{among teachers about whether homework}_has_a_significant

educational value. On the one
side are those _{who claim that}_it_takes_{too much time away}_from

_(l

_l

)--

more useful activities. On the other

are those who see homework as reinforcing school lessons so that concepts

rvill

not be for_uotten. (12)
often neglected in this debate is_{the role of parental involvement} _and_{x'hether or not the}

child's home provides
support for effective homewor k. Parents in _{low-income families often do not}_have

the time to make homework 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. However, the (13}

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 intheir children's homework.

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 nup i'n 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 aftemoon coincides

with

a slight _{drop in body temperature. This}

drop occurs whether we have lunch or not.

A

midday nap

is apartof

the daily ioutine of many cultures,
especially those near the equator. This all seems to suggests that napping may have been

parttf

an ancient

biological signal to get us out of the hot midday sun.

Whatever the reason,

if

you have an opportunity for an _{afternoon nap, take one. Studies show that2Ominutes}

_of

sleep in the afternoon provides more rest _{than getting 20 minutes more sleep in the morning.}

_A

_{20-minute power}
nap provides the energy for a fresh burst of new ideas and energy. Naps seern _{to eliminate ihe}need for more
caffeine during the workday, and this lowers stress.

The do's and

don'ts

of napping

The early afternoon seems to be the best _{time to nap - approximately eight hours after you have woken up in the}

morning. Twenty to thirty minutes is all you need to get the

full

rewards of a midd

ay

nap. _{There is no proof that}

sleeping longer than

this

is any better; in fact, the opposite may be true.

In the dark, our brains produce more of the sleep-inducing hormon e melatonin so close the blinds, tum off the
lights, and consider using a _{sleeping mask. Keep the temperature on the warrner side.}_Don,t_{forget to turn}

_off

your cell phone. And avoid caffeine for a few hours before a nap. Give

it

a

try

for yourself, and-see

if

you aren,t

amazed at the results!

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}

_A

dikes both protectedihe piants against &cessive flooding and _{prevented the water}

from escaping too quickly once

it

had arrived. The

liopi

p.o-pt" designed _{their fields in}a _{checkerboard pattern,}

_if

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.

_Howevli,

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 afew years}

_{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 peop-ie _{turned to the ro"ar}

_wila

jants. If

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

wild

_{plants that might have suryived in the cooler atmosphere.}
