In fact, he has turned his recycling money into something bigger.The Ringgold, Georgia native visits local churches and businesses to collect paper, which he brings to a recycling center for money. But instead of putting those earnings in his own bank account, he sends every dollar to Georgia Baptist Childrens Homes & Family Ministries. Once a year, hell give the organization a check somewhere between $ 10，000 and $ 35，000. By 2016, that tallied up to $ 400，000.These days, Jennings recycling has turned into a community effort.

And then came the argumentsnot from teachers, but from parents. Some said they would transfer their children to another school. Some said they were finding online sources of homework for their children. They were not convinced of the explanation from Principal Jane Hsu about the negative effects of homework on young children, including lack of time for other activities and family time, and loss of interest in learning. Hsu suggested children should spend their time on activities that had been found to be good for their academic, social and emotional development.As a supporter of Hsus approach, I wonder how many of the parental arguments occur not because of what children will miss out on, but because parents themselves no longer feel confident about their ability to help their children develop without highly structured activities to guide them.Im reminded of a meeting at the school my younger daughter was about to start when she was 6. The head of the school met with parents to say that she was also considering doing away with homework. One mom objected because homework was her “special time” each day with her child when they could sit down together to go through the work. The head of the school appeared surprised at this. She gently suggested that the mother should read to her child, or that they should cook dinner together.Its been sad already to see that kids, between their structured soccer practices and their homework, have very little time to play. But its even sadder to see the parental nervousness about what might happen to a thirdgrader who has more time to create, think, read，interact with others, or imagine. What might happen, I believe, must be more happiness, more energy and better physical fitness.【解題導語】曼哈頓的一位校長通知家長她的學校將不再給學生布置家庭作業(yè)，此舉在家長中引發(fā)了激烈的討論。作者本人對這位校長的方法表示支持，并持樂觀的態(tài)度。8From the passage, we know_Ateachers are strongly opposed to giving no homework to their studentsBthe idea of no homework has led to a heated debateCchildren greatly benefit from the idea of no homeworkDother activities have taken the place of the homework B解析：細節(jié)理解題。由第一段中的“And then came the argumentsnot from teachers, but from parents.”可知，不再布置家庭作業(yè)的做法在家長中引起了激烈的討論，故選B項。9Why did one mom object to the idea of no homework for kids?AHer child might lose interest in learning.BHer child might have less time to think.CShe enjoyed the time doing homework with her child.DHomework is good for childrens academic development.C解析：細節(jié)理解題。由第三段中的“One mom objected.go through the work.”可知，與孩子一塊兒做作業(yè)對這位母親來說是件讓她高興的事，所以她反對取消家庭作業(yè)這一想法，故選C。10What is the authors attitude towards Principal Jane Hsus suggestion?AIndifferent.BPositive.CNegative.
