Homework: how useful is it?
Homework is an (25)_____ part of school life in most countries around the world. (26)_____, 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 (27)_____ more useful activities. On the other
are those who see homework as reinforcing school lessons so that concepts will not be forgotten. (28)_____
is often neglected in this debate is the role of parental involvement and whether or not the child's home provides
support for effective homework. 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 (29)_____ 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.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 17 to 21.
Japanese Girls' Day-also known as the Doll's Festival-is celebrated on March 3 to pray for the health and
happiness of young girls in Japan. Hinamatsuri, the name of the celebration in Japan, is marked by families
displaying a set of hina dolls in the house and serving special delicacies that are ceremonially beautiful and
delicious.
Traditionally, parents or grandparents of a newborn girl buy a set of hina dolls for the baby, unless they have
special dolls that are inherited from generation to generation. From the end of February to March 3, hina dolls
dressed in Japanese ancient costumes are displayed on tiered platforms that are covered with a red carpet.
The costumed dolls represent the imperial court of the Heian period (A.D. 794 to 1185) and feature the
emperor, empress, attendants, and musicians dressed in traditional garb.
The dolls are displayed hierarchically with the emperor and empress at the top, which are set in front of a
gilded screen representing the thrown. The number of dolls and their size vary from home to home, but five to
seven platforms are common.
It is customary to put the dolls away as soon as the festival is over-there is a superstition that if the dolls are
left out, a family will have trouble marrying off their daughters. After the festival, some people release paper
dolls into the rivers praying that this will send away sickness and bad fortune.
