Unit 3 单元拓展阅读训练 2023—2024学年 牛津上海版（试用本） 英语九年级下册
一、阅读理解
A study in 2021 found that only 20% of teachers thought that homework and marking were necessary for learning. Many parents think homework interrupts (阻碍) family life and causes stress to everyone, when probably the time would be better spent relaxing together.
There is not much evidence (证据) that homework helps primary school pupils—although some studies show it leads to better results at high school.
Since 2012, it has been left up to headteachers to decide whether their students should be given homework, and how much. What do you think---does homework help you learn or should be left at school
① to have homework 1. You spend enough time studying at school—evenings and weekends should be for doing hobbies and relaxing with family. 2. Homework can be stressful for busy families. It can cause arguments and even put young people off learning. 3.Having to mark everyone’s homework just gives teachers more to do, which is unfair when they already work hard during the day. ② to have homework 1. Homework means you can go over what you have learnt in class so that you know it really well and do better in your exams. It also means more topics can be covered during term time. 2. It teaches you to work on your own and to be disciplined and organized, which are good skills for life. 3. Homework allows your parents to know your education, find out how you are doing and support you.

Zengzi, also called Zeng Shen, became a good student of Confucius (孔子) when he was 16.
Early one morning, Zengzi’s wife left for the market. Her little son wanted to go with her. But he was too young and the market was too far.
Then she cheated her son, “I will be back soon. You stay at home and wait for me. If you do as I say, I will kill a pig and make a nice dish for you.” The child went back to the house happily.
When Zengzi’s wife got back from the market, she showed no sign of killing a pig. So Zengzi himself prepared to do that, but his wife rushed to prevent him and said, “Don’t do that. I just cheated the child.”
“Honesty is the most important thing,” Zengzi said. “Children are like blank pieces of paper. They understand nothing but they can learn from their parents’ actions. Because you have cheated your son, he won’t trust you anymore. In the future he will cheat others.”
Hearing her husband’s words, Zengzi’s wife regretted cheating the child. So she wanted to keep her word. She joined Zengzi in killing the pig, and cooked nice dishes for the child. While eating, the boy was happy and thankful to his parents.
One evening, when the child went to bed, he suddenly got up and ran outside. Zengzi asked him where he was going. The boy replied, “I promised I was going to return a toy to a friend today.

四、根据以下内容回答问题。
A lot of students from different countries are talking about how schools and parents connect now. Here is a part of their talks.
In my school, parent-school communication is mostly done through emails. This lets parents know what is happening at their child’s school. To improve parent-teacher communication, Parent Breakfasts are organized at the beginning of the school year, and it enables parents to meet the head teacher and subject teachers of their child this year. Parent Evenings also take place each term to let parents know their child’s progress in school. There is not a parent committee ( 委员会) at my school but parents can be part of the Friends group. They can help organize school events. Peter from America At my school, parents and teachers keep in touch in many ways. One of them is the Parent-Teacher Association (PTA). The PTA is a voluntary organization that brings parents and teachers together to discuss and deal with problems with school education. The PTA usually meets once or twice a term and lets parents know their children’s teachers better. Another way of communication is through parent-teacher meetings. They let parents and teachers meet face-to-face to discuss a student’s progress and performance. Lily from China
Communications go both ways here, allowing both the school and parents to discuss concerns or ask questions. These meetings are planned one-on-one for privacy. They serve to avoid making students or parents feel uncomfortable if the school needs to talk about certain problems, such as a student’s performance. While meetings can be planned at any time, the most common are the end-of-term reports. Each term has 8-10 weeks for students to attend school. Their teachers use the information collected to provide feedback to families in about 10-15 minutes. Students often attend these meetings, too. Jack from Australia

34．What activities are organized in Peter’s school to improve parent-teacher communication
35．How often does the PTA bring parents and teachers together
36．Why are some meetings planned for one-on-one for privacy

South Korea
In South Korea, men between the ages of 20 and 30 must serve in the army (服役). They usually serve for two years. Children also have military training in primary school. They have different kinds of activities, such as hiking and walking through mountains at night. Sometimes, the activities are very hard. For example, students need to exercise in the snow with no shirts on.
The US
US schools don’t ask students to do military training. If children take an interest in the military, they can join military camps. The government also holds activities for children to experience military life. Children learn how to work in a team and work out hard problems themselves. For example, a group has to climb over a high wall. If even one person falls down, the whole group needs to do it again. So everyone must help each other and finish the task together.
Russia
In Russia, boys between the ages of 15 and 16 have to take part in a five-day military training program. They learn skills like shooting (射击), parachute jumping (跳伞) and cooking outside. Students also learn military history. Recently, Russia has encouraged all schoolchildren from 14 to 18 to try military training.

There is some information about subjects, time arranging, marks and textbooks. At the same time, you must choose the teachers. Different teachers have different teaching methods. If a teacher is called killer by the last grade, many students will give up choosing him, because this kind of teacher will give too much homework, too many exams and too low grades. There is another thing after you select the subjects and teachers. How to buy textbooks makes each student feel hard. The textbooks in America are very expensive. Each one is about $30-$50. In order to save money, many students buy some used textbooks, and some students usually borrow textbooks from the school library.

Wang said only six or seven students in his class raise their hands when a question is asked. “I think it’s a problem that may affect (影响) our studies, but I am afraid of making mistakes in front of my classmates.” he said.
When we asked the teacher, Hu Wei, why the students didn’t raise their hands, he said, “They lack (缺乏) of confidence, they are afraid of showing off, or they’re afraid of losing face by giving wrong answers.”
To encourage students to raise their hands in class, Hu suggests that teachers should repeat the question, then try to guide and encourage students to offer their answers. ①Hu also advised students not to be shy, but brave enough to try.
