The Department of Education in the state of Attra recommends that high school students be assigned homework every day. Yet a recent statewide survey of high school math and science teachers calls the usefulness of daily homework into question. In the district of Sanlee, 86 percent of the teachers reported assigning homework three to five times a week, whereas in the district of Marlee, less than 25 percent of the teachers reported assigning homework three to five times a week. Yet the students in Marlee earn better grades overall and are less likely to be required to repeat a year of school than are the students in Sanlee. Therefore, all teachers in our high schools should assign homework no more than twice a week, if at all.

"Most people choose a career on the basis of such pragmatic considerations as the needs of the economy, the relative ease of finding a job, and the salary they can expect to make. Hardly anyone is free to choose a career based on his or her natural talents or interest in a particular kind of work."

The following appeared in a memo from the mayor of the town of West Egg. "Two years ago, our consultants predicted that West Egg's landfill, which is used for garbage disposal, would be completely filled within five years. During the past two years, however, town residents have been recycling twice as much aluminum and paper as they did in previous years. Next month the amount of material recycled should further increase, since charges for garbage pickup will double. Furthermore, over ninety percent of the respondents to a recent survey said that they would do more recycling in the future. Because of our residents' strong commitment to recycling, the available space in our landfill should last for considerably longer than predicted." 两年前,我们的顾问预言West Egg用于投放垃圾的填埋地将在五年内完全充满。然而在过去两年间,市民对于铝和纸张的循环再生的数量比以前翻了一番。由于垃圾收集的收费在下个月将会加倍,循环再生的材料数量将进一步增加。而且,最近一次调查超过90%的回应者表示他们将会在未来做更多的循环再生工作。由于居民对循环再生的有力支持,我们填埋地可利用空间的使用时间将比预期的长得多。

A:159.The nation of Claria covers a vast physical area. But despite wide
geographic differences, many citizens are experiencing rising costs of
electricity. A recent study of household electric costs in Claria found
that families who cooled their houses with fans alone spent more on
electricity than did families using air conditioners alone for cooling.
However, those households that reported using both fans and air
conditioners spent less on electricity than those households that used
either fans or air conditioners alone. Thus, the citizens of Claria should
follow the study's recommendation and use both air conditioners and fans
in order to save money on electricity.
