Homework should be done as soon as you get home from school. If you have after-school activities, the homework should be done first. At the same time, it is fine to allow（允许）for a snack break and also to allow for stretching(拉伸的)breaks.
Also, you should remember that it is your duty to do your homework. Next time, when you want to depend on(依靠) Mom and Dad for help, please try to find the answer yourself, because you will learn much, much more that way.
When you have a question, especially something about a science or math, don’t always turn to your teacher! It is a good idea to try to find the answer yourself. If this doesn’t work, you can also look at the materials in the back of the book. They may guide you to the pages you should look at to help you understand the problem.
Finally, while doing homework, don’t think about or do other things. Keep working. Setting a time limit(限制) often helps with this. Different ages decide different amounts of time. 10-15 minutes is good for a child that’s aged 6-8. A time of 20-30 minutes is about right for a child aged 9-12. Kids can keep studying for 30-45 minutes from the ages of 13 to 15. This, of course, depends on your abilities to pay attention and stay on tasks.

There are four girls. They go to school by car every day. Their parents drive them all to school.

One day, after the girls arrive at school, Angie says, “Let’s go to class an hour late. I don’t want to take the math test today.” The other three girls think it is a good idea, because they all don’t want to take the test. Angie says, “But our teacher will be angry if we come late. So we need a good excuse(借口).” “Oh, that’s easy,” says Susan. “ We just tell the teacher that my mother’s car has a flat tire(轮胎坏了). So we are late.” All the girls think it is a good excuse. When the girls arrive at the classroom an hour later, the math test is over. The teacher is very angry. “Why are you late?” asks the teacher. Susan says, “My mother’s car has a flat tire and we have to wait for her to repair it.” Then the teacher says, “Sit down, girls. Take out a piece of paper and a pen.

Have you heard of Chen Binqiang in Zhejiang Province? Over the past six years, he has taken care of his mother who got Alzheimer’s disease.

Chen’s mother, 64-year-old Chen Yueguang, has been ill since 2007. The illness became very serious quickly and she has lost the ability to speak and can not look after herself. None of Chen’s other family members, however, could take care of their sick mother. Chen’s father died in a traffic accident when he was eight, his two sisters married far away and his wife has a 92-year-old grandmother to look after. 

Chen taught Chinese in Central School of Lengshui town, which is about 30 kilometers away from his home in Pan’an. So he spent five days at school and only went home on weekends. When he said he would take his mother to work, even his wife was doubtful and worried. She really doesn’t think it is a good idea for him to take care of his mother in school. She worries what if he lost his job because of this.

But Chen has made the decision. Soon he was putting a safety hat onto his mother’s head and helping her sit on his electric bike’s back seat. He thinks that his mother used to take him around and now he should take her.

These days, things got a little easier for him. With the help of Pan’an government, Chen got a new job in Pan’an Middle School in October 2012. The new school is only five minutes’ ride from his home, which means he can take care of his mother more conveniently.

Chen feels happiest when his mother is looking at him. She must have forgotten who he is, and she even can’t call his name. But she surely knows that Chen is kind to her. He feels that is enough.

On February 19^th, 2013, Chen got the prize for Touching China, held by China Central Television to honor those whose performances have moved the people.
