七、任务型阅读，每空一词（本大题共5分，每小题1分）

As you know，homework is a big part of going to school．Luckily，here are several suggestions for you to make homework easy．

Make a homework plan

Most middle school students have two or three hours of homework a night．If it is a heavy homework day，you may need to spend even more time．It is a good idea to come up with some kind of homework schedule（进度表），especially if you are going to do sports or other activities after school．

Watch where you work

A bedroom，study or any room where you can get away from noise is good for you to do your homework．But don’t study on your comfortable bed，or you might fall asleep there．

Take a break

Most people’s attention （注意力） don’t last very long，so take some breaks while doing your homework．Sitting for too long without relaxing will make you less productive（多产的）than if you stop to take a break regularly．Taking a 15﹣minute break every hour is a good way for most people．

Get help when you need it

Sometimes even though you are listening carefully in class，some subjects seem too hard．The first person to ask for help is your teacher．He or she may be able to work with you before or after school and explain things more clearly．Your classmates may also be able to give you a hand．However，this might not give you the results you want．Lots of people understand something well but are not able to explain it．
