Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each
of the questions that follow.
You can do a few things to make homework less stressful. First, be sure you understand the assignment.
Write it down in your notebook or day planner if you need to, and don't be afraid to ask questions about
what is expected. It is much easier to take a minute to ask the teacher during or after class than to struggle
to remember later that night! If you want, you can also ask how long the particular homework assignment
should take to complete so you can plan your time.
Second, use any extra time you have in school to work on your homework. Many schools have libraries
that are specifically designed to allow students to study or get homework done. The more work you can
get done in school, the less you will have to do that night.
Third, pace yourself. If you don't finish your homework during school, think about how much you have
left and what else going on that day, and then plan your time. Most middle students should have between
1 and 3 hours of homework a night. If it is a heavy homework day, you will need to devote more time to
homework.
No one is expected to understand everything, and maybe you need some help. The first place to turn for
help is your teacher. But if you don't feel comfortable with your teacher? If you are in a big enough
school, there may be other teachers who teach the same subject. Speak to other teachers directly and you
may be in luck. Sometimes it just helps to have someone explain something in a different way. Moreover,
you might also be able to get some help from another student. If there is someone you like who is a good
student, think about asking that person if you can study together.

B. Students can do their homework in school libraries.
