四、阅读理解
A primary school in Jinhua,Zhejiang Province has announced it no longer requires parents to sign their children’s homework,which is aimed at getting parents to supervise(监督) their children after school.The China Youth Daily comments:Putting an end to the requirement that parents sign off on the homework of their children eases the burden on many parents,as otherwise they would have to do primary school homework after a hard day’s work.But there are worries that if parents stop having to sign off on their children’s homework,the children will not get good grades.
However,the most effective way for children to study is to develop their willingness to learn and do their own studies.When doing homework,students practise and hopefully apply what they have learned.It is true that teachers are supposed to check students’ homework and identify their mistakes.But some parents correct their children’s mistakes by themselves when signing off on it.
It is the duty of students to do their homework,be responsible for their studies and correct their mistakes.Parents’ supervising their homework,checking their answers and dealing with the harder problems will only make children less aware of their mistakes and encourage them to wait for their parents’ help when they face any problem.
Children have to manage their own learning and develop the ability to study by themselves,as competence will not be achieved if a student simply repeats strict tasks in which he is assisted at school by teachers and at home by parents.
A delayed satisfaction experiment conducted by Walter Mischel in the 1960s proved that children with better self-discipline(自律) performed better in their studies and interpersonal relationships.
There is little doubt that parents’ supervision can make children’s homework better.But it does not give children the chance to practise their ability to solve problems independently.

C.Children will simply repeat rigid tasks so as to practise themselves.
D.Children will try to deal with their problems and mistakes by themselves.

4.What is the author’s attitude to parents’ stopping signing kids’ homework
