Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer for each of the questions.
Many people now think that teachers give pupils too much homework. They say that it is unnecessary for children to work at home in their free time. Moreover, they argue that most teachers do not properly plan the homework tasks they give to pupils. The result is that pupils have to repeat tasks which they have already done at school. Recently in Greece many parents complained about the difficult homework which teachers gave to children. The parents said that most of the homework was a waste of time, and they wanted to stop it. Spain and Turkey are two countries which stopped homework recently. In Denmark, West Germany and several other countries in Europe, teachers cannot set homework at weekends. In Holland, teachers allow pupils to stay at school to do their homework. The children are free to help one another. Similar arrangements also exist in some British schools.
Most people agree that the homework is unfair. A pupil who can do his homework in a quiet and comfortable room is in a much better position than a pupil who does his homework in a small, noisy room with the television on. Some parents help their children with their homework. Other parents take no interest at all in their children’s homework.
It is important, however, that teachers talk to parents about homework. A teacher should suggest suitable tasks for parents to do with their children. Parents are often better at teaching their own children.
Question 38. According to the writer, ______________.
A. a lot of homework is well planned
B. teachers are allowed to give children homework
C. many parents would like their children to have less homework
D. pupils should do homework in their leisure time
Question 39. which countries is homework completely stopped ?
A. Spain and Holland. B. Turkey and Spain.

Question 42. The following can be inferred from the passage EXCEPT that __________.
