这篇文章是云南省英语会考说明上的,是2014年的还是2015年的不清楚,是阅读理解第一个的A篇。
开始是这样的:Ten-year-old schoolboy Alex Mcteer was so angry about having to do homework after class
A ten-year-old Yorkshire schoolboy was so fed up about having to do homework he wrote a strongly worded letter to the Prime Minister.
Sheffield's Alex McTeer grew angry at having to do homework - especially on a Friday - and told his mother he was going to write to David Cameron about it in the perhaps desperate hope the Prime Minister would take action to end extra-curricular school work.
He wrote:
Dear Mr Cameron,
I am writing to ask if you will change the law so children don't have to do homework, especially on a Friday.
I work really hard at school every day and think that when I get home it should be my time to play with friends and chill out.
Please write back.
Alex McTeer, 10, From Sheffield.
Mr Cameron's response came from Stephanie, a Downing Street correspondence officer, and it offered young master McTeer little hope with his homework headache.
The letter explained the need to be "well organised" and stressed the importance of extra work in developing "successful learners". But it appeared that Stephanie wasn't as organised as the Prime Minister would like Britain's children to be: The date on the letter from No.10 was wrong by 12 months - stating it was 2013 rather than 2014.

Alex’s mother, Nicola Robinson, said while her son was thrilled to get a letter back in February he was less than pleased that Mr Cameron was unable, or unwilling, to help him stop homework.
Miss Robinson, a PR manager, said: "Every Friday he gets sent home with homework and it really grates on him. He hates doing homework because he thinks home time is his time to play.
"It’s given Alex a real lift and has helped make him understand how important homework is."
