At the end of his first day away, James telephoned his brother, “How is Edgar?” “Edgar is dead.” Herbert answered. There was a pause. Then James said, “Herbert, youre insensitive (漠然的). You know how close I was to Edgar. You should have broken the news to me slowly. When I asked about Edgar tonight, you should have said, Edgars on the roof , but I have called the fire department to get him down. And tomorrow when I called, you could have said the firemen were having trouble getting Edgar down, but you were hopeful they would succeed. Then when I called the third time, you could have told me that the firemen have done their best, but unfortunately Edgar had fallen off the roof and was at the veterinarians (兽医站). Then when I called the last time, you could have said that although everything possible had been done for Edgar, he had died. Thats the way a kind man would have told me about Edgar. And, oh, before I forget,” James added, “how is mother?” “Oh,” Herbert said, pausing for a moment, “Shes on the roof.” 21.

But I think there is a reason for it. Homework is given so that we can remember whatever we have learnt. But teachers have started to give too much homework. Anything in excess (过度) is bad. So homework should be given with the idea of giving students a practice and not to overwork them
