If you are a fan of J．K Rowling and her Harry Potter book series, you may be fascinated with the idea of an invisible coat．You are not alone．Scientists have been working hard to produce a material which will make buildings as well as people invisible．Now a Canadian company claims to have succeeded with magical textile （纺织品） called "Quantum Stealth"．
British Columbia based on Hyperstealth Technology Corporation claims that the material makes its wearers completely invisible, even to people with night glasses．
Also, just like the young wizard's coat, it is light-weight and does not need cameras, batteries, lights or mirrors to operate．But best of all, it is cheap to make．
As to how it really works, the company keeps it a top secret．Besides stating that they have successfully managed to bend light waves, so that they go round the material instead of through it, the company is not giving out any details．What it does detail is all the good uses that Quantum Stealth could be put to-ranging from protecting US and Canadian soldiers forced to step into enemy region, to allowing special armed forces to carry out surprise attack without any fear of being seen．And if that is not enough they even imagine creating aircrafts and submarines （潜水艇） that can go completely undetected．
To prove that Quantum Stealth really exists, the company has released photos and even a video showing its magical properties．For those that are still sceptical, they have only one thing to say both the US and Canadian military officials have witnessed it live and are so impressed that they are working with Hyper stealth Technology to create the next generation "survival blanket" that could make the soldier invisible all at once!

After students come home from a tiring day at school, they tend to worry a lot about their homework.
Whether students are working on English or chemistry homework, they are simply working on the assignment in order to get it done, attempting to memorize the concepts for the time being and do not absorb any of the information afterward. Students are wasting their time on insignificant assignments rather than effectively using that time to achieve other accomplishments. According to , many parents are concerned that homework is being assigned rather than being used to integrate (整合) what teachers are covering in the classroom. In their eyes, if less homework is assigned, students would have much less stress and could focus more on their passions and hobbies.
Homework gets in the way of participating in community service events as well as opportunities for getting a job or being a part of an extra-curricular activity. These responsibilities are important for teenagers to take on because they prepare the teenagers for the "real world." Without the proper exposure to work that is not school related, students will find themselves lost after they graduate. If homework were no longer given, students would have a lot more time to mature in other fields rather than being educated only on academics.
In spite of the fact that teachers want students to do better on tests and absorb the material that they are teaching, homework is not accomplishing its purpose. Because school is becoming increasingly more competitive and challenging, homework is becoming a setback rather than extra practice. Its removal would benefit the well being of teenagers as well as encourage them to get out in the "real world" and discover themselves instead of staring at a pile of assignments.

A. they are working on it carelessly and hurriedly

A. made simpler and easier B. completely cancelled
C. connected with social activities D. switched over to subject competitions
E【文章解读】文章阐述了现在的同学铺张时间在无效的作业上，由于他们做完作业后，不能真正理解作业里面的信息。很多父母认为老师应当削减作业的数量来让孩子们进展自己的爱好。作业会虚弱孩子们的社会适应力。
