专题07 任务型阅读 主题01 人与社会 Passage 1 (24-25八下·安徽蚌埠怀远县等3地·期中)In July, 2021, China introduced the “double reduction (双减)” policy. It hopes to reduce students’ learning burden (负担) by reducing homework and after-school classes. Several months has passed since then. How do students feel about this new policy? “Our homework is clearly less than before,” said 13-year-old Shen Yuzhe from Beijing. “We are not encouraged to buy workbooks anymore. ” According to him, teachers now teach at a much slower pace. Students have enough time to process new knowledge. For 13-year-old Zhang Hangming from Tianjin, the best thing about “double reduction” is the increased time in after-school activities. “We can now spend more time taking part in clubs and activities, such as dancing, volleyball and drama. I have joined a group called ‘leadership development’ where I can learn all kinds of skills beyond school study,” said Zhang. Both Shen and Zhang find there are fewer exams now. But they think it’s not necessarily a good thing. “Exams push me to study harder. Each exam shows my progress as well as my weak points,” Zhang said. Shen also pointed out that when the burden is lightened, sell-discipline (自律) becomes the key. “Some students now spend more time having fun when homework is finished early. But if you use all the free time to relax, you might fall behind your peers (同龄人),” he said. 1．According to the writer, why does the government introduce the“double reduction” policy?
