二、我国出台了一项减轻中小学生负担的政策，为中小学生的成长“松绑”。请阅读下面短文，根据短文内容和你的思考回答以下问题。
In recent years, China has introduced the "double reduction" policy(政策)to ease the burden(减轻负担)of primary and middle school students.
According to the policy, in order to give students more free time, teachers should reduce the amount of homework and its difficulty. For example, students in the second grade and lower should not have any homework, and it should take no longer than 90 minutes for middle school students to finish their homework.
China introduced this policy because students in China are under great pressure today. To help children get good grades and finally enter good universities, parents and teachers make children's lives full of homework and exams. As a result, more and more children are unable to live happily. Some of them even have health problems caused by pressure from schoolwork.
Many parents strongly agree with this policy. Li Yu, the mother of a primary school student in Beijing, said, "Doing less homework can help kids protect their eyesight(视力)and have more free time to do what they like." Some parents of middle school students also think the policy is good for their children's all-round development.
