参考答案【正确答案：A】
A. 一项针对家庭作业的错误策略；B. 一项受到贫穷学生欢迎的政策；C. 关于家庭作业的棘手问题 ；D. 一项教育政策的错误解读
文章开篇指出家庭作业的弊病，随即提出美国各学区对此做出的努力，以洛杉矶学区所制定的政策为例，说明这项政策在各方面的作为，但这项政策并未解决任何关于家庭作业的棘手问题，看出作者对于这项政策实际是持否定态度的，故答案A为正确选项。D选项的错误在于“错误解读”，文章是对政策进行客观解读。

- Think about driving a route that’s very familiar. It could be your commute to work, a trip into town or the way home. Whichever it is, you know every twist and turn like the back of your hand. On these sorts of trips it’s easy to zone out from the actual driving and pay little attention to the passing scenery. The consequence is that you perceive that the trip has taken less time than it actually has. This is the well-traveled road effect: people tend to underestimate the time it takes to travel a familiar route. The effect is caused by the way we allocate our attention. When we travel down a well-known route, because we don’t have to concentrate much, time seems to flow more quickly. And afterwards, when we come to think back on it, we can’t remember the journey well because we didn’t pay much attention to it. So we assume it was shorter.
