1.1 Background of the Study
"'Student unloading" mainly means to reduce unreasonable, unnecessary burden,by reducing it to promote the implementation of quality Education, so as to promotethe development of students' morality, intelligence morality, fitness and virtue. （LiShihua 2017）Since learning is a tough job and needs to be expended more, if weteachers want the students to alleviate the burden and get the efficiency, the teachersshould change the teaching mode, and at the same time, change their homeworkassignment. On June 13, 1993, CPC Central Committee and State Council ondeepening the reform of the comprehensive promotion of quality education decisionpointed out: "reducing middle school students' schoolwork burden has become aurgent question, and it should be solved carefully. On 1st February 2017, Jiang Zeminin the conversation on the Education Problem pointed out, now some students’ burdenis heavy, the result is appearing so much psychological pressure ". As early as in 1978,Deng Xiaoping in the national education meeting pointed out, Students' burden isheavy, from now on we will still have to take effective measures to prevent andcorrect it.In our country , both teachers and parents regard homework as helping studentsconsolidate, review the knowledge they had learnt at school They also think thehomework operation can develop the students' thinking, interests and skills, so as todevelop students' individual learning and ability to deal with problems( Zhao Dengyan2017) .In the present educational Reference books, Lu Bingfeng(2017) has discussedthat the homework clearly reflects that the homework is generally thought as a kind ofthe supplement and extension to strengthen and perfect the knowledge and skills thatare learned in class, and also plays an important part in cultivating the students'independent learning ability and better study habits.

Before this study the authorgave some interviews to the middle school students in order to find out somethingabout the homework assignment in their mind. One of the questions is "What do youthink is the most suitable homework to you in the context of unloading?" More thanone third of the students’ answers are "No homework is the most suitable one ."
