With the development of economics（经济）， the problem of the left﹣behind children（留守儿童） has become a serious social problem． More and more people have realized we should do something to help them．
The biggest problem is that the children are all hungry for the love from their parents． Many of them can just get a call or a letter from their parents half a year， a year or even several years． So some children can't remember what their parents look like． When they meet their own troubles， they have no one to talk with． Nobody gives them enough care．
Because of being too far away from their parents， the left﹣behind children's study is the second biggest problem． From a survey about their study， only two percent of the children get good results， while ten percent of them are common and eighty﹣eight percent of them are poor． What a pity!
There are also many other problems of the left﹣behind children， such as having no ability to protect themselves， unhealthy lifestyles， spending too much pocket money and too much time on the Internet and so on．

Mr． Guo is a teacher from Xi'an． He asked his students to hand in their homework through a QR code（二维码）． "We spent an hour or two in class learning how to generate（使产生） the codes， and in the end everything gets easier．" Said Guo， "When students finish the homework， they keep it on WeChat． Then， each student makes his own QR code and gives it to me． So I can check their work anywhere using my computer or telephone．"
The QR codes can be sent to Mr． Guo by email， QQ and WeChat． When Guo scans（扫描） his students' QR codes， their homework appears on his phone． He finds that their homework becomes more creative， with many pictures， music and even videos．
Guo's students like the new way and think it is interesting． "We are living in the information age． Many students like to work with computers， which makes learning more fun．" Said Tingting， a student of Guo's．
"The paper is not easy to keep， but the code is easy to keep and share．" Guo said， "It is worth trying to use new technology in education． Education itself is a kind of creation． I don't want my students to fall behind the times．"
However， some parents are worried． They are afraid that their children will spend too much time on computers and less time communicating with teachers． But in fact， it's unnecessary． Students still need to look up information in books and write it down when they do their homework． They only use the codes when they hand in their work， which doesn't take them too much time． Also for teachers， it allows them to check the students' work at any time． And it's also an easy way to share homework with other students．
（1）According to the passage， Guo's students can keep their homework on WeChat， can't they？
（2）How can the QR codes be sent to Mr． Guo？
__
（3）What is one of the advantages of the new way of handing in homework？
（4）What do some parents worry about？
（5）What do you think of the new way of handing in homework？
