New job wants me to start working on stuff two weeks before my start date

Hi all, I recently got a great offer for a new position after having left an extremely toxic work environment and job searching for months. It seems wonderful, much closer to the kind of work i want to do and much better compensation and benefits. Company culture seems good too and there’s very low turnover. I start in 2 weeks. My problem now, however, is that my supervisor just emailed me a bunch of work and instructed me to go ahead and get started since they’re very busy. I’m not getting paid or anything until my start date and i’m not sure what to do. I really need this job, but I don’t want to give the impression right away that I can he taken advantage of. What should I do??
