Are you carrying too much on your back at school? You’re not alone. Back experts in the United States are worried that young students are having back and neck problems as a result of carrying too much in their back-packs.
“It hurts my back when I run.”said Oberlin Reyes, a student in Virginia. “It’s hard to get up the stairs with my backpack, because it’s too heavy.”
Oberlin is among the students whose backpacks were overweighed in a recent study.
They had regular backpacks with two straps to carry them, but a number of students with heavy loads had switched to rolling backpacks.
Shirley Park, whose backpack weighed 10 kilograms, said she changed to a rolling backpack because she was starting to have back pain.
How much is too much? Experts say students should carry no more than 10 to 15 percent of their own body weight.
A few students had one suggestion to lighten the load: less homework.
P.S.
Doctor’s suggestions:
（1）Lighten the load. Clean out binders and take home only the books you need that night.
（2）Wide straps are better. They send out the weight over your shoulders more evenly. And be sure to wear both straps rather than hang the pack over one shoulder.
（3）Pack smart. The heavier things should be packed close to the back.
（4）Bend both knees when you pick up the pack, and don’t just bend over at the waist.

查看习题详情和答案>>Do you think your schoolwork is too hard? Do you feel you have too much homework? If you answer “yes”, you are in the same boat as most US kids. However, school life for them is about to get even harder.
A group of 13 states have decided to make their schools’ workload(工作量) much heavier, especially in math and English. Most students in US high schools work very hard. But it is not like in China, where almost all students have to work from early morning till late in the evening.
US students have a lot of freedom to decide how hard they should work. “Most students put in a lot of effort (努力), but some do almost nothing,” said Will Gordon, a teacher from North Carolina. “I think stricter rules will help those students who aren’t so focused (集中精神的).”
“For the most part, it’s good,” said Adam Jorve, 15, a student at Gordon’s school. “A lot of kids in public schools can hardly read when they graduate. However, for me, I wish I didn’t have the extra work.”
81. From the first passage we know that most US kids _______.
A. have a pleasant school life B. often go boating together
C. have hard schoolwork D. pay little attention to their schoolwork
82. Compared with Chinese students, kids in the US ________.
A. have a much heavier workload B. don’t have to work from morning till night

Ken I finish my homework，I often chat with my friends on the Internet．Sometimes I play Internet games．But my parents hate to see me playing games on the computer．Maybe they have heard of too much bad news about QQ and Internet games．Once 1 went to a net bar to play games after sch001．But I told my parents that I played basketball at school．I said so because I didn’t want to make them unhappy．I feel bad about lying．However，，I heed to rest for a while by playing computer games after studying for a long time．I really hope my parents understand me．Do foreign parents do the same to their children ? Please help me．
Wang Lin

| Dear Wang Lin, I think it' s not strange for parents to want to keep their children away from anything bad. Foreign parents will do the same as your parents! They may not let their children watch TV for too long a time. they also don' t want their children to play computer games. Talk to your parents and be honest to them, I think. Tell them what you are doing and why you are doing so to make them understand you. It' s never good to do things behind your parents' backs. They aren't fools as you think of them sometimes! Our parents seem to know what is the best for us. Remember: to be honest is the best way. |

As we all know, this is the school leavers’ party, and it’s time to say goodbye to everyone. We’re sorry to leave you at the end of our junior high school education, and we promise that we'll never forget the happy times we have spent in these buildings with you all.
I’d like to thank three groups of people for the three things I’ve learnt while I’ve been a pupil at our school. The three things are friendship, love and knowledge.
The first group is my friends, and what I’ve learnt is the importance of friendship. We’ve worked hard together, we’ve even shared some difficult times together, but we’ve also had a lot of fun. Many of us will go to new schools and we may not see each other so often in the future. Others will go on to senior high school and continue their close friendships. But friends don’t have to see each other all the time. Sometimes the friends you treasure most are the friends you see less often. A life without old friends is like a day without sunshine. We'll always stay in touch.
The second group is our parents and grandparents. We thank you for the love you have shown us during our years at junior high school, for making a home where we feel both safe and relaxed, and where we can prepare ourselves for our school days. We also thank you for your help with our homework. How many of us owe our good grades to the suggestions you have made during those long evenings?
And finally, the third group is our teachers. We can never pay you back for your kindness, your patience, and gift of knowledge which you have offered us; sometimes you’ve made us work very hard. But you have always been fair and you’ll always be our role models. There’s a saying from Ireland which is a favourite of mine: Strangers are only friends you haven’t met yet.
I couldn’t say it better myself. So from the bottom of my heart, I thank you all and wish you success for the future.
