A good backpack is important for children’s health. “It can relieve (减轻) pressure from the shoulders,” says Dr Rob Danoff from the US. He also says students need a backpack that’s made for the child’s size. Cushioned (加垫的) backs and shoulder straps (带子) will help them avoid pain.

However, the biggest problem for school backpacks is that they are too heavy, noted Hou Weiguang, a doctor in Chengdu. In China, students have many textbooks and exercise books. The weight makes many kids suffer from side-bending (侧弯的) spines, Hou said. He suggests that a backpack should be no more than 15 percent of a child’s body weight to avoid pain or injury.

Parents need to make sure their kids only carry what they need. Schools and governments need to help too, added Zheng Yongshun, an education official from Hong Kong. He said schools should offer locker (储物柜) space and shared books so kids can carry fewer books.

COVID-19(新型冠状病毒肺炎) 【1】first reported in late December. 【2】is believed to have spread to humans from wild animals sold at a market in Wuhan, a city in central China. Since then, it【3】 spread across China and to more than 20 countries and territories around the world. Some scientists said People 【4】have weaker immune systems(免疫系统) might get it more easily【5】 those who have stronger immune systems.

Cities like Boston, Amsterdam and Copenhagen are already using smart technology to improve public services 【3】In Amsterdam, traffic is monitored（监测）and adjusted according to real-time data gathered from sensors around the city. There are fewer traffic jams.

Smart cities will allow us to save resources. By using sensors and 5G networks to check the usage of water, gas and electricity, city managers can figure out how to use these resources more efficiently. For example, water and gas pipes (管道) could remind repair workers when there is a leak (泄漏).【4】

Of course, it will take time to build the smart cities of the future. But since we’ve already seen successful examples, it won’t be long until more cities join in. 【5】
