              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 backpacks (schoolbags).
              "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 students whose backpacks were weighed(称重) for a week in a recent study.
              They had regular backpacks with two straps (带子) to carry them,but a number of students with heavy loads had switched to rolling backpacks (which have wheels and can roll on the ground).Shirley Park,whose backpack weighed 10kilograms,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 10-15% of their own body weight.
              A few students had one suggestion to lighten the load(负重):less homework.
              P.S.(附) Doctor's suggestion:
              ①Lighten the load.Clean out binders (活页材料) and take home only the books you need that night.
              ②Wide straps are better.They send out the weight over your shoulders more evenly (均匀).And be sure to wear both straps rather than hanging the pack over one shoulder.
              ③Pack smart.The heavier things should be packed closed to the back.
              ④Bend both knees when you pick up the pack,and don't just bend over at the waist (腰).

              (1) What is the main idea of the text? ______
              A. The problem of backpacks is worth studying.
              B. Students suggest less homework.

              C. backpacks without wheels are bad for students

              English is the most widely used language in the history of our planet.One in every seven human beings can speak it.More than half of the world's books and three quarters of international mails are in English.Of all languages,English has the largest vocabulary-perhaps as many as two million words.
              However,let's face it:English is a crazy language.There is no egg in an eggplant,neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger.Sweet-meats are candy,while sweetbreads,which aren't sweet,are meat.
              We take English for granted.But when we explore its paradoxes (探索它的矛盾),we find that quicksand can work slowly,boxing rings are square,public bathrooms have no baths in them.
              And why is it that a writer writes,but fingers don't fing,grocers don't groce,and hammers don't ham?If the plural of tooth is teeth,shouldn't the plural of booth be beeth?One goose,two geese-so one moose,two meese?
              How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same,while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites?How can overlook and oversee be opposites,while quite a lot and quite a few are alike?How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next?
              English was invented by people,not computers,and it reflects the creativity of human beings.That's why,when stars are out,they are visible (能看见的); but when the lights are out,they are invisible.And why,when I wind up my watch,I start it; but when I wind up this essay,I end it.

              (1) According to the passage ______ .
              A. sweet-meats and sweetbreads are different things
              B. there should be egg in an eggplant
              C. pineapples are the apples on the pine tree
              D. boxing rings should be round
              (2) Which of the following is the correct plural? ______
              A. Beeth. B. Geese. C. Meese. D. Tooth.
              (3) Which of the following includes two items that have the similar meaning? ______
              A. A wise man and a wise guy.
              B. Overlook and oversee.
              C. Hot as hell and cold as hell.
              D. Quite a lot and quite a few.
              (4) Through the many paradoxes in the English language,the writer wants to show that human beings are ______ .
              A. clever B. crazy C. lazy D. upset.

              What happens when we want to do something impossible?It may seem unlikely,but it is our true nature.It may seem silly,but it is our heart's purpose.
              Once there was a strong camel.She liked dancing very much.She wanted to be a ballet (芭蕾舞) dancer."To make every movement a thing of beauty,"said the camel,"is my dream."
              Again and again she practiced.She repeated the five basic positions a hundred times each day.She worked for long months under the hot sun,but not once did she think of stopping.
              At last the camel said,"Now,I am a dancer."She gave a performance and danced before an invited group of friends.She did very well.When her dance was over,she made a deep bow.
              There was no applause (鼓掌).Instead,everyone laughed at her.
              "I must tell you frankly,"said one of her friends,"you are lumpy and humpy.You don't have any talent in dancing.You are,like the rest of us,simply a camel.You are just an animal.You are not and never will be a ballet dancer!"With these words,they moved away across the sand,laughing and joking.
              "How wrong they are!"said the camel."I have worked hard.I will be a good dancer.I will dance and dance just for myself."That is what she did.It gave her many years of pleasure.
              She practiced hard and made much progress in her dancing skills.Occasionally,the camel was chosen to perform at an animal party before her old friends.The camel was lucky because she knew exactly what she wanted and she never gave up.

              I found out one time that doing a favor for someone could get you into a lot of trouble.I was in the eighth grade at the time,and we were having a final test.During the test,the girl sitting next to me whispered something,but I didn't:understand.So I leaned over her way and found out that she was trying to ask me if I had an extra pen.She showed me that:hers was out of ink and would not write.I happened to have an extra one,so I took it out of my pocket and put it on her desk.
              Later,after the test papers had been turned in,the teacher asked me to stay in the room when all the other students were dismissed(解散).As soon as we were alone she began to talk to me about what it meant to grow up;she talked about how important it was to stand on your own two feet and be responsible (负责任) for your own acts.For a long time,she talked about honesty and emphasized(强调) the fact that when people do something dishonest,they are really cheating(欺骗) themselves.She made me promise that I would think seriously(认真地) about all the things she had said,and then she told me I could leave.I walked out of the room wondering why she had chosen to talk to me about all those things.
              Later on,I found out that she thought I had cheated on the test.When she saw me lean over to talk to the girl next to me,it looked as if I was copying answers from the girl's test paper.I tried to explain about the pen,but all she could say was it seemed very strange to her that I hadn't talked of anything about the pen the day she talked to me right after the test.Even if I tried to explain that I was just doing the girl a favor by letting her use my pen,I am sure she continued(继续) to believe that I had cheated on the test.

              A. in the teacher's office

              C. there was something wrong with her own
              D. her own had been taken away by someone
              (3) The teacher saw all this,so she asked the boy ______ .
              A. to go on writing his paper
              B. to stop whispering
              C. to leave the room immediately

              What makes a gift special?Is it the price you see on the gift receipt?Or is it the look on the recipient's face when they receive it that determines the true value?What gift is worth the most?
              This Christmas I was debating what to give my father.My dad is a hard person to buy for because he never wants anything.I pulled out my phone to read a text message from my mom saying that we were leaving for Christmas shopping for him when I came across a message on my phone that I had locked.The message was from my father.My eyes fell on a photo of a flower taken in Wyoming,and underneath a poem by William Blake.The flower,a lone dandelion standing against the bright blue sky,inspired me.My dad had been reciting those words to me since I was a kid.That may even be the reason why I love writing.I decided that those words would be my gift to my father.
              I called back.I told my mom to go without me and that I already created my gift.I sent the photo of the cream-colored flower to my computer and typed the poem on top of it.As I was arranging the details another poem came to mind.The poem was written by Edgar Allan Poe; my dad recited it as much as he did the other.I typed that out as well and searched online for a background to the words of it.The poem was focused around dreaming,and after searching I found the perfect picture.The image was painted with blues and greens and purples,twisting together to create the theme and wonder of a dream.As I watched both poems passing through the printer,the white paper coloring with words that shaped my childhood.I felt that this was a gift that my father would truly appreciate.
              Christmas soon arrived.The minute I saw the look on my dad's face as he unwrapped those swirling black letters carefully placed in a cheap frame,I knew I had given the perfect gift.

              D. leaving for Wyoming
              (2) The author's inspiration for the gift came from ______ .
              A. a photo of a flower
              B. a story about a kid
              C. a call from the mother
              D. a text about Christmas
              (3) The author made the gift by ______ .
              A. searching for the poems online
              B. drawing the background by hand
              C. painting the letters in three colors
              D. matching the words with pictures.

              When I was about twelve,I headed to a restaurant for dinner with my family.It was winter,and on that night,the wind was really blowing hard.
              As my mom and I headed to the restaurant from our car,a girl about my age and her mother came up to us.They asked if we had any spare change (零钱).My mom right away asked where they lived.They pointed to an old car in a parking lot across the street.The girl said there were six of them living in that car.
              My mom said she had something to do after handing the people a few dollars.She sent me inside the restaurant with my dad and my three siblings (兄弟姐妹).But she didn't come.Later,I found out she had gone home and put all the food in our cupboards (食橱) into a few bags.Then,she brought that food over to the car and handed the bags to the family.I wasn't there when that happened,but I can only imagine the joy it brought to those people.
              A few days later,when I actually found out about what she had done,I asked her why she helped those people.She told me that they were not lucky.I remember the face of that girl who had asked us for change.She was the same age as me,yet we looked so different.
              Here I stood,dressed in almost new clothes,headed to eat in a restaurant and then back home to the bedroom I shared with my younger sister.I remember thinking that the other girl didn't have any food to eat and she was heading back to a cold car shared with five other people.
              After painting this picture in my mind,I understood why my mom had done what she did.I will never forget what she did that night,and how she taught me one of the best lessons I ever learned.

              During my elementary school years,I used to compare my mom with my best friend Tiffany's mom.
              Tiffany's mom always gave her lots of money to buy the most fashionable clothes and favorite food.Her mom allowed her to do anything she liked.I really admired Tiffany.My mom didn't give me much pocket money and she always told me that I should behave myself.I was annoyed with her.
              Whenever I didn't get what I wanted,I would complain to my mom,Tiffany's mom would give her that!I wish she were my mom.Every time,my mom would calmly say"Poor Tiffany".I couldn't understand her."She shouldn't be feeling sorry for Tiffany!"I thought."She should be feeling sorry for me."
              One day,I couldn't help saying to Mom,"Poor Tiffany?Lucky Tiffany!She gets everything she wants!Why do you feel sorry for her?"I burst into tears.
              My mom sat down next to me and said softly."Yes,I do feel sorry for her.I have been teaching you a lesson that she will never be taught."I looked up at her."What are you talking about?"
              Mom said with care,"One day she will really want something.Maybe she'll find out that she can't have it.Her mother won't always be around to give her money,and what's more,money can't buy everything."
              She continued,"I have taught you valuable lessons by not giving you everything you want.You'll know how to look for bargains and save money,but she won't.You'll understand that you need to work hard to get the things that you want but she won't.When Tiffany is a grown woman,she'll wake up one day and she will be wishing that she had a mom like the one you've got.Life lessons are more important than modern clothes and delicious food."

              As a summer job,I used to do housework for Mr.Fleagle.When I entered his house,I saw that books were piled up (堆积) like a small hill.It was like a library,except with no order to the arrangement.
              "Read,borrow,keep,or find something you like.What do you read?"Mr.Fleagle said.
              "I don't know."And I didn't.I generally read what was in front of me,so I started to look through the piles of books.I asked him to choose a book for me.
              "You really read all of these?"I asked.
              "These aren't many,"Mr.Fleagle said."They are nothing,just what I've kept,the ones worth looking at a second time."
              After a moment,he handed me a dark red hardcover book,fairly thick.
              I started to read the book after finishing housework,sitting outdoors on an uncomfortable kitchen chair.Translated from French,the language was simple,impossible to resist (抵挡).When the evening light finally failed,I moved inside and read all through the night.
              Thirty years later,I still remember the experience.It was my first connection (联系) with the world literature,and I was amazed by the connected power a novel could contain.
              All in all,a book,if it arrives before you at the right moment,in the proper season,will change the way of all that follows.

              I came across quite a few language problems while spending holiday with my family last summer.The most embarrassing was when my Mom apologized to the people we were staying with because her"pants were dirty".They looked at her in surprise,not knowing how to react.You see,Mom had fallen over and gotten mud on her jeans.But in Britain,"pants"means underpants or knickers (内裤;衬裤),not trousers as it does back home.
              Katie-From AmericaI went to stay with a friend on the west coast last summer.Her flat was on the first floor of a high-rise building so I got the lift up.Then I wandered round for ages looking for her flat but couldn't find it.Fed up and tired,I finally had to go out to find a phone box.She explained that her flat was on the first floor,which for me meant the ground floor.
              David-From BritainWhen I asked for the"restroom"in a big department store,people kept directing me to a room with seats where I could sit and"rest".It took me years to get through to (使…明白)someone that I only wanted the toilet!
