Are you carrying too much on your back at school? You're not alone. Back experts in the USA were worried that young students are having back and neck problems because they are carrying too much in their backpacks (schoolbags).
“It hurts my back when I run,” said Ebelin Reyes, a student in Virginia. “It's hard to get up the stairs with my backpack because it's too heavy. ” Students have to carry heavy backpacks on their backs for a whole week's study. Ebelin is one of them. They have regular backpacks with two straps(帶子) to carry them, but a number of students with heavy loads (負荷) have switched to rolling backpacks. The backpacks have wheels (輪子) and can roll on the ground. Shirley Park's backpack weighs (重) 10 kilos, and she said,“I'll change to a rolling backpack because I am starting to have back pain. ”
How much is too much? Experts say that students should carry no more than 10 to 15 percent (百分之……) of their own body weigh. A few students have had a good idea to lighten (減輕) the load： less homework .
Doctor's suggestions (建議):
1．Lighten the load. Take home only the books the students need that day.
2．Wide straps are better. They can send out weight over your shoulders (肩) and be sure to wear backpacks with two straps.
3．The heaviest things should be packed closest to the back.
4．Bend (彎曲) both knees when you pick up the pack, don't just bend over the waist.
(1) The main idea of the passage is about_________.
[ ]
A. the problems made by rolling backpacks
B. the goodness of backpacks
C. the best backpacks for students
D. how to lighten students' backpacks
(2) From what Ebelin Reyes and Shirley Park said, we know________.
[ ]
A. students have to carry heavy backpacks
B. students have to do homework
C. backpacks with wheels are bad for students
D. students have no time to play because of homework
(3) In the text“switch to” means_________.
[ ]
(4) By the words of the experts, it's better for a student of 40 kilos to carry a backpack of ________ at most.
[ ]
(5) If students follow the doctor's suggestions, they_________.
[ ]
A. may do less homework

When I opened the first“Body Shop”in 1976, what I wanted to do was to earn (掙) enough money to feed my children. Today“The Body Shop”is a great company growing fast all around the world. In the years since we began, I have learned a lot. Much of what I have learned will be found in this book, because I believe that we, as a company, have something worth saying about how to run (管理) a successful business without giving up what you really believe in.
It' s not an ordinary business book. It is not just about my life, either. The message is that to succeed in business you have to be different. Business can be fun, a business can be run with love and it can do good. In business, as in life, I need to enjoy myself, to have a feeling of my family and to feel excited by something unusual. I have always wanted the people who work for“The Body Shop”to feel the same way.
Now this book sends these ideas out into the world, and makes them public. I'd like to think there are no limits(界限) to our“family”, no limits to what can be done. I find that an exciting thought. I hope you do, too.

Stephen Hawking was born in Oxford, England on 8th January 1942. He went to school in St. Albans -- a small city near London. Although he did well, he was never top of his class. After leaving school, Hawking went first to Oxford University where he studied physics, then he went to Cambridge University where he studied cosmology. As he himself admits (承認) , he didn't work hard. He was a very lazy student, and did very little work. However, he still got good marks.
It was at the age of 20 that Hawking first noticed something was wrong with him. He started to bump (撞上) into things. When he visited his family at Christmas time, his mother was so worried that she made him see a doctor. Hawking was sent to hospital for tests. Finally, the result came back. Hawking had motor neuron disease, an incurable ill- ness which would make him unable to speak, breathe (呼吸) or move without the help of a machine. Doctors said they had no way to help him. He would die before he was 23.
At first, Hawking became very depressed (憂傷的) . After a while, though, he began to see his life in a different way. As he later wrote,“Before my illness was diagnosed (診斷) , I had been very bored with life. There had not seemed to be anything worth doing. But shortly after I came out of hospital, I suddenly realized that there were a lot of worthwhile things I could do.”Hawking married, found a job at Cambridge University, and had three children. He also went on to do some of the most important scientific research.
Today, Hawking still works at Cambridge University as a professor. He strongly believes that his story shows that nobody, how- ever bad their situation (處境) is, should lose hope.“Life is not fair,”he once said.“You just have to do the best you can in your own situation.”

four-year-old girl is lying in the arms of a doctor. She has just lost her mother. Her pink clothes are full of blood and her eyes look at something only she can see.
Every day we see pictures like this on our televisions. We see Iraqi children begging for food and water from American and British soldiers as they move through towns and cities towards the capital, Baghdad. We see these children following parents, carrying bags of almost the same size as their small bodies as they escape from their homes in Baghdad.
They show just some of the young lives that have been turned upside down by ongoing war and the terrible price paid by Iraqi children.
“Dad, why are the Americans fighting against us? Are we going to be killed?” asks the son of Abu Singer, an Iraqi engineer. Abu finds it hard to explain this war to his eight-year-old son.
He tries to make him feel safe by saying,“The bombs are far away from us. The Americans are fighting the soldiers. We are going to be all right. ” Even though Abu knows it isn't always true, little else can be done. In Baghdad, parents give their children sleeping pills to try and let them escape from the sound of bombs. And all the schools are closed.
Now things are worse, and the ongoing war makes it impossible to count the number who are hungry, sick ,hurt or even dead.

The size and shape of your ears show your character more than any other part of the face. Other parts of the face change shape as we get older, but ears do not change their shape. They only change in size.
Reading people's character from their ears is a very old science. In ancient times people thought that a person with big ears had a good and generous (慷慨的) character. They thought that a person with pale (蒼白的), small ears was dangerous. They also thought that the shape of the ear showed if a person was musical or not. Today, too many people believe that the size and shape of the ear helps you know if a person is musical.
Ears are all different, and each characteristic (特征) has a meaning. Next time you look at a person, see if his or her ears are large, medium-sized or small. Look at the lobes (耳垂) . Are they attached to the face? Ears that are always red mean that a person may have a temper (脾氣), or he /she may just have high blood pressure. Ears that are always cold and pale mean that a person has a nervous character. And a big inside the ear means a person is musical.
(1) What shows one's character most in the part of the face?
[ ]
A．The color of one's eyes.
B．The size of one's eyes.
C．The size and shape of one's ears.
D．The shape of one's mouth.
(2) In ancient times, how did people think about someone with big ears?
[ ]
(3) ________ may mean a person has a nervous character.
[ ]
(4) Lobes attached to the face means a person has ________.
[ ]
(5) Which of the following is RIGHT?
[ ]
A．Today people do not believe the size and shape of the ears show if a person is musical or not.
B．Different ears have the same meaning.
C．People read character from one's ears in ancient times.
D．Other parts of the face change shape as we get older, so do ears.

Pumas (美洲獅) are large, cat-like animals which are found in America. When a report came into London Zoo that a wild puma had been seen forty-five miles south of London, they didn't pay much attention. However, more and more reports came, so the experts from the zoo felt they should find out the truth.
They began to search for the puma in a small village where a woman saw a large cat only five yards away from her. It ran away as soon as she saw it. The experts said that a puma will not attack a person unless it is cornered. The search was difficult, for the puma was often seen at one place in the morning and at an other place twenty miles away in the evening. Wherever it went, it left behind a trail of dead deer and small animals like rabbits. Several people complained of cat-like noise at night and a businessman on a fishing trip saw the puma up a tree. Now the experts believed that this animal was a puma, but where did it come from? As no puma had been reported missing from any zoo in the country, this one must belong to a private collector and somehow it succeeded in escaping. The search went on for several weeks, but the puma was not caught. It is terrifying to think that a dangerous wild animal is still at large in the quiet countryside.
(1) From this passage, we know that ________ escaped.
[ ]
A．a(chǎn) cat
B．a(chǎn) lion
C．a(chǎn)n animal that looks like a cat

[ ]

[ ]
A．One woman saw the puma.
B．The puma was also seen by a businessman.
C．At night, the puma made a lot of noise.
D．The puma could not climb a tree.

[ ]
A．unless it is in a corner
B．unless it can find no way out
