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 go up the stairs with my backpack,because it’s too heavy,”
Oberlin was among students whose backpacks were weighed for a week in a recent study.
They had regular backpacks with two straps(帶子)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 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.( 附)Doctor’s suggestion:
1 Lighten the load. Clean out binders(活頁材料)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(均勻)。 And be sure to wear both straps rather than hanging the pack over one shoulder.
3. Pack smart. The heavier things should be packed closed to the back.
4.Bend both knees when you pich up the pack ,and don’t just bend over  at the waist.(腰)
小題1:“_________”is the main idea of the text.
A The problem of backpacks is worth studying.
B The problem made by heavy backpacks
C What is the best backpack for a student.
D      How to make students’backpacks light.
小題2:According to Oberlin Reyes and Shirley Park, we know________.

D too much homework leaves students no free time
小題3:The expression “switched to” in the text perhaps means________.

小題4:According to the passage ,it’s better for a student of 40 kilograms to carry a backpack of _____at most by the words of experts.
A 10kg    B 8kg  C 6kg    D 7kg
小題5: If students follow the doctor’s suggestions they ________.
A may lighten their backpacks
B can learn how to help themselves
C may feel their backpacks are lighter
D will know how to wear backpacks

小題1:D
小題2:A
小題3:A
小題4:C
小題5:C

小題1:本文主要談論了美國學生們的書包里所背的東西太多太重,如何才能使學生們的書包減輕,故本題選D。
小題2:本文中有一句為A few students had one suggestion to lighten the load:less homework.所表示的含義為學生有太多的作業(yè)從來導致書包太重,故本題選A。
小題3:本文第三段最后一句為a number of students with heavy loads had switched to rolling backpacks 所表示的含義許多背著很重東西的學生開始使用可以在地上轉(zhuǎn)動的書包,所以“switched to”的含義為開始使用的含義,故本題選A。
小題4:本文中有一句為Experts say students should carry no more than 10 to 15 percent of their own body weight.,所表示的含義為學生們所背的東西重量不要超過自身重量的百分之10到15,所以40公斤的學生背的東西重量不要超過6公斤,故本題選C。
小題5:本文最后提到了醫(yī)生的4點減輕學生負荷的建議,如果學生采取,他們可能會減輕他們的書包重量,故本題選C 。

These days the subject of security(安全) on campus is talked about quite often.  Some students’ mobile phones are stolen, some students fight with and hurt one another, and others are knocked down by the fast running bikes or cars.
These problems arc common on campus. I think there are three causes for these. Firstly, some students do not take good care of their properties. They are still young and not careful enough. Secondly, some students want to do everything well. They want to be the winners in exams, and they also want to be the winners in fightings.  And thirdly, the campus guards(保安)do not carry on their duties well. They don’ t regulate the traffic in the busy hour.
In order to have a secure campus, all the students should be very careful about their properties. They should also mind their behaviors(舉止) and act politely. The campus guards are supposed to be devoted(致力于) to the security on campus, and it is their duty to safeguard(維護) a secure campus to help provide a good environment for the students.

D
Graffiti is a common feature of most Western cities. The word graffiti was from the Greek word, graphein, which only meant writing. These days, however, the word means drawing or writing on the walls of buildings, or the public transportation, such as trains or buses.
Graffiti, as a form of expression, was born in New York during the 1960s and 1970s. At that time, a new modern culture about city life appeared. Graffiti was a written form of expression of that life. Later, it was mixed with a musical form called hip-hop that was another expression of the city life.
At first, graffiti artists used pens. But then, with the development of graffiti, they became experienced. They turned to using spray paint (噴漆罐). Spray paint allowed them to draw a greater area. And it also allowed them to work quickly.
At present, different people have different ideas about graffiti. Some people say it makes the cities dirty. It isn’t allowed by many local governments in America. The governments spend more than a million dollars a year cleaning graffiti. The money, they say, could be better spent on health or education. Other people think it is a form of art. In fact, the works of some famous graffiti artists can be found in museums, galleries, and art books.
小題1:Which is the present meaning of the underlined word “graffiti” now?
A.書法B.沙畫
C.涂鴉D.油畫
小題2:How many forms of expression of city life are mentioned in the second paragraph (段落)?
A.One.B.Two.
C.Three.D.Four.
小題3:Why did graffiti artists use spray paint?
A.Because they could work quickly.
B.Because they could spend less money.
C.Because they could paint a smaller area.
D.Because they could express themselves clearly.
小題4:What’s the article mainly about?
A.The meaning of graffiti.
B.Different expressions of graffiti.
C.Different attitudes (態(tài)度) towards graffiti.
D.The history and the development of graffiti.
