Are you carrying too much on your back at sch...

Are you carrying too much on your back at your back at school? I’m sure lots of children of your age will say “Yes”. Not only the students in China have this problem, but children in the United States also have heavy school bags.

Doctors are starting to worry that younger and younger students are having back and neck problems as a result of school bags being too heavy for them.

“It’s hard for me to go upstairs with my bag because it’s so heavy,” said Rick Hammond, an 11-year-old student in the US.

Rick is among students who have common school bags with two straps（带子）to carry them, but many other students choose rolling（有滚轮的）bags.

But even with rolling bags, getting up stairs and buses is still a problem for children. Many of them have hurt their backs and necks because of the heavy school bags.

But how much is too much? Doctors say students should carry no more than 10% to 15% of their own body weight.

Scout Batch, a back doctor, said children under Grade 4 should stay with 10%. But it is also important that older children don’t stay with over 15%, because their bodies are still growing.

“Children are losing their balance and falling down with their school bags,” he said.

Parents and teachers are starting to tell children to only take home library books they will be reading that night. Some teachers are using pieces of paper or thin workbooks for students to take home.

One of the best answers is, as some children said, to have no homework at all!

1.From the passage we can know that ________.

A. only children in China carry too heavy school bags

B. children in other countries don’t carry too heavy bags

C. both children in China and the US carry too heavy school bags

D. only children in the US carry too heavy school bags

2.If a child carries a heavy school bag ________.

A. his feet will be hurt　　 B. his head and arms will be hurt

C. his hands will be hurt　　 D. his back and neck will be hurt

3.According to the doctor, Scott Batch, if a child in Grade 5 weighs（重）about 30 kilos, the school bag he carries should not be over ________.

A. 5 kilos　　 B. 3 kilos　　 C. 5.5 kilos　　 D. 4.5 kilos

4.Some students think the best answer to this problem is that ________.

A. they should have a little homework to do after they get home

B. they should only take home library books they will read that night

C. their teachers had better not ask them to do any homework

D. they should use thin workbooks instead of thick ones

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 Eglin 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. Beeline is one of them. They have regular backpacks with two straps(带子) to carry them, but a number of students with heavy loads have switched to rolling backpacks. The backpacks have wheels and can roll on the ground.

Shirley Park’s backpack weighs 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 of their own body weight. A few students have had a good idea to lighten the load: Less homework.

Doctor’s suggestions:

●Lighten the load. Take home only the books the students need that night.

●Wide straps are better. They can send out weight over your shoulders and be sure to wear backpacks with two straps.

●The heaviest things should be packed closest to the back.

●Bend(弯曲) both knees when you pick up the pack, don’t just bend the waist(腰).

1.The main idea of the passage is about _______.

A. the problems made by rolling backpacks

B. the advantage of backpacks

C. the best backpacks for students

D. how to lighten students’ backpacks

2.If a child carries a heavy school bag ,__________

A. his back and neck will be hurt

B. his head and arms will be hurt

C. his hands will be hurt

D. his feet will be hurt

3.By the words of the experts, it’s better for a student of 40 kilos to carry a backpack of at most _______.

A. 7 kilos　 B. 8 kilos

C. 6 kilos　　 D. 10 kilos

4.If students follow the doctor’s suggesting, they _______.

A. will know how to use backpacks

B. may feel their backpacks are lighter

C. can learn how to enjoy them

D. may do less homework

高二英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

You’ve likely noticed them by now. School buses are back on the street packed with students. Many of those kids step off the buses with a potential health danger over their shoulder — a backpack filled with homework.

Backpacks come in all shapes, sizes and colors. It is a fun way for any girl or boy to express their styles. Some are simple, some covered with cartoon characters, many equipped with special compartments for every tool a student needs, like pencils, notebooks and books.

Yes, they are practical, but a heavy backpack can injure muscles and joints. Wearing a backpack incorrectly can lead to severe back, neck and shoulder pain, as well as posture problems. When a backpack filled with books is placed on a boy or girl’s shoulders incorrectly, the force of the weight can pull the child backward, so the child may bend their hips forward or arch their back.

Pay attention to detail when selecting a backpack; choose one that is equipped with a comfortable back, waist and wide shoulder straps. Narrow straps can dig into a child’s shoulders and affect circulation and nerves. The heavy load danger is not just for kids 12 and under. Middle and high school are at risk, too. They are carrying heavier books home daily.

Luckily, back pain created by backpacks is preventable. Parents should talk to their kids about lightening the load. You can even use a bathroom scale. The backpack should not weigh more than 10 percent to 15 percent of your child’s weight. If your child weighs 80 pounds, the pack should not weigh more than 8 to 12 pounds. If your child weighs 140 pounds, the pack should not be heavier than 21 pounds. Most importantly, if your child talks about numbness or weakness in the arms or legs, contact a physician.

1.What do students’ backpacks reflect according to paragraph 2?

A.Their hobbies. B.Their styles.

C.Their characters. D.Their needs.

2.What is paragraph 3 mainly about?

A.Students’ heavy loads. B.Wearing backpacks incorrectly.

C.Dangers of heavy backpacks. D.Weight of heavy backpacks.

3.Which backpack is more suitable for a child weighing 100 pounds?

A.With wide shoulder straps weighing about 10 pounds.

B.With narrow shoulder straps weighing 16 pounds.

C.With wide shoulder straps weighing 20 pounds.

D.With narrow shoulder straps weighing 15 pounds.

4.Who are the intended readers of the text?

A.Children. B.Doctors.

C.Teachers. D.Parents.
