    Are you carrying too much on your back to school? I'm sure lots 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 about that younger and younger students are having 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 Rich Hammond, an 11-year-old

student in the US.

    Rich is among students who have common school bags with two straps to carry them, but many other

choose rolling (转动的) bags.

    But even with rolling bags, getting up stairs and houses is still a problem for children. Many of them have

hurt 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.

    Scott Bautch, a black 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 that they will be reading at

night. Some teachers are using pieces of paper or thin workbooks for students to take home.

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

Questions 9-18


·Read the following passage and answer questions 9-18.
1. When Christopher Columbus landed on America’s shores, he encountered copper-shinned people whom he promptly called "Indians". Current estimates indicate that there were over a million Indians inhabiting North American then. There are approximately 800,000 Indians today, of whom about 250, 000 live on reservations.
2. The early settlers had an amicable relationship with Indians, who shared their knowledge about hunting, fishing, and farming with their uninvited guests. The stereotyped stealthy, wicked Indian of western movies are created by different faithless white man; the Indian was born friendly.
3. Disgust developed between the Indians and the settlers, whose encroachment on Indian lands provoked an era of turbulence. As early as 1745, Indian tribes joined together to drive the French off their land. The French and Indian war did not end until 1763. The Indian had succeeded in destroying most of the settlements. The British, superficially submissive to the Indiana, promised that further migrations west would not extend beyond a specified boundary.
4. Vacated from their lands or, worse still, frankly giving their property to the whites for few baubles, Indians were ruthlessly pushed west. The battle in 1876 at Little Horn river in Montana, in which setting Bull and the Sioux tribes massacred General Custer’s cavalry, caused the whites intensify their campaign against the Redman. The battle at Wound Knee, South Dakota, in 1890 put an end to the last vestige of hope for amity between Indians and whites.
5. Although the Bureau of lndian affairs has operated since 1842, presumably for the purpose of guarding Indians "interests", Indian on reservations lead notoriously deprived lives. In recent times Indians have taken a militant stand and appealed to the courts and the American people to improve their substandard living conditions.
