Are you carrying too much on your back at school? You’re not alone. Back experts(專家) in the USA are worried about that young students are having back and neck problems because they are carrying too much in their backpacks .
“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(固定的)backpacks with two straps(帶子) to carry them, but a number of students with heavy loads(負擔) 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% of their own body weight. A few students have had a good idea to lighten(減輕) the load: less homework.
Doctor’s suggestions:
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(腰).
小題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
小題2:From what Ebelin Reyes and Shirley Park said, we know______.
A．students like to carry heavy backpacks
B．students have to do a lot of homework
C．backpacks with wheels are bad for students
D．students have no time to play because of heavy backpacks
小題3:The underlined word “switch to” means______.
A．use forB．turn toC．catch upD．begin to use
小題4:According to the experts, it’s better for a student of 40 kilos to carry a backpack of ____ at most.
A．10 kilosB．8 kilosC．6 kilosD．7 kilos
小題5:If students follow the doctor’s suggestions, they______.
A．may do less homework
B．may feel their backpacks are lighter
C．can learn how to enjoy themselves
D．will know why to wear heavy backpacks

小題1:D
小題2:B
小題3:D
小題4:C
小題5:B

No one is born knowing how to study. You need to learn a few study skills and then practice them. Here are six ways of studying smartly.
Listen carefully in class. When you listen carefully in class and take good notes, you are starting learning carefully. Are you sitting next to a loud person? Is it hard to see the blackboard clearly? Tell your teacher or parents about this kind of problems.
Take food notes. Not sure how to take notes? Start by writing down what your teacher says or writes on the blackboard during class. Try your best to write clearly so you can read your notes later.
Plan ahead （提前作計劃）. It is bad to wait until Thursday night to study for Friday’s exam. You should plan ahead. Write down the date of your exam. You can plan what to do after school each day, and how much time to spend on each subject.
Break it up（拆開）。 When there’s a lot to study, it can help you to break things into units. If you have an exam on spelling words, break them up into five-word units and work on one or two different units each night.
Ask for help. Ask your teacher for help if you don’t understand something. If you’re at home, your mom or dad might be able to help.
Have a good sleep. A good sleep is good for your next day’s study.
小題1:How many ways to study smartly are there in the passage?

We use passwords(密碼)to keep our personal information secret and safe, but some passwords we use may not be as reliable as we think.
Splash Data, a computer security company, recently released a list of the 25 worst passwords of 2011.This list is based on the research of hackers’ files containing stolen passwords. According to the list, “password” is the worst and most common password. Many others on the list are numbers in order either forward (for example,1234) or backward. Letters on the keyboard in order, such as “qwerty” are also common, as well as some first names and animals. “Hackers can easily break into many accounts(賬戶) just by trying common passwords again and again, ” said Morgan Slain, CEO of Splash Data.
How can you make a strong password? It should be eight characters or more, with a mix of letters, numbers and symbols. One way to create a long and easy-to-remember password is to separate short words with spaces or numbers. Having safe passwords is necessary for surfing the Internet safely. But it’s not the only thing you must do to keep safety online. Here are some other web safety tips:
●Never give out information that will allow someone to find you offline. That includes your full name, address and phone number.
●Don’t include your real name as part of your online screen name.
●Never meet people you met on the Internet in person. If you insist on breaking this rule, meet in a very public place and consider taking an adult with you.
Top 10 worst passwords: 1.password   2. 123456    3. 12345678   4. qwerty    5. abc123

Sleep is like food for the brain. Enough sleep helps the body and brain grow and develop. However, many Chinese do not sleep well, and many do not pay enough attention to sleep.
The Chinese Medical Doctor Association released the 2013 China Sleep Quality Index (指數(shù)) on March 19 to mark World Sleep Day – March 21.
According to the index, nearly a quarter of Chinese people don’t sleep well. Half said that they feel tired after getting up and 15 percent people have trouble falling asleep.
Ye Jingying, a sleep expert at Beijing Tongren Hospital, says: “If people often wake up during the night, or always feel weak and tired in the day, they should pay attention to their sleep pattern (模式).”
Many people play with their cell phones or iPads before sleeping. The report said that this is one of the main reasons for bad sleep. Other reasons include stress and bad moods.
How to sleep well? Above all, get enough sleep. Seven to nine hours of sleep every night is perfect for an adult, and eight to nine hours is best for a teenager.
Forming good sleep habits is important. The report suggested that people need to keep away from digital devices (數(shù)碼產(chǎn)品) for at least an hour before sleep. The lights keep their brains excited for a long while. Other suggestions include: try to go to sleep and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends and during holidays, and do the same relaxing things before bed each night, like listening to soft music.
小題1:From Paragraph 1, which of the following is NOT true?
A．The longer you sleep, the better.
B．Many Chinese people don’t sleep well.
C．Many Chinese people don’t care about sleep.
D．Sleep is very important for our body and brain.
小題2:Which of the following means that you sleep well?
A．You feel tired after getting up.
B．You can fall asleep within 20 minutes.
C．You wake up several times during the night.
D．You often do something boring until you feel sleepy.
小題3:From the article, which of the following may NOT cause sleeping problems?
A．Reading a book late at night.
B．Having sad or angry feelings.
C．Playing with digital devices before sleeping.
D．Being under strong stress about their life or work.
小題4:Which of the following helps teenagers sleep well?
A．They should do different things before sleeping.
B．They should sleep for more than nine hours a day.
C．They should not use any digital devices during the daytime.
D．They’d better go to sleep and get up at the same time every day.

At a nation’s saddest moment, its greatest heroes are born.
　　On September 11th, 2001, many police officers and government officials in America worked day and night to save lives from the big fire at the World Trade Centre. And in Japan, after the serious earthquake, a group of workers showed their courage.
　　The earthquake on March 11th made Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant(福島核電站) turn off and stop its protective cooling systems. And later, a fire broke out.  Workers were told that the plant’s radiation(輻射) could be harmful to human health. Hundreds of workers left the plant quickly. However, a group of workers decided to fight against the fire and the damage, though they knew it could cause very serious health problems. There were 50 workers in all, so they were also named the "Fukushima 50". The workers worked in shifts(輪班).
　　People knew little about the workers, who were mainly experts (專家) with the skills to control the situation. One woman said that her father had volunteered to stay there. “I heard that he volunteered even though he would retire(退休) in just half a year and my eyes were filled with tears. I am really proud of him. And I pray for his safe return.”
