B This year, Sichuan schools decide to start morning classes an hour later. This will help students feel less tired. And most junior high schools will begin the first class at about 8:30 a.m. The students are happy about the change. Liu Ming told us that his class was excited by the news on the first day of school. “Great! From now on we students at Chengdu No. 4 Middle School don’t have to get up so early!” Liu said that he used to get up at 6:40 a.m. Now he can get up at 7:40 a.m because class doesn’t start until 8:40 a.m. Wu Hongli feels the same. She said the new timetable was good for her health. “I used to get up at 6:30 a.m. I had to drink coffee every night, or I would feel too sleepy to finish my homework.” Said Wu. “Now I can finish it without coffee. Because I can sleep a little longer.” Many teachers say the change will help students learn better. “ Students used to doze for the first two classed in the morning.” said Huang Shan, an English teacher at Chengdu No.12 Middle School. “But now they are active in class and learn much better than before.” But some parents are worried that more sleep will mean less learning. There used to be five classes in the morning. Now there are only four. In fact, every coin has two sides. So does the change in the school timetable. 1.

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 get up the stairs with my backpack, because it’s too heavy.” Oberlin is among students whose backpacks were weighed for a week in a recent study. They had regular backpacks with two straps 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 Doctor’s suggestion: Lighten the load. Clean out binders and take home only the books you need that night. Wide straps are better. They send out the weight over your shoulders more evenly. And be sure to wear both straps rather than hanging the pack over one shoulder. Pack smart. The heavier things should be packed closed to the back. Bend both knees when you pick up the pack, and don’t just bend over at the waist. 1. “__________” is the main idea of the text. A. The problem of backpacks is worth studying B.
