School backpacks have been a hot topic in China recently. Some Chinese parents buy hardcover school backpacks from Japan, although they can be as expensive as 5,000 yuan, according to Chinese newspaper Urban Express. These backpacks are popular because the hard cover helps hold books in place. This can help kids keep their balance and protect their spines(脊柱). But it turns out that the bags can barely fit in the students’ desks.
A good backpack is important for children’s health. “It can relieve (减轻) pressure from the shoulders,” says Dr Rob Danoff from the US. He also says students need a backpack that’s made for the child’s size. Cushioned (加垫的) backs and shoulder straps (带子) will help them avoid pain.
However, the biggest problem for school backpacks is that they are too heavy, noted Hou Weiguang, a doctor in Chengdu. In China, students have many textbooks and exercise books. The weight makes many kids suffer from side-bending (侧弯的) spines, Hou said. He suggests that a backpack should be no more than 15 percent of a child’s body weight to avoid pain or injury.
Parents need to make sure their kids only carry what they need. Schools and governments need to help too, added Zheng Yongshun, an education official from Hong Kong. He said schools should offer locker (储物柜) space and shared books so kids can carry fewer books.
【1】Why are hardcover school backpacks popular?
A.Because they are quite expensive. B.Because they are made in Japan.
C.Because they can perfectly fit into desks. D.Because they help protect kids’ spines.
【2】According to Dr Rob Danoff, good backpacks should________.
A.be smaller than children B.put pressure on shoulders
C.have cushioned backs D.have shorter shoulder straps
【3】If a student weighs 50kg, how heavy should a backpack be?
A.More than 50kg B.Less than 50kg C.More than 7.5 kg. D.Less than 7.5 kg.
【4】The last paragraph is written to offer tips on________.
A.how to choose good backpacks
B.how to reduce the weight of backpacks
C.how to encourage students to share books
D.how to design lockers for students
【5】Where is the text most probably from?
A.a shopping advertisement B.A science magazine C.A shopping poster D.A guidebook

Grandpa moved in with us after Grandma passed away when I was 9. He came to Canada from China. I never spoke much Mandarin (普通话). Grandpa didn’t speak much English, but it didn’t matter.
One way we bonded was over a game of Monopoly (《大富翁》). He didn’t really understand the rules. But I don’t think it mattered. We always had a great time and a better relationship when we played the game.
I think of Grandpa when I play the trading card game Yu-Gi-Oh with my sons. I can’t keep track of all the spells and effects involved in this game. Truthfully, I don’t care if I win or lose these games. What matters is spending time with my children and making an effort to understand their interests.
I often think about my kids at how excitedly they explain rules and how they go easy on their old man. They’re growing up fast. I imagine it’s like how Grandpa felt when he played Monopoly with us.
Grandpa went for regular walks. He also spent his days sitting on the couch(长沙发)staring out the window and singing quietly. I often thought he was bored. But as I age, I find peace in taking moments to stare out a window. It is really great. Maybe I got that from him.
One of my biggest regrets is not spending more time with Grandpa. The night he passed away was the day before his 80th birthday. I felt very sad.
What I learned from my grandfather was to enjoy simple pleasures in life. Such as seeing the beauty in the colors of the rainbow, seeing a single leaf fall from a tree and playing Yu-Gi-Oh with my sons.
【1】What happened to the author and his grandfather during their game?
A.He grew impatient with his grandfather.
B.They enjoyed themselves at the game.
C.They learned to speak each other’s language.
D.His grandfather seldom had fun at the game.
【2】What’s the meaning of the underlined word “bonded” in Paragraph1?
A.保持联系 B.沟通交流 C.增进关系 D.加强理解
【3】What is the author thinking when he stares out a window?
A.How bored his father was at that time.
B.How much he misses his grandfather.
C.How difficult it is to be good parents.
D.How wonderful it is to feel peace at heart.
【4】According to the passage, which of the following statement is right?
A.The author can communicate well with his grandfather in English
B.The author can’t play Yu-Gi-Oh with his sons because he can’t keep track of all the spells and effects involved in this game
C.The author understand his grandfather better when he grows older.
D.The author spent a lot of time walking and sitting on the couch with his grandfather.
【5】What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this story?
A.To tell readers his grandfather’s life stories.
B.To show the influence that families have on kids.
C.To encourage readers to spend more time with families.
D.To share how his grandfather influenced him in some way.

How has technology made your life easier? When you go to a shopping mall, you can enjoy free Wi-Fi there. When you want to take a taxi, you can book one with your phone. 【1】 The idea of a smart city was first suggested by tech company IBM in 2010.【2】There are many examples in our lives, such as 5G networks and the “internet of things”, they are used to improve urban planning, save money and resources (资源), and make our lives more convenient.
Cities like Boston, Amsterdam and Copenhagen are already using smart technology to improve public services 【3】In Amsterdam, traffic is monitored(监测)and adjusted according to real-time data gathered from sensors around the city. There are fewer traffic jams.
Smart cities will allow us to save resources. By using sensors and 5G networks to check the usage of water, gas and electricity, city managers can figure out how to use these resources more efficiently. For example, water and gas pipes (管道) could remind repair workers when there is a leak (泄漏).【4】
Of course, it will take time to build the smart cities of the future. But since we’ve already seen successful examples, it won’t be long until more cities join in. 【5】
A.In the US cities of Boston, smart trash bins can sense how full they are and tell workers when they need to be cleaned.
B.In fact, all of these things can be seen as the first building blocks of a smart city.
C.Tech Republic estimates(估计)that by 2050, about 60 percent of people worldwide will live in smart cities.
D.Air pollution could be more closely monitored, too.
E.A smart city is a city that uses digital (电子的) technology.
