Are you carrying too much on your back at school? You're not alone. Back experts (专家) in theUSAare 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 (通常的) backpacks with two straps (带子) to carry them,but a number of students with heavy loads (负栽物) have switched to rolling backpacks. The backpacks have wheels and can roll on the ground. Shirley Park's backpack weighs 10kilos,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 (减轻) the load: less homework.
Doctor's suggestions：
(1 ) 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 (弯曲) both knees when you pick up the pack. Don't just bend over the waist (腰).

When I was growing up in America,I was ashamed of my mother's Chinese English. Because of her English,she was often treated unfairly. People in department stores,at banks,and at restaurants did not take her seriously,did not give her good service,pretended not to understand her,or even acted as if they did not hear her.
My mother has realized the limitations (局限) of her English as well. When I was fifteen,she used to have me call people on phone to pretend I was she. I was forced to ask for information or even to yell (叫喊) at people who had been rude to her. One time I had to call her stockbroker (股票经纪人) .I said in an adolescent voice that was not very convincing, "This is Mrs. Tan."

And then,in perfect English I said, "I'm getting rather concerned. You agreed to send the check two weeks ago,but it hasn't arrived."
Then she talked more loudly. "What he want? I come to New York to tell him front of his boss. " And so I turned to the stockbroker again, "I can't stand any more excuses. If I don't receive the check immediately,I am going to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week."
The next week we ended up in New York. While I was sitting there redfaced,my mother,the real Mrs. Tan,was shouting to his boss in her broken English.
