On one hand, some workers described him as a strange, bad-tempered (坏脾气的) boss. They said he was impatient with those who disagreed with him or didnt understand his ideas.

Youre 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. “Its hard to get up the stairs with my backpack, because its too heavy.”Oberlin is among students whose backpacks were weighed for a week in a recent study.They had regular backpacks with two straps (带子) to carry them, but a number of students with heavy loads（负荷）had switched to rolling backpacks ，which have wheels（轮子） 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. (附) Doctors suggestions: Lighten the load. Clean out binders (活页材料) and take home only the books you need that night. Wide straps are better. They send out the weight over your shoulders more evenly (均匀). 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 dont just bend over at the waist (腰).61. “_” is the main idea of the text.A. The problem of backpacks is worth studyingB. The problem made by heavy backpacksC. What is the best backpack for a studentD. How to make students backpacks light62. According to Oberlin Reyes and Shirley Park, we can guess _.A. students have to do much homeworkB. students like different kinds of backpacks C. backpacks without wheels are bad for studentsD. too much homework leaves students no free time63.

According to the passage, its better for a student of 40 kilograms to carry a backpack of _ at most by the words of experts.A. 6 kg B. 7 kg C. 8 kg D. 10 kg65. If students follow the doctors suggestions they _.A. may take off their backpacks B. can learn how to help themselvesC. may feel their backpacks are lighterD. will know how to wear backpacks 第二部分 ：(非选择题，共60分) （答案务必写到答题纸上）B 任务型阅读 (共10小题；每小题1分，计10分)阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，完成表格中所缺信息，每空一词。When I was a little girl, something terrible happened to me.
