— My car was stolen this morning.

The interesting story at the airport.

and look at the blackboard.

    Debbie and Simon are students. They have p jobs at a travel company. Simon can't understand why customers always choose Debbie instead of him. Mr. Yang r him that the problem may be the way he c. He tells Simon about b language. Debbie does it quite well: she h her head up; she always smiles and looks friendly. So customers go to her for h. But Simon looks down, never smiles, and doesn't turn his head t people. His g and expression don't make a good i on people. Then, Simon starts to s up straight and tries smiling at people.

    Are you carrying too much on your back at school? You're not the only one. 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 (带子) 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. (附) Doctor's suggestion:

    ① Lighten the load. Clean out binders (活页材料) and take home only the books you need that night.

    ② 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.

    ③ Pack smart. The heavier things should be packed closed to the back.

    ④ Bend both knees when you pick up the pack, and don't just bend over at the waist (腰).

Nice weather! to the park this afternoon?

Mr. Liu we should hand in the homework on time every day.
