Backpacks are lightweight and easy to carry.
They are great tools for students. They help you to stay organized. You can keep school things, books and personal items like cell phones and keys neatly (整洁地). With auniquebackpack, you can also stand out among your classmates. Tourists also love backpacks. With convenient backpacks, backpackers can move freely from one place to another. Meanwhile, they can also free their hands to do other things like taking photos. But in the very beginning backpacks were not what we see today.
It is thought that US hiker Dick Kelty invented the first modern backpack in 1951. He used nylon (尼龙) and aluminum tubing (铝制管型材料) to make backpacks lightweight. Then he added shoulder straps (带子) and waist straps to transfer(转移) much of the weight to the hips (臀部). Today, backpacks come in different styles.

16、Emma Watson, 26, brings her childhood Disney character to life. The British actress played the beautiful girl Belle in Disney’s new live-action movie Beauty and the Beast(野兽). She also sang for the role, the first time she has done so in her career. The movie came out in China on March 17. Originally an animation film, it tells how a cursed man-beast is changed into a handsome prince by the love of Belle.
To play the lead role in Beauty and the Beast, Watson turned down the offer of La La Land, which won six awards besides the Best Actress at this year’s Oscars. However, she does not regret it. She told Vanity Fair that she believes the movie says something that is important for people to hear.
This is not her first time being invited to play a Disney princess. She refused the offer to play Cinderella. But she happily took on Belle because she saw her as a better role model. Belle doesn’t mind Beast’s ugly appearance and sees his good heart within. “She remains curious, compassionate (有同情心) and open-minded,” she told Total Film. “She’s not easily swayed by other people’s ideas.”
But to build her own version of Belle, Watson had a hand in shaping the character. She wanted Belle to be busy instead of just playing in the castle all day. So she had the idea of turning Belle into an inventor, like her father. And Belle even made a washing machine herself, though people broke it. She wanted it to free girls from chores (杂务) and allow them to learn how to read. She told Entertainment Weekly that people who broke the washing machine was symbolic (象征的) of people who broke Belle’s spirit and pushed her to become the woman they wanted her to be. 1．According to the passage, what does the movie Beauty and the Beast tell us? A．The reason why the beast has an ugly appearance. B．Beauties always fall in love with the ugly beasts easily. C．Belle loves the beast and doesn’t care about his appearance. D．A cursed man-beast is changed into a handsome prince by love. 2．Why did Watson play the lead role in Beauty and the Beast? A．Because she refused to play Cinderella.
B．Because she had no chance to play in La La land. C．Because she saw Belle as a better role model.
D．Because she thought the movie was important for people. 3．Why did people break Belle’s washing machine? A．Because they thought the machine was useless.
B．Because they had an idea of turning her into an inventor.
C．Because they wanted to push her to be the woman they liked. D．Because they wanted her to be busy instead of playing in the castle. 4．Which may be the best title for this passage? A．A Disney’s Princess. B．More than a Beauty. C．Beauty and the Beast. D．A beauty’s love story.

17、 A teacher says music education in schools has kind of turned into amusement, Classroom lessons focus heavily on pop while understanding the classical （古典的）art form and its history should be paid attention to.
A professor in music and music education at the University of NSW, Robert Walker, argues that all students should study the works of Western classical composers such as Haydn and Tchaikovsky.
Professor Walker says students are missing out on an important part of the culture heritage （遗产）because they fail to study classical music, as the little music that children learn at school is mainly pop. The lack （缺乏）of music teaching is serious, especially in government schools where there are not enough specialist （专业的） music teachers.
A national review in 2005 made 15 suggestions, but Professor Walker said it still failed to deal with the lack of classical music taught in schools.
\"I'm not against pop music, but it's very simple, and not difficult either to play or to sing, \" Professor Walker says. \"But classical music is challenging and although it is part of Australia's culture heritage, most children learn it only through Hollywood films. \"
\"At least children ought to know what's happening in Western culture. It's part of culture heritage,\" he says. \"Asian students know more about Western classical music than most children in the West. \"
Professor Walker has taught music and music teachers in Britain, Canada and Australia and is a former chief （首席的）examiner for the International Baccalaureate and a former chairman of the research committee of the
International Society for Music Education. Professor Walker says no school curriculum （课程）in Australia lists a piece of music that children should study , such as the Mendelssohn's.
\"This lack of standard texts means that some children can be brought up totally on Western classical music, others on Elvis Presley, or on any music the teacher wants to teach. The situation should be changed as soon as possible, \" he says.
1．What's the problem in music education in Professor Walker's opinion? A．Children know nothing about their culture heritage. B．Classical music education isn't valued in schools. C．Pop music is simple and not difficult to play and sing.
D．Australian schools need more specialist music teachers.
2．According to the passage, students should study classical music because it is _____________ . A．part of culture heritage C．difficult to play and sing
B．good for their growing up D．popular only in Asia
3．According to the passage, which one is different from the other three? A．Haydn.
B．Tchaikovsky.
C．Mendelssohn.
D．Elvis Presley.
4．Which of the following statements is NOT true about Professor Walker? A．He worries about the music education in schools. B．He thinks pop music teaching shouldn't be allowed. C．He is well known in Western classical music teaching. D．He has worked in Britain, Canada and Australia.
5．From the last paragraph, we can learn that _____________ . A．music teachers should teach anything that they like B．most children today are brought up by their music teachers C．music teachers shouldn't teach the music of Elvis Presley at all D．children's music education today depends on their teacher 's taste

Best Tool to Teach Baby Talk
A new study says electronic toys are not helping babies learn. The study’s writer is Professor Anna Sosa. She leads the Child Speech and Language Lab at Northern Arizona University. She said, “Even if companies say that their toys are educational, they’re not teaching the babies anything at this time.” Anna Sosa and her team studied babies who were from 10 to 16 months old.
The scientists listened to recordings of parents playing with their babies. The children used electronic toys, traditional toys and books.
What they found is that parents talked less with their babies when the babies played with electronic toys. Sosa says that the parents also responded(反应) less and used fewer words when the babies played with electronic toys. Why is this important?
She says research shows that how quickly children develop language often depended on what they hear from parents. When the babies played with electronic toys, parents said little to their children. Sosa says parents talked a lot more when the babies played with traditional toys. Parents would describe the toys, name them and tell about their colors and
shapes, as their children played. Parents even gave more information as their babies looked at the pictures in books. Sosa is not telling parents to throw out electronic toys. She believes that these electronic toys can provide entertainment(娱乐) for the babies. But parents should not look at such play as a learning experience. Toy Industry Association spokeswoman Adrienne Appell responded to the study.
She said, “It is important that parents make time to play with their children. Playing is a way that kids can learn so much, not only learning skills, but social and developmental skills.” She added that play should be balanced, including time for just “make-believe” activities, as well as traditional and electronic toys. 1．（小题1）According to the study, electronic toys teach babies . A．a lot B．language C．colours D．nothing
2．（小题2）From this passage we can learn that . A．parents’ talk helps baby to learn language quickly B．playing with electronic toys is a kind of learning experience C．Sona advised parents to throw away electronic toys
D．parents talked more when the babies played with electronic toys 3．（小题3）What is the passage mainly about? A．A study on electronic toys. B．Babies’ different learning skills. C．A study on the tools to teach baby talk. D．The importance of traditional toys. Ⅴ.书面表达

Thanks for your letter. I'm glad you would like to be a volunteer. Now let me answer your questions.
I volunteer because I enjoy helping others and can learn a lot from others. As students, we can take part in some interesting activities, such as looking after animals and working for sports matches. Also, we can join charity organizations to help protect the environment and so on.
It’s OK to have problems, because volunteering takes much time and energy. Sometimes I can’t balance my study and work. If your parents don’t allow you to volunteer, you should have a good talk with them. Try to let them understand you.
I hope you love volunteering and do well in it. Looking forward to your good news. Best wishes David
