3. （2020·洛阳市洛龙区·期中） 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. 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 can hardly 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 stop feeling 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. Hou suggests that a backpack should be no more than 15 percent of a child's body weight to keep away from pain or injury. That means if a student weighs 50 kg, the backpack should be less than 7.5 kg.
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 space and shared books so kids can carry fewer books.
(1) Why are hardcover school backpacks popular?
A．Because they are made in Japan.
B．Because they are quite expensive.
C．Because they help protect kids' spines.
D．Because they can perfectly fit into desks.

A．not have cushioned backs B．put pressure on shoulders

B．No more than 50 kg.
C．No more than 50 percent of a child's body weight.

A．how to choose good backpacks

My dear friends,
Reading is very important. We can get knowledge through reading. It can not only open our minds but also make us cleverer and happier. Our study can be improved if we read more good books. The more we read, the more we will learn, and the brighter our future will become.
However, some students spend much time in listening to music, watching TV or going online to play games. It takes much of their spare time.

Let's start reading now.
