A frog lived in a small well(井). He said to a turtle(乌龟)who lived in the East Sea, “I am so happy! When I go out, I jump out of the well.

I am the owner of this wall. My dear sir, why don’t you come over and look around my place?”

Then the turtle told the frog about the East Sea.

“You have no idea how large and how deep the sea is. In the past thousands of years, there were floods(洪水)for many years, the water in the sea didn’t become less.

These days, kids, even high school students go to school every day wearing their big backpacks. It looks a little funny, but is it dangerous?

Yes, it is. Dr. Karen Jacobs, a teacher at Boston University says, “Heavy backpacks can let your head ache.” Some kids are saying, “My back and my neck hurt.” Jacobs also says heavy schoolwork may be making backpacks bigger. A study said, “Heavy backpacks are the reasons for the sore back of children.” The same study said a full third of kids aged 11 to 14 have back problems. That is to say, they have been a health risk for kids.

“The children’s body is still developing, and putting too many things on their back could change their spine(脊柱),” says Rob Danoff, a doctor. He also says proper design is important. You want a backpack that’s made for your size. Soft straps(肩带) will also stop aches. Small roller (滑轮) bags are a choice.

How heavy is too heavy? A research shows that the backpack shouldn’t be heavier than 15% of a child. For that reason, Jacobs says it’s important that kids are carrying only what they need. Another tip is to put the heaviest things in the middle of the pack, closer to the back.

13. The second sentence in the first paragraph(段落) is to ________.
