Are you carrying too much on your back at school? Lots of kids(孩子) at the same age as you are. Not only are students in China 1 from this problem, but kids in the United States are 2 fed up with（飽受……之苦） heavy school bags.
Experts are starting to 3 that more and more young students are having back and neck problems as a result of school bags 4 too heavy for them. “It’s hard for me to get up the 5___ with my bag because it’s so heavy,” said Rich Hammond, 6 11-year-old student in the
But how much is too 11 ? Experts say students should carry 12 more than 10 to 15 per cent of their own body weight. Scott Bautch, a Wisconsin 13 doctor, said kids under 4th grade should 14 with 10 per cent. But it’s also important that older kids don’t go 15 15 percent, because their bones are still growing. Bautch explained that there are other injuries caused by backpacks. “Kids are 16 their balance and falling down with these backpacks,” he saiD.
Parents and teachers are starting to tell the kids to only take 17 library books they will be reading that night. Some teachers are using worksheets(作業(yè)紙) or 18 workbooks for students to take home. One of the best answers is, as some 19 themselves suggested, to have no homework 20 !

答案解析：
1. 選D。根據(jù)后面的also fed up with（也飽受……之苦）選定。
2. 選D。not only…but also系習(xí)慣搭配。
3. 選C。學(xué)生負(fù)擔(dān)重，是一個人人皆知的現(xiàn)象，無需專家指出，故排除A、B、D三個選項。
4. 選A。of后是一個介詞短語，故選非謂語動詞being。
5. 選B。由副詞up可排除另三個選項。
6. 選D。此處表示泛指，故用不定冠詞，又由于eleven以元音開頭，所以選擇an。
7. 選D。這里的regular等于usual，意為“正常的、通常的”。
8. 選B。前后意義在此形成轉(zhuǎn)折。
9. 選A。上文已呈現(xiàn)過這一說法，此外，另三個選項不能與bus搭配。
10. 選B。根據(jù)even選定。
11. 選C。 由主語中的much推定。
12. 選A。no more than意為“僅僅”。not more than意為“不超過”，須后接一個固定值，10 to 15表示的是一個區(qū)間，數(shù)值并不固定。
13. 選D。通過排除法選定。兒科醫(yī)生用baby doctor，所以A是不能選用的。
14. 選B。stay表示“堅持，承受”。另三詞后面不能用with。
15. 選C。 beyond意為“超出”。前面已交待過學(xué)生背負(fù)的重量應(yīng)在自身體重量的10%至15%之間，即不能“超出”15%。
16. 選C。背著背包跌倒的原因就是身體“失去”平衡。
17. 選A。第18空后再現(xiàn)了take home這一說法，此外，另三個詞是名詞，應(yīng)排除。
18. 選B。這里討論的是作業(yè)的量，而不是質(zhì)，故選thin。
19. 選D。全文談的是學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)負(fù)擔(dān)沉重的事，因此，由themselves ，我們首先聯(lián)想到的是kids。
20. 選A。at all在否定句中表示強(qiáng)調(diào)。

I consider myself something of an expert on apologies. A quick temper(脾氣) has 1 me with plenty of opportunities(機(jī)會) to make them. In one of my earliest 2 , my mother is telling me, “Don’t watch the 3 when you say ‘I’m sorry’. Hold your head up and look the person in the 4 , so he’ll know you 5 it.”
My mother thus made the key point of a(n) 6 apology: it must be direct. You must never 7 to be doing something else. You do not
One of the important things you should do for an 13 apology is readiness to 14 the responsibility(責(zé)任) for our careless mistakes. We are used to making excuses, which leaves no 15 for the other person to 16 us. Since most people are open-hearted, the no-excuse apology leaves both parties feeling 17 about themselves. That, after all, is the 18 of every apology. It 19 little whether the apologizer is wholly or only partly at fault: answering for one’s 20 encourages others to take their share of the blame.

13. A. active B. effective C. extra D. easy
14. A. raise B. perform C. admit D. bear
15. A. situation B. need C. sign D. room
16. A. advise B. forgive C. warn D. blame
17. A. wiser B. warmer C. better D. cleverer
18. A. purpose B. method C. end D. advantage
19. A. cares B. matters C. depends D. remains
20. A. facts B. states C. rights D. actions
答案解析：
1. 選A。provide … with意為“向……提供……”。
2. 選C。緊接著的就是作者回憶出來的內(nèi)容。
3. 選B。與后面提到的“要抬起頭”正好相反。
4. 選D。道歉時看著對方的眼睛，以示真誠，這一點在中西方文化是相同的。
5. 選C。mean it意為“這樣對方就會明白你有道歉的意思”。it在這里指道歉的行為。
6. 選B。冒號后的內(nèi)容即為“成功的”道歉的一些基本特征。
7. 選A。 pretend“假裝”。根據(jù)情景和常識選定。
8. 選C。其他三個選項不合語境。
9. 選D。職位一般論的是高、低。
10. 選A。fault“過錯（責(zé)任）”。turn out意為“后來證明是”。
11. 選C。roughly此處表示對待客人不禮貌，服務(wù)不到位。從前面的要不要道歉的討論可以猜出這一答案。
12. 選A。bad manners 意為不禮貌的行為，從treat roughly這一信息不難推測出這一答案。
13. 選B。effective與successful有異曲同工之妙。
14. 選D。bear the responsibility（承擔(dān)責(zé)任），系習(xí)慣搭配。
15. 選D。leave no room不留余地。
16. 選B。經(jīng)常找借口，那么也就會不留余地讓別人來“原諒”自己。
17. 選C。better表示“心情更舒暢”。未找借口的道歉，即真誠的道歉，對方的感覺一定很好。
18. 選A。道歉的最終“目的”是化干戈為玉帛，大家和好如初，所以用purpose。 end表示“目的”時用復(fù)數(shù)較多，而且不及purpose直接。
19. 選B。道歉者是全部還是部分承擔(dān)責(zé)任這些都不太重要：關(guān)鍵是為所作所為主動負(fù)責(zé)，這也能促使別人共同承擔(dān)責(zé)任。 根據(jù)語境不難排除另三個選項
20. 選D。根據(jù)行文邏輯應(yīng)該是對自己的“行動”負(fù)責(zé)。answer for在此意為“對……
負(fù)責(zé)”。
