DEAR READERS.

Happy birthday to us! TIME magazine's first issue（期刊）came out on March3, 1923. Sure, 96 isn't the most special birthday, comparing with the 100th birthday. But we take every opportunity（ 機(jī)會(huì)）to celebrate. TIME for Kids came along just a little bit later, in 1995. Soon, we will have our 25th birthday!

We have run our Kid Reporter program for many years. Many kids who took part in the program as a reporter are professional journalist（職業(yè)記者）now. While they were working with TFK, they caught some great opportunities, like interviewing political leaders, famous people, Olympic athletes, scientists, and more.

Do you dream of being a reporter? Come and join us! On March 15, we will hold our annual（一年一度的）competition to find our next group of TIME for Kids Reporters. Editors from TFK will choose 10 best students.

I hope you will have a chance to report for our magazines and websites during the 2019﹣2020 school year.

All the best,

【題目】

Many years ago，people depended on the sun，the moon and stars to find their way around. Later，the compass was introduced. And now，we have satnav(衛(wèi)星導(dǎo)航)systems to guide us.

A satnav system uses groups of satellites to show the user's location. They send information to the receiver，such as a smart phone，to show us where we are.

The earliest built satnav system is the Global Positioning System(GPS)，which belongs to the US. Then there is Russia's Global Navigation (導(dǎo)航) Satellite System(GLONASS)，the European Union's Galileo and China's own satellite navigation system—BeiDou.

On October 14，2017，an ARJ21700 plane，which was the first plane made in China，with the BeiDou navigation system，successfully completed a test flight. The results showed the performance of the system developed by China matches that of similar systems produced abroad，according to the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China.

Since its introduction in 2000，the BeiDou navigation system has seen an increasing number of applications linked to everyday life，from shared bikes to farming. For example，smart locks with BeiDou chips make it easier to find a bike. Farmers can use BeiDou to help plow(犁)the soil and sow seeds. BeiDou's farming applications have spread to most parts of China.

With its many uses，the Beidou navigation system is even playing a big role in the Belt and Road Initiative(一帶一路).“To date，the BeiDou system has covered most parts of the Asia-Pacific area”，said the main designer of the BeiDou system.

Today，there are more than 20 BeiDou satellites above the earth，and China plans to send even more this year to expand(擴(kuò)展)the BeiDou network to better serve the Belt and Road Initiative. As BeiDou expands abroad，it will be increasingly popular in the logistics(物流)industry.

【題目】

You think it's "cool" to carry your backpacks and head out to school. But if you don't know exactly how to choose, load, lift and wear them-these all-important accessories（配件）can be a pain in the back. Not to mention the neck, head and shoulders.

Backpacks can influence your health. Carrying a heavy load improperly can lead to poor body position; and even hurt the spinal column(脊柱）This can cause muscle strain, headaches, back, neck and arm pain.

For example, if it is carried on one shoulder; a heavy backpack forces the muscles and spine to balance the unequal weight. This may increase the possible back problems later in life.

More than 50 percent of young people suffer back pain by their teenage years. Research shows that this could be mainly caused improper use of backpacks.

Here's some advice to help you carry backpacks comfortably and safely.

Choose the right backpack. Forget leather（皮革）! It looks great, but it's far too heavy. Go for canvas（帆布）. Pick a pack that has two wide, adjustable, comfortable shoulder straps（帶子）, along with a hip or waist strap, and plenty of pockets. Make sure the pack fits properly and its size is suitable for the wearer's body.

Packing it properly. Only put in the pack what is needed for that day. It's a good idea to know what each object weighs. The total weight of the filled pack should be no more than 10 to 15 percent of the wearer's own body weight. Pack heaviest objects close to the body, and place little ones outside, away from the back.

Putting the backpack on. Put the pack on a smooth surface, at waist height. Put on the pack, one shoulder at a time, then adjust（調(diào)整）the straps to fit comfortably. Remember when lifting a backpack, or anything, to lift using the arms and legs and to bend at the knees.

The right way to wear a backpack. Both shoulder straps should be used, and adjusted so that the pack fits the body, without hanging to one side. Backpacks should never be worn over just one shoulder. You should be able to move your hands between the backpack and your back. The waist strap should also be worn.
