Every school day, we use schoolbags to carry all of our things to school.【1】But have you ever thought about the history of the schoolbag?

In the Han Dynasty, when old-style private schools were opened, students used bamboo boxes to carry books to school.【2】. There were usually two or three layers（層）in the box. Kids put different things, like books, brushes, ink stones （硯）and paper in the boxes.【3】.For example, in The Legend of White Snake, Xu Shilin caries a bamboo box to the capital to take an exam. And in the movie The Chinese Ghost Story（倩女幽魂），the scholar Ning Caichen also carries a bamboo box.

Hundreds of years later, people developed a new kind of schoolbag called the budai, or “hip-pocket”. The budai was lighter than the bamboo box. With the founding of the People's Republic of China, military rucksacks （軍用帆布包）became popular.【4】Maybe they can tell you about their experiences of carrying them when they were in school.

A new style of schoolbags has been produced in recent years. Many of them have colorful and fashionable designs on them, such as pictures of cartoons or pop stars. And they are more comfortable to use. Some students pull wheeled bags filled with heavy textbooks and others carry backpacks【5】.

Schoolbags are still changing. Can you imagine what schoolbags will be like in the future?

A.Everyone at that time owned such a bag.

B.You can see the bamboo box in many TV shows.

C.We can't go to school without our schoolbags.

D.People consider the bamboo box to be the earliest schoolbag.

E.They are the most common seen schoolbags now.

F.They are a big part of our lives.

G.Ask your grandparents or parents about these bags.

The findings came from a study by scientists from Environment Agency Austria. The researchers followed eight healthy volunteers from different parts of the world. The volunteers wrote down what they ate for a week and then provided a stool sample（大便樣本）for testing.

Scientists found nine different types of plastic particles（ 顆粒）in the samples. “The smallest plastic particles are able to enter the bloodstream, the lymphatic system （淋巴系統(tǒng)）,and may even reach the liver（肝臟）”said Philipp Schwabl, who took part in the research.

However, the scientists aren't sure if this plastic is harmful to humans. They're not sure how the plastic got into the volunteers' bodies, either. But most of the volunteers said they drank from plastic bottles and also ate seafood that could include plastic from ocean pollution.

In fact, plastic is everywhere around us. Every year, about 8 million tons of plastic waste goes into the oceans. There, sunlight and waves break the plastic down to small particles. Most of the particles stay in the ocean. Others can spread into the soil and air. Could plastic in the air fall onto food and get into the human body?

According to USA Today, 90 percent of sea salt sold in the world includes plastic. And even some top water has been found to have plastic particles in it.
