Who wants to carry a bulky bag to school? No children. Nobody wants one shoulder to be lower than the other, and paining（疼痛）too. In India, most of us would look at the reduction（減少）of textbooks as a way out. But in a country like America, there are always more choices. A company called goReader has created a "school bag" which is the size of a laptop computer（筆記本電腦）, weighing about 2.5 kg. The goReader has a color screen and can "hold" all the textbooks that a student may need, says a report in ’The Asian Age’ newspaper.
The company plans to work closely with the publishers（出版商） of textbooks so that these books can be supplied on the Internet. All the students will have to do is to download（下載） their textbooks. Making notes and marking important parts of a lesson can be done just as lots of students have done on their textbooks before.
At present, the plan is being tested out in a university. Richard Katzmann, the owner of the company is having his creation tested at Chicago’s DePaul University, where he studied. Does that mean it is goodbye to the new paper, and the smell of the black ink?
小題1:What does the underlined word “bulky” in the first line mean?
A．lightB．smallC．big and heavyD．old
小題2:What would Indians do to solve（解決）the problem?
A．They would reduce the textbooks.B．They would tell the parents to help students.
C．They would tell the teachers to help students.D．They would take students to school by bus.
小題3: The writer may think that Americans have a ________ way to solve the problem.
A．more stupidB．worseC．betterD．quicker
小題4:The goReader may be a machine ________.
A．that can work as a teacherB．that can be used as textbooks
C．that can cheat studentsD．that can hurt students
小題5:When the new machine is used, it is possible that ________.
A．students might study harder
B．students might study at home
C．students might not need teachers
D．students might study without paper textbooks

小題1:C

   Many people are so busy these days that they have no time to cook at home. This becomes a problem because most families love home cooking!

Why play games? Because they are fun, and a lot more besides. Following the rules, planning your next move, acting as a team member------these are all “game” ideas that you will have throughout your life.
Think about some of the games you played as a young child, such as rope-jumping and hide-and-seek. Some games are entertaining and fun. But perhaps more importantly, they translate life into exciting dreams that teach children some of the basic rules they will be expected to follow the rest of their lives, such as taking turns and teamwork.
Many children’s games have a practical side. Children around the world play games that prepare them for work they will do as adults. For example, some Saudi Arabian children play a game called bones. It can be very helpful to exercise their hands and eyes, which is needed in hunting.
Many sports encourage national or local pride. The most famous games of all, the Olympic Games, bring athletes from around the world together to take part in the friendly competition. People who watch the event wave flags, knowing that a gold medal is a win for a whole country, not just the athlete who has got it. For countries experiencing natural disasters or war, an Olympic win can mean so much.
Sports are also an event that brings people together. Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. People on all continents play it------some for fun and some for a living. Nicolette Iribarne, a Californian soccer player, has discovered a way to spread hope through soccer. He set up an organization which can provide poor children with not only soccer balls but also a hopeful future.
Next time, when you play your favorite game or sport, think about why you enjoy it, what skills are needed, and whether these skills will help you in your life.
小題1:The underlined part “translate life into exciting dreams” in Paragraph 2 most probably
means that games can ________.

D．teach children something useful and important
小題2:What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A．The whole country.

A．It means a lot for a whole country.
B．It proves how excellent the winners are.
C．It helps the country out of natural disasters.
D．It brings the winners satisfaction and money.
