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?

1.What does the underlined word “bulky” in the first line mean?

A. light                                 B. small                                C. big and heavy                D. old

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.

3. The writer may think that Americans have a ________ way to solve the problem.

A. more stupid                            B. worse                              C. better                              D. quicker

4.The goReader may be a machine ________.

A. that can work as a teacher                                      B. that can be used as textbooks

C. that can cheat students                                           D. that can hurt students

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

閱讀下面語言材料，根據(jù)要求作答。根據(jù)短文內容，判斷文后句子的正確(T)與錯誤（F）
“How are you?” is a nice question. It’s a friendly way that people in the U.S.A greet each other. But “How are you?” is also a very unusual question. It’s a question that often doesn’t need an answer. The person who asks“ How are you?” hopes to hear the answer “Fine”, even if the person’s friend isn’t fine. The reason is that “How are you?” isn’t really a question and “Fine” isn’t really an answer. They are simply other ways of saying “Hello” or “Hi”.
Sometimes, people also don’t say exactly what they mean. For example, when someone Asks “Do you agree?”, the other person might think, “No, I disagree. I think you’re Wrong...”But it isn’t very polite to disagree so strongly, so the other person might say “I’m not sure.” It’s a nicer way to say that you don’t agree with someone.
People also don’t say exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking with other people. For example, many talks over the phone finish when one person say “I’ve to go now.” Often, the person who wants to hang up gives an excuse: “Someone’s at the door.”“Something is burning on the stove.” The excuses might be real, or not. Perhaps the person who wants to hang up simply doesn’t want to talk any more, but it isn’t polite to say that. The excuse is more polite, and it doesn’t hurt the other person.
Whether they are greeting each other, talking about an idea, or finishing a talk, people don’t say exactly that they are thinking. It’s an important way that people try to be nice to each other, and it’s part of the game of language.
【小題1】“How are you?” is another way of saying "Hello." or" Hi."
【小題2】It is polite to say" No. I disagree I think you are wrong, "if you don’t agree with others.
【小題3】When someone says "I have to go now "On the phone.it means he wants to go on talking.
【小題4】"Someone is at the door." may be an excuse for finishing a phone.
【小題5】Sometimes people don't say exactly what they are thinking about just because they try to be nice to each other.

After a quick breakfast, I went into the lecture(講座) hall in a hurry. A famous teacher was speaking to the students. He was holding up a $100 bill. Then he said to over 300 students, “ Who would like this $100 bill?” The students put up their hands at once. Then he said, “I am going to give this $100 bill to one of you, but first, let me do this.” He made the bill into a ball. Then he said, “Who wants it now?” The hands went back into the air. “Well,” he said, “What if I do this?” and he dropped it on the floor and stepped on it. He picked up the dirty bill and said, “Who still wants it?” Hands went back again into the air.

“My friends,” he said, “you have learned a valuable lesson today. No matter what I did to the $100 bill, you still want this bill. Many times in our life, we are dropped and stepped on.
