　　Is your schoolbag too heavy to carry? The e-schoolbag will help you．In fact, the e-schoolbag should perhaps be called an e-textbook．It is a small computer for students．Heavy schoolbags have been a serious problem for them for a long time．But the e-schoolbag will change everything．

　　It is much lighter than a usual schoolbag．Also, it is as small as a usual textbook, an exercise book and so on．They can be made into chips that are as small as a stamp．The students can read the text page by page on the “screen”, take notes, or even send e-mails to their teachers．All they have to do is to put the right chip into the e-schoolbag and press the button．

　　It is said that e-schoolbags have been put into use in some Chinese middle schools．In 2012, some students in Shanghai started to use e-schoolbags in the new term．Some say that e-textbooks can be easily broken．Some say it is not good to students' eyes．But only time will tell us all．

　　I still remember my first night as a young policeman．

　　It was a cold and wet night．Over the radio came the message to deal with an accident in one of the side streets of the city．The scene of the accident wasn't far away and we arrived after 10 minutes．Two cars had crashed．Two women were lying on the street and one driver was still in the car．The driver was quite drunk(喝醉)and kept shouting to us．He didn't get badly hurt．A young woman died at once when the two cars crashed．I was holding the other woman and tried to stop the bleeding, but at last I had to watch her die in my arms．

　　Three months later, I saw the driver in court and found him to be a normal person．He was sorry for his actions．In the end, he was put into the prison for several years．A man isn't a man if he drinks 10 beers in an hour．A man is a man when he knows his limit and takes responsibility(責任)．When he can stay away from wine, he can drive more safely．

　　The White House has been home to forty-three presidents．America's first president, George Washington gave advice on the building process which began in 1792．But he never lived there．John and Abigail Adams became the building's first family in 1800．Since then, the White House has experienced many changes．And each presidential family has left its own historical mark on America's most famous house．

　　First go to the West Wing of the White House, and we can see the Oval Office．It is where the president works and meets with his advisers．The president receives guests, that is, important visitors in the Blue Room．And the State Dining Room can hold one hundred and forty people for official dinners in honor of foreign leaders．

　　The second and third floors are the family's areas．When it is cold outside, the president and his family can warm up near one of the fireplaces．And when it is hot outside, they can swim in the outdoor pool．The White House offers a lot of things to do for entertainment．The first family can watch a movie in the small theater, or play ping-pong in the family game room．

　　The White House's newest comer, Barack Obama, is a big fan of basketball．He is said to be considering building an indoor basketball court．The Obama family recently added an outdoor playground for their two young daughters．It has a swing set, a climbing section, a slide and a tire for swinging．The Obamas can also play tennis on a court on the South Lawn, hit a few golf balls(高爾夫)on the putting greens or run around the jogging path．

　　Computers can help many workers．They can also help thieves．There was one thief who worked in a bank of the United States．He paid for everything he needed by check(支票)．Then he told the computer not to take any money from his account for the checks he wrote．The bank's computer did what he said．And it did not take any money from his bank account．One day the computer broke down．People had to do the computer's work．They soon found out what was happening．

　　Another thief, who worked for a bank saw people filling in deposit forms(存款單)．Many of these people did not know their account numbers, so they wrote only their names on the forms．They left empty places for their account numbers．The thief wrote his own account number in this place．When the computer read these forms it looked only at the account numbers．It did not look at the customers' names．It paid the money on these deposit forms into the thief's account．

　　Then there was the bank worker who told the bank computer to take ten cents(美分)off every customer's account each month and put it into his own account．For a long time the bank's customers did not notice that they were losing ten cents every month．But then someone did notice and told the bank．That was the end of that little game!

　　No one really knows how much computer crime is costing the banks, but some people believe it is millions of dollars a year．

　　Fred liked playing tricks on others．One afternoon he went to a shop and bought some bread．On his way home he saw Johnson, an old man about sixty riding a donkey(驢)．The boy walked to the old man and decided to play a trick on him．He thought for a moment and then he had an idea．

　　“Hello, my friend,” Fred said in a loud voice．“Please come and have a piece of bread．”

　　“Thank you very much．” Johnson got off the donkey and said gladly．” “But I have already had lunch．”

　　“I'm sorry．I'm talking to your donkey, not to you．” Fred said with a smile．

　　Johnson understood at once that the boy was playing a trick on him．He became angry, but he didn't show his anger．He just turned quickly to his donkey, held up the lash(鞭子)and hit it on the back．

　　“Before we set off, I asked if you had fiends in the town．You said again and again that you hadn't．Can you explain why the young man asked you to have the bread, then?”

　　The more the old man said, the less he could control his anger．He finally shouted, “I'll beat you to death if you dare fool me again!”

　　Hearing this, Fred's face turned red and he left away quickly．

　　We have always been interested in the moon．2000 years ago people already knew it moved around the earth and where it would be in the sky at different times of the year．At that time, everything about the moon was learned by watching it carefully in the sky．

　　When scientists could use telescopes(望遠鏡)to study the moon more closely, their ideas began to change．They could see the moon was made of rocks．Most scientists thought moon rocks would be different from those on Earth．This was because they believed the moon had once been a planet that had been caught in the earth's gravity millions of years earlier．

　　In 1969 moon rocks were finally brought to the earth and studied．Much to their surprise, scientists found that, except for water, the moon and the earth were made of the same things．Once again new ideas were needed for this new information．

　　After years of study, most scientists now think that the moon was once part of Earth．They believe very early in its history, maybe 4 million years ago, something about the size of Mars hit Earth．This sent billions of rocks into space around our planet．These rocks slowly joined together and after many years became the moon．

　　In the future, even though our ideas about the moon may change again, we will still be interested in it．

Many people think that water will never be used up(用盡)because there are many rivers and lakes．And the rain can make us get enough fresh water．Also, we can dig wells(井)to find fresh water under the ground．In fact, it is wrong and dangerous to think so．In some areas, people fight(爭斗)for fresh water．There is little rain there all year round．Let's look around us．Some factories pour(倒)dirty water into rivers．And some people drop litter into rivers．We see polluted water here and there．We must do something to help people understand about preventing water from being polluted．It's never too late if we take action right now．
