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(减少) 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, weighing about 2.5kg. The Goreader has a colour 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 of test books so that these books can be supplied on the Internet. All the students will have to download 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 newspaper, and the smell of the black ink?What does the underlined word “bulky” in the first line mean?
A.light | B.small | C.big and heavy | D.old |
What would Indians do to solve this 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. |
The writer may think that Americans have a ______ way to solve the problem.
A.more stupid | B.worse | C.better | D.quicker |
The Goreader may be a machine ________.
A.that can work as a teacher |
