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 go Reader has
created a "school bag" which is the size of a laptop computer (筆記本電腦), weighing about 2.5 kg. The
go Reader 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?

President (總統(tǒng)) George W Bush is visiting an elementary school today and visits one of the 4th grade classes. They are in the middle of a discussion(討論) of words and their meanings.
The teacher asks the President if he would like to lead the class in the discussion of the word“tragedy”. So the President asks the class for an example of a“tragedy”.
One little boy stands up and says,“If my best friend, who lives next door, is playing in the street and a car comes along and runs him over, that would be a tragedy.”
“No,”says Bush,“that would be an accident.”
A little girl puts up her hand,“If a school bus carrying 50 children drove off a cliff(懸崖), killing everyone in the bus, that would be a tragedy.”
“I am afraid not,”explains the President.“That is what we would call a GREAT LOSS(損失).”
The room goes quiet. No other children answer. President Bush looks around the mom.“Is not there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?”
At last, in the back of the room, a boy named Johnny puts up his hand. In a quiet voice he says,“If Air Force One, carrying you and Mrs Bush, was hit by a missile(導(dǎo)彈) and blown up to pieces, that would be a tragedy.”
“Right,”exclaims(大叫)Bush,“that is right, and can you tell me why that would be a tragedy?”
“Well,”little Johnny says,“because, as you just told us, it would not be an accident, and it sure as well would not be a great loss.”
