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

We each have a memory（記憶力）. That’s why we can still remember things after a long time. Some people have very good memories and they can easily learn many things by heart, but some people can only remember things when they say or do the again and again. Many of the great men of the world have got surprising memories.A good memory is a great help in learning languages.

Everybody learns his mother language when he is a small child. He hears the sounds, remembers them and then he learns to speak. Some children are living with their parents in foreign countries. They can learn two languages as easily as one because they hear， remember and speak two languages every day. In school it is not so easy to learn a foreign language because the pupils have so little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects, too.

任務(wù)型閱讀

閱讀下面的短文，并完成短文后的任務(wù)。

Playing is serous business for children. In fact， it’s what they do best! Ask them why they do it， and kids will probably say， “Because it’s fun!” But it’s much more than that. It’s also good for them.

78）Studies show that from birth babies begin learning through play. They use their five senses to get know their new world. Touching allows them to discover how different things feel. Brightly colored toys and clothing help develop a baby’s sense of sight(視覺).

When small children choose which toy to play with， they begin developing their abilities in making decisions.

Children love toys that allow them to use their imagination. Sometimes an empty box is more fun than a high-tech toy. That’s because a box can become anything a child imagines it to be.

Crayons， paints and Play-Doh (彩色塑泥) are also good because they allow children to crate. Traditional building blocks teach important pre-math skills like problem-solving.

79）Playing doesn’t become any less important once children start school. Many valuable(有價(jià)值的) lessons about life are learned on the school playground. Kids learn how to share， take turns and play by the rules.

（一）根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容簡要回答問題。

1.What can children do best in their childhood?

_________________________________________________________.

2.What kind of toys do children love?

_________________________________________________________.

（二）將短文中劃線的句子譯成漢語。

3._________________________________________________________.

4._________________________________________________________.

In the UK, bus journeys are very common. Buses are often convenient（便利的）for the people who live or work in the city center. Passengers can avoid heavy traffic and not have to pay for the parking. However, taking the bus is just a necessary but boring part of life: they get on the bus, pay for it and sit or find a place to stand when it is crowded. Everyone seems sad and bored.

In Latin America, however, bus trips can be wonderful. For a start, films are showed on the buses between cities for passengers to have fun along the journeys. Local buses do not show films, but drivers usually turn on the radio and it can be great for passengers to listen to songs and get relaxed.

Even better than films and music are the sights and sounds on the buses. Local buses always go to parts of the town that passengers would not visit by themselves. There passengers can see shops that they have never heard about. And they can also see other cultures of the town from the windows of the buses.

Besides, passengers’ luggage（行李）is also interesting. It is common to see a happy dog’s head getting out of somebody’s bag or a lovely chicken “speaking cheerfully” under somebody’s arm. Once on a bus in Peru, a farmer even tied a sheep to the top of the bus. It was quite surprising.

In all, taking the bus in Latin America is really fun and unforgettable.

1.According to the passage, in the UK, how do passengers probably feel on the buses?

2.In Latin America, how can people have fun on the buses between cities?

3.In the writer’s opinion, what are even better than films and music on the buses?

4.Why does the writer think passengers’ luggage is interesting?

5.What does the passage mainly tell us?
