Is your schoolbag too heavy to carry? The e-schoolbag will help you.

It is said that e-schoolbags are going to be brought into use in Chinese middle schools soon. In fact, the e-schoolbag should perhaps be called an e-textbook. It is a small computer for students. Heavy schoolbags are a problem for them. But the e-schoolbag will change everything. It is much lighter than a usual schoolbag. Also it is as small as a usual book, but it can still hold all the things for study, such as a textbook, an exercise book and so on. They can be made into chips (芯片) 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 a button (按钮).

Some say that e-textbooks can be easily broken; some say it is not good to students' eyes. But only time will tell.

Once there was a parrot on sale in a pet store. It was a beautiful red and blue bird. It sat on a perch in the middle of the store, so that everyone could see it when they came in. The owner was very proud of it and asked a high price for it.

One day a man went into the store. “That's a beautiful bird,” he said to the pet store owner, “But why is it so expensive? Is it unusual bird?”

“No, it's not very unusual. It's expensive because it can talk,” the pet store owner said.

“I see. How can I make it talk?” the man asked.

The pet store owner asked him, “Do you see those string tied to each of the bird's legs?”

“Yes,” the man answered.

“Well, you pull those strings,” the pet store owner told him. “That will make the parrot talk.”

The man asked, “Do you mind if I try?”

“Not at all,” the pet store owner said.

The man walked up to the parrot and pulled the string on its left leg. The parrot said, “Good morning.”

The man pulled the string on the parrot's right leg. This time the parrot said, “How are you today?”
