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 go Reader has
created a "school bag" which is the size of a laptop computer (笔记本电脑), 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 (下载) 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

seem to be getting them around age 12 or 13. Some younger kids may have them because their parents see
it as a matter of safety and convenience. For example, a kid can call mom and dad when sports practice is
over. And a cell phone can give kids almost instant access (快捷通道) to their parents if something goes
wrong or they need help. It can give parents quick access to their kids so they can check on them and
make sure they"re OK.
If you do get a cell phone, make some rules with your parents, such as how many minutes you"re
allowed to spend on the phone, when you can use your phone, when the phone must be turned off, and
what you will do if someone calls you too often, and so on.
You"ll also have to learn to take care of the phone in your life. Keep it charged (充电) and store it in the
safe place so it doesn"t get lost. And whatever you do, don"t use it in the bathroom. I know someone who
dropped her phone in the toilet!
