Later I thought the doctor should be in the house in the evening, so I went there once more. “Oh, how sorry I am! He’s not in! I’d better tell him to wait for you if you could come tomorrow.” said the nurse. “Well! He’s not up, he is not down, and he is not in. Please tell me where he stays!” I said angrily.

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 have been a serious problem for them for a long time. 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 (集成电路片) that are as small as stamps. 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.

Some say that e-textbooks can be easily broken; some say they are not good for students’ eyes. In fact, only time will tell who is right.

1.An e-schoolbag is ____________.

A. as heavy as a usual schoolbag. B. much heavier than a usual schoolbag

C. much lighter than a usual schoolbag D. not so light as a usual schoolbag

2.An e-schoolbag is _______.

A. a video chip B. a small computer C. a heavy bag D. a usual book
