七、阅读理解。
(A)
Is your schoolbag too heavy to carry? The e-schoolbag can help you. In fact, the e-schoolbag should be called the e-textbook. It is a small computer for students. Heavy schoolbags are not good for them. But the e-schoolbag will change everything. It is light and small, but it can hold all the things for study, like textbooks and exercise books. There are some chips (芯片) inside the e-schoolbag. Students can put the right chip into it and read the textbook on the screen. They can also use it to take notes or send emails to teachers. Some people say the e-textbook is good for students’ study, but some people worry it is not good for their eyes. I think the e-schoolbag will become more and more popular in the future.

Smart City Life
Now smart technology changes every part of our daily life, from traffic, sports, school to home. Let’s see a day of Xinxin in a smart city.
Xinxin takes a self-driving robotaxi to school every morning. The taxi runs quietly and safely. She only needs to scan her face to get into the school building. After school, she runs on a smart park lane. When she finishes running, the big screen shows her speed and heart rate data right away.
When the sun goes down, smart street lights turn on by themselves. At home, Xinxin talks to her tablet PC to learn about smart cities in other countries. In London, people use a special app to find clean-air walking roads. In New York, the city opens all its public data to people, so everyone can check tree names and park information on phones.
Smart tools bring us easy and fast life, but we should also protect our personal information when we use them online.

Technology Makes Our Life Better
Last Sunday, I visited a science exhibition with my classmates. We saw AI robots and smart machines there.
Technology brings great changes. It makes our daily life much easier. We can shop online and take high-speed trains to travel fast. AI tools also make our study more interesting.
I hope scientists will create more great smart products in the future. I will study hard and invent useful things myself.
