At the age of 60, my father was hit by a car when he walked to a nearby supermarket to buy vegetables. After1for two months in hospital, he finally woke up. His waking up excited all our family. Unfortunately, he didn't know any of us. Doctors said his brain was hurt so2that he had lost all his memory. And his mental age(心理年龄) was only five. We were sorry to hear about the bad news.

    Since I was his only child, it was my3to look after him. He forgot almost everything, but he did remember he liked sweets. I used the sweets as a way of stopping bad behaviour. I would give him one sweet if he didn't sit on the ground, a second for stopping painting on the wall, and another for not trying to put clothes on the dog.

    Dad became the 4child in town. He climbed up the tree to catch a bird and couldn't get down after it flew away. He broke my window with a ball and cleaned our telephone in water like washing clothes. When I told him he was doing5things, he would answer smilingly, "I like that!"

    It is eight years since the accident. Dad has accepted the fact that he is the grandfather of my children but not a brother, He has also accepted that they grow taller but his6stays the same. Though it is still tiring to take care of him, he brings us a lot of fun. In some way I think it is a happy thing to look after dad like looking after a child. How many people can have the chance to care for a child-like parent?

do you go to see a film?

    Do you carry too much on the way to school or home? Don't worry. Try e-readers(电子阅读器) and say goodbye to your heavy schoolbag.

    An e-reader has them mspace to hold hundreds of books. So people want to throw away heavy schoolbags and read with small, le-readers. For example, Cushing Academy, a high school in Massachusetts, USA，replaced most of the 20,000 books in its library last summer. Teachers and students will ue-readers instead.

    Most e- readers are thin and w less than 500 g. They can download(下载) an e-book in sixty s. "It's so easy. You can have a lot of books right at your fingers!" said Meghan Chensusky, 16.

    Chinese school children are also trying e-readers. At the Shanghai World Expo (世博会), an e-schoolbag was on s. It is a special e reader. Students can use it to download textbooks from the school servers. It can also send and r homework. Some schools in Beijing and Shanghai have tried this e-schoolbag for a few years. "It's excellent. I don't have to carry a heavy schoolbag anymore," said Xiao Qi, 15, Beijing.
