You can’t always predict a heavy rain or remember your umbrella. But designer Mikhail Belvacv doesn’t think that forgetting to check the weather report before heading out should result in you getting wet. To protect people from the rain, he created lampbrella, a lamp post with its own rain sensing umbrella.
The designer says he comes up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia. “Once, I was driving on a central Saint Petersburg street and saw the street lamps lighting up people trying to hide from the rain. I thought it would be all right to have a canopy(傘蓬)built into a street lamp.” he said.
The lampbrella is a street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy. It has a built-in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella in need. Sensors(傳感器)then make sure that the umbrella offers the walkers whenever it starts raining.
In addition to the rain sensor, there’s also a 360° motion sensor on the street lamp which finds out whether anyone’s using the lampbrella. After three minutes of not being used the canopy is closed.
According to the designer, the lampbrella would move at a low speed, so as not to cause harm to the walkers. Besides, it would be grounded to protect from possible lightning strike. Each lampbrella would offer enough protection for several people. Being fixed at 2 meters off the ground, it would only be a danger for the tallest of walkers.
While there are no plans to take lampbrella into production, Belyacv says he recently introduced his creation to one Moscow Department, and insists this creation could be fixed on my street where a lot of people walk.
小題1:Who designed lampbrella?
小題2:Why did Belyacv create lampbrella?
小題3:How soon is the the canopy closed if it’s not being used?
小題4:Would each lampbrella offer enough protection for only one person or several people?
小題5:What is the main idea of the passage?

小題2:To protect people from the rain.
小題3:After three minutes.
小題4:For several people.
小題5:Why Belvacv creates the lampbrella and how the lampbrella works.

小題4: 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。 Would each lampbrella offer enough protection for only one person or several people? 句意：將每個(gè)“路燈雨傘”提供足夠的保護(hù)只是一個(gè)人或幾個(gè)人？

Mark Twain was the pen name of Samuel Langhorne Clemens. He was born on November 30, 1835, in a small town in Florida, the USA. He grew up with a few naughty boys who later appeared in his stories. Perhaps you are familiar with some of his books, as The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. At the age of 12, his father died, and he began to work, first as a printer, then a pilot on a river boat. Those years on the boat went into his book Life on the Mississippi.
During the Civil War he worked as a reporter and used Mark Twain as his pen name. The stories he wrote in this period made him famous and popular. He made a lot of money by writing, lecturing and running his own publishing house. But he spent all of it on his high living and unsuccessful business.
Mark Twain was known as a world-wide famous writer and a humorist, which means funny man. But in fact, he took a serious view of life. Many sad things happened in his own life. All his experiences helped to shape his stories which showed the dark side of the society. He died as an old man of 75 in 1910.  (200)
