 Take an umbrella with you, ________ you’ll get wet. 

     A. and             B. but           C. or           D. so

You can’t always know when there’ll be a heavy rain or when to take an umbrella with you. But designer Mikhail Belyaev doesn’t think that forgetting to check the weather report before going out should cause you to get wet in the rain. That’s why he created the Lampbrella—a lamp post (灯柱)with its own “umbrella”.

The designer says he came 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 people trying to hide from the rain under the street lamps. I thought it would be a good idea to have a Lampbrella built into a street lamp.” he said.

The Lampbrella is a street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy(遮蓬). It has an inside electric motor(电动马达) which can open or close the umbrella freely. The Lampbrella will offer people cover whenever it starts raining. After three minutes of not being used the canopy is closed.

According to the designer, the Lampbrella would move at a very low speed in order not to cause harm to people. What’s more, it would be grounded to protect from a possible lightning hit. Each Lampbrella would offer enough cover for several people. Being 2 meters off the ground, it would only be a danger for the tallest man.

While there are no plans to take the Lampbrella into production(生产), Belyaev says he recently introduced his creation to one Moscow company, and insists his creation could be on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide cover.

1.According to the passage, for what purpose did Belyaev create the Lampbrella?

A. To know when there’ll be a heavy rain.

B. To check the weather report.

C. To protect people from the rain.

D. To remind people to take an umbrella.

2.What can we learn from Belyaev’s words in Paragraph 2?

A. His creation was encouraged by an experience.

B. It rains a lot in the city of Saint Petersburg.

C. Street lamps are protected by canopies.

D. He enjoyed taking walks in the rain.

3.What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A. The designer will open a company to produce his creation.

B. The Lampbrella could be put into production at once.

C. The designer is confident that his creation is practical.

D. The Lampbrella would be put on show in Moscow.

Hi Colin,
Glad to hear that you are going to have so many adventures in Africa. To make your trip more enjoyable, you should take some necessary things with you. You’ll need strong boots because you are going to  53  a lot.  54  is also necessary in case the weather is bad on Mount Kilimanjaro. A towel is also needed because you will get  55  when you go white-water rafting.
56  very important, too. You must take your tent, sleeping bags and so on. Also take a map of all the places  57  you will visit and a  58  so you don’t get lost. You will take some food and you’ll probably find water. Take care  59 , as you will need to take your water purifying tablets and place them in a pan when you boil the water. And remember to take a pocket knife to cut food or anything else when  60 .
Best wishes,
Jennifer
