阅读下列短文,根据短文内容,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选择最佳选项。

How often do you use your car? Can you use your car less often? Do you know the following facts in the UK?

    ·About 50% of all car journeys are just for fun.

    ·Over 80% people go to work by car.

    ·25% car journeys are under two miles.

    ·70% car journeys are under five miles.

WALKING & CYCLING

       Instead of using the car for short journeys, why not walk or ride a bicycle? Walking is the most popular form of exercise—it’s healthy and it can save money. If you work nearby, try walking or cycling instead of driving. Walking your children to school gives them valuable road experience.

BUSES

       Bus companies are using new buses: some run on new fuelswhich produce less pollution; some have easier access(通路)for disabled and old people. There are special traffic lanes (行车道)to make bus journeys easier. So do something to help solve the pollution problem----let the bus take you to work and your children to school.

TRAINS

       All car journeys, long or short, can be hard work. For some trips, it is wiser to take the train. Leave your car at home and walk, cycle or take a bus to and from the station. Train travel is fast, safe and comfortable. Train tickets are not always expensive.

llampbrella

 
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(伞蓬)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(传感器)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.

1. Who designed lampbrella?

2.Why did Belyacv create lampbrella?
3. How soon is the the canopy closed if it’s not being used?

4.Would each lampbrella offer enough protection for only one person or several people?

5. What is the main idea of the passage?

I’m Jack, and I am a middle school student. Yesterday was the most exciting day in my life. I was on TV! This is my first time on TV. In the evening, Mum, Dad and I were watching a TV programme in the sitting room and there I was! This is how it happened.

I was playing soccer in the park with my friends when a man and a woman came to us. The man had a camera. The woman had a microphone. “I’m from Channel 9,” she said. “Do you know the programme Kid’s Speak Out?” I did know it. I watched it often. It’s a weekly programme where kids say what they think about different things.

“Would you like to be on it?” the woman asked me.

 I wanted to be on it and I thought my friends might also want to be on it, so I asked, “Can my friends be on it too?”

“Sorry, only one of you can,” the woman said. “You can talk about it and decide which of you is going to be on the programme.”

I asked my friends if they wanted to be on the programme. They didn’t, so I went on it. The woman asked me a lot of questions. I thought carefully and tried to give sensible answers.
