Recently a top school in Nanjing announced its new rules. One of them is that students are not allowed to watching Hunan TV at weekends. Instead, CCTV is recommended. Once knowing to the public, the rule set off a heated discussion among teachers, students and parents. Some are in favour for the school’s decision, believing that children need properly guidance and a good cultural environment during the course of growth. Besides, they should keep away from program that may mislead them or affect their studies. On other hand, some people hold the view that children’s right to choose our own lifestyle should be respected. I think bans of this kind isn’t practical for schools. Instead, students should be guided to choose what will benefit from them.

Have you ever asked yourself why children go to school? You will 1. (probable) say that they go to learn languages，arithmetic，history, science and some other knowledge．That is quite true；but why do they learn these things?

We send our children to school to prepare them for the time 2. they will be big and will have to work for 3. ．Nearly everything they study at school has some practical use in their life．But is that 4. only reason why they go to school?

There is more in education than just 5. (1earn)facts．We go to school to learn how to learn，so that when we have left school we can continue to learn．A man 6. really knows how to learn will always be successful，because when he has to do something new, he will not only be able to do it well himself, he will also be able to teach others 7. to do it in the best way．The 8. (educate)person，on the other hand，is either unable to do something new，or just 9. (do) it badly．The purpose of schools，therefore，is not to teach languages，arithmetic，history science，etc．， 10. to teach pupils the way to 1eam．

You can’t always predict a heavy rain or remember your umbrella. But designer Mikhail Belyaev doesn’t think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet. That’s why he created Lampbrella, a lamp post with its own rain sensing 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 the street lamps lighting up people trying to hide from the rain. I thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy(伞蓬)built into a street lamp,” he said.

The Lampbrella is a standard-looking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy. It has a built-in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella on demand. Sensors(传感器)then ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians (行人) shelter whenever it starts raining.

In addition to the rain sensor, there’s also a 360° motion sensor on the fiberglass street lamp which detects whether anyone is using the Lampbrella. After three minutes of not being used the canopy is closed.

According to the designer, the Lampbrella would move at a relatively low speed, so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians. Besides, it would be grounded to protect from possible lightning strike. Each Lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people. Being installed at 2 meters off the ground, it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians.

While there are no plans to take Lampbrella into production, Belyaev says he recently introduced his creation to one Moscow Department, and insists this creation could be installed on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter.

1.For what purpose did Belyaev create the Lampbrella?

A. To predict a heavy rain.

B. To check the weather forecast.

C. To protect people from the rain.

D. To remind people to take an umbrella.

2.What do we know from Belyaev’s worlds in Paragraph 2?

A. His creation was inspired 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.Which of the following show how the Lampbrella works?

A. motor→canopy→sensors B. sensors→motor→canopy

C. motor→sensors→canopy D. canopy→motor→sensors

4.. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A. The designer will open a company to promote his product.

B. The Lampbrella could be put into immediate production.

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

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