Dear Mr. Expert,

I grew up in an abusive(虐待的) home. I always promised myself that I’d get out as soon as possible. Now, at age 20, I have a good job and a nice house of my own, and I’m really proud.

Here’s the problem: some of my friends who still live with their parents spend the weekends with me. But now they make mine theirs. They bring boy friends over, talk on the phone, etc.

I enjoy having my friends here sometimes – it makes the place feel comfortable and warm, but this is my home, not a party house, what shall I do?

Joan

Dear Joan,

If your family didn’t pay attention to your needs when you were a child, you probably have trouble letting others know your needs now.

And if you’ve gathered your friends around you to rebuild a happy family, you may fear that saying no will bring back the kind of conflict that you grew up in. You need to understand that in true friendship it’s okay to put your own needs first from time to time.

Be clear about the message you want to send. For example, “I really love you, but I also need some personal space. So please call before you come over.”

Edward

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.

4.The best title of this passage is .

A. A special umbrella - Lampbrella

B. Why Belyaev created the Lampbrella

C. A special light - Lampbrella

D. Where the Lampbrella first appear

阅读填空 阅读下面的短文，根据文中信息完成文后表格。每个空格只能填一个单词。

A study shows that one million lives might be saved each year if people wash their hands with soap(肥皂) often. It also says that hand-washing with soap could be among the best ways to reduce diseases. Doctors say many diseases can be prevented from spreading by hand-washing. These include the common cold, influenza(流行感冒), hepatitis(肝炎), infectious diarrhea(腹泻) and so on.

Doctors say you are easy to catch a cold by touching your nose or eyes after someone nearby has sneezed or coughed. Another reason to catch a disease is to eat food prepared by someone whose hands were not clean.

They also say that hand-washing is especially important before and after preparing food, before eating and after using the toilet, after touching money and sneezing or coughing. The most helpful way is to wash them together while using soap and warm water. You do not have to use special soap. Be sure to wash all areas of the hands for about ten to fifteen seconds.
