She hesitated, uncertain how to cla ssify herself.“What I mean is,” explained the recorder, “do you have a job, or are you just a …”“Of course I have a job,” said Emily. “I’m a mother.”“We don’t list ‘mother’ as an occupation…‘housewife’ covers it,” said the recorder.One day I found myself in the same situation. The clerk was ob viously a career woman, confident and possessed of a high sou nding title.“What is your occupation?” she asked.The words simply popped out. “I’m a Research Associate in the field of Child Development and Human Relations.”The clerk paused, ballpoint pen frozen in midair.I repeated the title slowly, and then I stared with wonder as my statement was written in bold, black ink on the official questionn aire.“Might I ask,” said the clerk with new interest, “Just what you do in this field?”Coolly, without any trace of panic in my voice, I heard myself re ply, “I have a continuing program of research (what mother doe sn’t), in the lab and in the field (normally I would have said ind oors and out). Of course, the job is one of the most demanding i n the humanities (any mother care to disagree?), and I often wo rk 14 hours a day (24 is more like it). But the job is more challen ging than most careers and rewards are more of a satisfaction r ather than just money.”There was an increasing note of respect in the clerk’s voice as she completed the form, stood up, and showed me out.As I drove into our driveway, buoyed up (依托) by my glamorous new career, I was greeted by my lab assis tants---ages 13, 7, and 3.Upstairs I could hear our new experimental model (a 6 month old baby), in the child-development program, testing out a new vocal pattern.I felt proud! I had gone on the official records as someone more distinguished and indispensable (不可缺少的) to mankind than “just another mother.”Motherhood…What a glorious career!

But designer Mikhail Belyaev doesn't think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in y ou 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 peo ple get wet on streets in . “Once, I was driving on a central stre et and saw the street lamps lighting up people trying to hide fro m the rain. I thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy(伞篷)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 dema nd. Sensors(传感器)then ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians shelter whe never 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 u sing the Lampbrella.After three minutes of not being used the c anopy is closed.According to the designer, the Lampbrella would move at a rela tively low speed, so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians. B esides, it would be grounded to protect from possible lightning s trike. Each Lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people. Being installed(安装) at 2 meters off the ground, it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians.While there are no plans to take the Lampbrella into production, Belyaev says he recently introduced his creation to one Mosco w Department, and insists his creation could be installed on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to p rovide shelter.66. 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.67.What do we know from Belyaev's words in Paragraph 2?A. His creation was inspired by an experience.B. It rains a lot in the city of .C. Street lamps are protected by canopies.D. He enjoyed taking walks in the rain.68.Which of the following shows how the Lampbrella works?A. motor→canopy→sensorsB. sensors→motor→canopyC. motor→sensors→canopyD. canopy→motor→sensors69.What does Paragraph 5 mainly tell us about the Lampbrell a?A. Its moving speed.B. Its appearance.C. Its installation.D. Its safety.70.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 .【要点综述】这是一篇说明文。
