The charity shop is a British institution, selling everything from clothes to electric goods, all at very good prices. You can get things you won’t find in the shops anymore. The thing I like best about them is that your money is going to a good cause and not into the pockets of profit-driven companies, and you are not damaging the planet, but finding a new home for unwanted goods.The first charity shop was opened in 1947 by Oxfam. The famous charity’s appeal to aid postwar Greece had been so successful it had been flooded with donations. They decided do set up a shop to sell some of these donations to raise money for that appeal. Now there are over 7,000 charity shops in the UK. My favorite charity shop in my hometown is the Red Cross shop, where I always find children’s books, all 10 or 20 pence each.Most of the people working in the charity shops are volunteers, although there is often a manager who gets paid. Over 90% of the goods in the charity shops are donated by the public. Every morning you see bags of unwanted items outside the front of shops, although they don’t encourage this, rat her ask people to bring things in when the shop is open.The shops have very low running costs: all profits go to charity work. Charity shops raise more than ￡100 million a year, funding(资助) medical research, overseas aid, supporting sick and poor children, homeless and disabled people, and much more. What better place to spend your money? You get something special for a very good price and a good moral sense.

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.7.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.8.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.9.Which of the following show how the Lampbrella works?A. motor→canopy→sensorsB. sensors→motor→canopyC. motor→sensors→canopyD. canopy→motor→sensors10.What does paragraph 5 mainly tell us about the Lampbrella?A. Its safety.B. Its appearance.C. Its installation.D. Its moving speed.11.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.DLONDON-The news that a Chinese maths textbook will be introduced into Britain this summer has again caught the eyes of people in the education field, as well as the public, since the first group of maths teachers from China’s Shanghai took part in an exchange project in Britain last year.than 20 years. Earlier on Thursday, the publisher East China Normal University Press said, in January, it signed an agreement with HarperCollins to publish an English version of the book this summer in Britain, which would be named as One Lesson One Exercise of Shanghai Maths.It said experts “familiar with both Chinese textbooks and British educational conditions are compiling(编辑) the maths section on the basis of the pre-existing domestic edition”, and some changes would be made as the education systems of the two countries are different. However, the difficulty won’t be reduced. So far, the number of schools and students who will use this textbook is unknown. Britain’s Department for Education said, at this stage, it’s a matter for the publishing company, and won’t make any comments on this.A Chinese man who required anonymous(匿名的) said he had noticed a very interesting phenomenon in his daughter’s school and other sch ools in London, that most of Chinese students, even Asian students can get a higher scores than others in maths. He said he learnt the news of Shanghai textbook on the Internet, but he thought it’s very complicated to judge whether the action would be good or bad for students in Britain.“The introduction of the Shanghai textbook may play a part in improving local students’ numeracy skills(计算能力), however, I think local maths lessons place more focus on developing students’ ability of inference and logical t hinking, rather than the numeracy skills. They’d like to complete maths problems by tools, but not in particular require students to master of numeracy,” he said.12.The best title for the news report can be “________.”A. One Lesson One Exercise is a popular bookB. Chinese math textbook to be introduced into BritainC. Experts are compiling the Chinese math textbookD. The cultural and educational exchanges between China and Britain13.What can we learn from what the Chinese man said in Para. 4?A. The majority of Asian students’ practical ability is higher.B. British students can adapt to the Chinese teaching ways.C. Most of the Chinese students can learn maths better than others.D. It will surely benefit British students to use the Shanghai textbook.14.Why would some changes be made when compiling the textbook?A. Because some of the contents of the textbook are out of date.B. Because the textbook is a little difficult for British students.C.Because the company wants to improve the quality of the book.D. Because education systems of the two countries are different.15.The possible meaning of the underlined word “supplementary” in Para. 2 is “________”.A. added to somethingB. far away in distance or timeC. having relative freedom of movement D tending to accept things without much thought五、单词拼写1.____________ (银牌) are never his dream.lie won the ____________ (奖品) which is made of copper in last year’s game designing competition.3.Such ____________ (大事) results shocked us all.
