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 demand. Sensors (传感器) then ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians shelter whenever it starts raining.

In addition to the rain sensor, there's also a 3600 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 (安装) at 2 metres 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 Moscow Department,and insists his creation could be installed on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter.

24、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.

25、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 Saint Petersburg.

C. Street lamps are protected by canopies. D. He enjoyed taking walks in the rain.

26、What does Paragraph 5 mainly tell us about the Lampbrella?

A. Its moving speed. B. Its appearance. C. Its installation. D. Its safety.

27、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.

Now a group of scientists, including ones from CalTech, MIT and the LIGo Scientific Collaboration finally found the gravitational waves(引力波). They announced they were able to see ripples(波纹) in the structure of spacetime.

What are these gravitational waves? Well, imagine throwing a rock into a pond. When the rock hits the flat surface of the water, it creates ripples. Spacetime is like the surface of the water. So gravitational waves are like the ripples moving out from where the rock hits the water.

It was Einstein who said these gravitational waves should be observable. But these are not huge waves. They are smaller than the size of an atom, which is why it took so long to find them.

Since 2002, scientists have been watching for these gravitational waves, using a giant scientific tool called LIGO. They have been watching two black holes in another galaxy (星系) faraway. The two were spinning around each other, moving closer and closer together. When they finally crashed into each other, gravitational waves were caused. With great power and force, they rang throughout the universe, like a giant bell. Those waves, traveling at the speed of light, finally reached the Earth, some 1.3 billion years later.The National Science Foundation said that each of the black holes was 29 to 36 times the mass of our sun.

　　This discovery means our understanding of the heavens has changed greatly.

28、The author explains the gravitational waves by .

A presenting recent research findings B. drawing a vivid picture

C. comparing them to something familiar D. using proper examples

29、According to the author, finding the gravitational waves means .

A. there is a better way to deal with physics problems

B. we have a better understanding of the universe

C. we have reached a new level in earth studies

D. there exists another galaxy in the universe

30、What does the word "they" in Paragraph 4 refer to?

A. The black holes. B. The gravitational waves. 　　C. The scientific tools. D. The galaxies.
