Nowadays more and more people who lives in cities like to keep dogs as pets. Some of my friend believe people can get comfort and develop their patient and love by keeping dogs as pets. Personally, I do not really have interest to dogs, and sometimes I do hate some dog owners. They can be so annoyed. They talk about their dogs as if they are actually their little babies. Some dogs make too much noise at night, that makes it hard for people living nearby fall asleep. Besides, not all dog owners think of others while they are walking their dogs. As really annoys me, though, is the way they let their dogs get out of the control.

For many people, a special sale is just too attractive to walk away from. 1. But with sales items, how can you be sure you’re really getting a good deal? If you understand some sales tricks, you will be able to make smart choices.
Some tricks have been used by shopkeepers for ages. 2. For example, if an item is US＄11.99 instead of US＄12.00, you’ll feel like you’re spending less money.
Sellers sometimes reduce items by a certain amount. 3. That means that even with the discount, you may still pay more than the original price.

Tips for shoppers

* 4. The more focused you are, the easier it is to make wise decisions.
*Don’t shop when you are hungry. Studies show that you’ll usually buy more than you originally planned.
*5. First ask yourself: Do I have the money to buy it? Will I use it? If not, walk away, but if so, go for it! That way you’ll still feel good after you take your item home.

You can’t always predict a heavy rain or remember your umbrella. But designer Mikhail Belvaev 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’s 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(埋地线) to protect from possible lightning strike. 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 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.
1.What’s the implied meaning of the underlined sentence?
A. You’d better check the weather forest before going out.
B. You may get sheltered from rain even if you don’t have an umbrella.
C. Weather forecast is not always reliable.
D. You’d better take an umbrella if you fail to check the weather forest.
2.Which of the following shows how the Lampbrella works?
A. motor→canopy→sensors
B. motor→sensors→canopy
C. sensors→motor→canopy
D. canopy→motor→sensors
3.What does paragraph 5 mainly tell us about the Lampbrella?
A. Its safety. B. Its appearance.
C. Its installation. D. Its moving speed.
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 Lampbrella would be put on show in Moscow.
D. The designer is confident that his creation is practical.
