There are many useful inventions in the world.

Have you ever wished to have an umbrella that makes your hands free? Alan Kaufman has thought up the "Nubrella", which means "new"+"umbrella". It is the first truly hands-free umbrella in the world. The inventor says that it stops rain, wind and snow and can keep your head, face and hair dry.

"I never planned to invent a product. I just noticed a problem and thought up a solution," said the inventor. The idea for the invention began on one rainy day. Mr. Kaufman was standing in one of his stores. He began to look at people's umbrellas. He found that they had to try very hard to keep their umbrellas in the right place. At that moment an idea came into his mind. He ran to his desk and drew a picture. In this way, the Nubrella was born.

One cool feature of the Nubrella is that you don't hold it like a usual umbrella, you wear it. The shoulder straps(肩带) of the Nubrella allow people to be fully hands-free, so when walking in the rain with the Nubrella, you are able to use your cell phone or drink a hot cup of coffee. Also, the Nubrella will never be inverted(颠倒) in the wind. The new umbrella is far safer than traditional ones, because it has no sharp points.

 

59. "Nubrella" is a kind of                  umbrella.

A. usual B. hands-free C. traditional D. paper

60. How can you use the "Nubrella"?

A. You can wear the shoulder straps of the Nubrella.

B. You can put the Nubrella on your head.

C. You can use your hands to control it.

D. You can put it on your bike.

61. Which of the following is NOT right?

A. "Nubrella" means "new"+"umbrella".

B. The idea of the new umbrella came from the rainy day.

C. When you are walking in the rain, you'd better take the Nubrella.

D. If you go out with the Nubrella in the rain, you'd better drink a hot cup of coffee.

62. It can be learned from the passage that                 .

A. Alan Kaufman often uses umbrellas in everyday life

B. the new kind of umbrella was invented by an umbrella store owner

C. the inventor thought for a long time before inventing the Nubrella

D. you can do other things with your hands when using the Nubrella

63. In writing this passage, the writer mainly intends(意图) to                 .

A. introduce this new kind of umbrella to people who are selling umbrellas

B. tell the readers about a great inventor named Alan Kaufman

C. tell the readers about a new invention that is very useful

D. tell the readers that the inventor didn't want to invent anything

I'm sure you look into the mirror several times a day. In fact, we can't live without mirrors. Today, mirrors are everywhere from your room to your father's car. They are helpful in many ways. The mirror has a long history. But do you know who invented it and when it was invented?

People started using mirrors a long time ago. The first mirrors used were natural mirrors such as reflection in water. The first man-made mirrors were made out of the rock. Later, people used different metals such as bronze(青铜) to make mirrors. Throughout history, different types of mirrors have been used in many different cultures at the same time.

The first glass mirror was invented by a German named Justus Von Liebig in 1835. He used a silvering(镀银) technique to produce the glass mirror. Today aluminum(铝) is the main metal used for mirror.

Today, mirrors come in shapes and sizes. They are used for different reasons. We usually start our days by looking into the mirror in the bathroom. We also use them often during the day to keep ourselves tidy.

Mirrors are important for cars, too. If cars don' t have mirrors, it's impossible to drive. This is because drivers can't see other cars coming. Of course, that would lead to many car accidents.

It is said that breaking a mirror causes seven years of bad luck. So, look after your mirrors well.

Have you ever heard of e-waste (electric waste, 电子垃圾), which can be produced every day? How do you deal with your computers, MP4 players and mobile phones when they're broken or you want a new one?

Most people just throw them away. With the development of electric industry, e-waste pollution has become a serious problem. According to the United Nations, in 2014, people around the world produced 41.8 million tons of e-waste and only recycled 6.5 million tons. The US was the biggest waster, producing 7.1 million tons. China came second, with 6 million tons.

It's important to pay attention to e-waste. It can either be valuable or harmful(有害的), depending on how we deal with it. E-waste is a valuable urban mine (城市矿藏). The value of the metals, like gold and silver in the waste around the world, is amazing. And the metals can be reused. But if people throw them away, the toxic chemicals (有毒化学物质) can get into the earth or air, effecting the environment and people's health.

Apple, for example, now recycle people's used products in China when they are buying new ones. The company will test and repair the used ones and sell them at lower prices. To help reduce(减少) e-waste, we can also take computers and phones to see if companies offer recycling programs.

 

74. The following can become e-waste EXCEPT                 .

A. computers B. mobile phones C. plastic bags

75. Which country produced most e-waste last year according to the United Nations?

A. America. B. China. C. Japan.

76. What does the underline word "effecting" mean in this passage?

A. 保护 B. 影响 C. 改善

77. From paragraph 4, we learn that                 .

A. the recycle Apple products will be sold at higher prices

B. buying longer lasting electronic products is a good way to reduce e-waste

C. it's better to keep the unwanted electronics in your bedroom

78. The main purpose of this passage is to                 .

A. prove that e-waste is useless

B. encourage people to buy more electronic products

C. advise people to deal with e-waste properly to reduce pollution

There are many useful inventions in the world.

Have you ever wished to have an umbrella that makes your hands free? Alan Kaufman has thought up the "Nubrella", which means "new"+"umbrella". It is the first truly hands-free umbrella in the world. The inventor says that it stops rain, wind and snow and can keep your head, face and hair dry.

"I never planned to invent a product. I just noticed a problem and thought up a solution," said the inventor. The idea for the invention began on one rainy day. Mr. Kaufman was standing in one of his stores. He began to look at people's umbrellas. He found that they had to try very hard to keep their umbrellas in the right place. At that moment an idea came into his mind. He ran to his desk and drew a picture. In this way, the Nubrella was born.

One cool feature of the Nubrella is that you don't hold it like a usual umbrella, you wear it. The shoulder straps(肩带) of the Nubrella allow people to be fully hands-free, so when walking in the rain with the Nubrella, you are able to use your cell phone or drink a hot cup of coffee. Also, the Nubrella will never be inverted(颠倒) in the wind. The new umbrella is far safer than traditional ones, because it has no sharp points.

A. usual B. hands-free C. traditional D. paper

60. How can you use the "Nubrella"?

A. You can wear the shoulder straps of the Nubrella.

61. Which of the following is NOT right?

A. "Nubrella" means "new"+"umbrella".

B. The idea of the new umbrella came from the rainy day.

C. When you are walking in the rain, you'd better take the Nubrella.

D. If you go out with the Nubrella in the rain, you'd better drink a hot cup of coffee.

62. It can be learned from the passage that                 .

A. Alan Kaufman often uses umbrellas in everyday life

B. the new kind of umbrella was invented by an umbrella store owner

C. the inventor thought for a long time before inventing the Nubrella

I'm sure you look into the mirror several times a day. In fact, we can't live without mirrors. Today, mirrors are everywhere from your room to your father's car. They are helpful in many ways. The mirror has a long history. But do you know who invented it and when it was invented?

People started using mirrors a long time ago. The first mirrors used were natural mirrors such as reflection in water. The first man-made mirrors were made out of the rock. Later, people used different metals such as bronze(青铜) to make mirrors. Throughout history, different types of mirrors have been used in many different cultures at the same time.

The first glass mirror was invented by a German named Justus Von Liebig in 1835. He used a silvering(镀银) technique to produce the glass mirror. Today aluminum(铝) is the main metal used for mirror.

Today, mirrors come in shapes and sizes. They are used for different reasons. We usually start our days by looking into the mirror in the bathroom. We also use them often during the day to keep ourselves tidy.

Mirrors are important for cars, too. If cars don' t have mirrors, it's impossible to drive. This is because drivers can't see other cars coming. Of course, that would lead to many car accidents.

It is said that breaking a mirror causes seven years of bad luck. So, look after your mirrors well.

Have you ever heard of e-waste (electric waste, 电子垃圾), which can be produced every day? How do you deal with your computers, MP4 players and mobile phones when they're broken or you want a new one?

Most people just throw them away. With the development of electric industry, e-waste pollution has become a serious problem. According to the United Nations, in 2014, people around the world produced 41.8 million tons of e-waste and only recycled 6.5 million tons. The US was the biggest waster, producing 7.1 million tons. China came second, with 6 million tons.

It's important to pay attention to e-waste. It can either be valuable or harmful(有害的), depending on how we deal with it. E-waste is a valuable urban mine (城市矿藏). The value of the metals, like gold and silver in the waste around the world, is amazing. And the metals can be reused. But if people throw them away, the toxic chemicals (有毒化学物质) can get into the earth or air, effecting the environment and people's health.

Apple, for example, now recycle people's used products in China when they are buying new ones. The company will test and repair the used ones and sell them at lower prices. To help reduce(减少) e-waste, we can also take computers and phones to see if companies offer recycling programs.
