解析

试题解析:本文大意：DIY的意思就是自己动手做，在英国非常受欢迎，在很多商店和超市出售DIY产品，电视也播如何DIY的节目。如果在家周围有什么事情需要修理，例如刷墙或安淋浴，他们会自己做。他们和朋友分享DIY经验。越来越多的人喜欢DIY，并发现了DIY的乐趣。很多前买不起大房子，就想如何能不花很多钱建更好的房子。有一个大家具市场，需要人们自己用一些工具把家具组装起来。有时候指令简单、清楚，但家具本身难以组装。据报道在英国组装时一年就有超过23万人受伤，包括从梯子上掉落。DIY能给我们带来很多乐趣，能帮我们省一些钱，但是如果我们做太难的事情，并不总是如我们认为的那样简单。也许工厂应该生产对于我们来说更容易更安全的产品。

You can’t always predict a heavy rain or remember your umbrella. But designer Mikhail Belvacv doesn’t think that forgetting to check the weather report before heading out should result in you getting wet. To protect people from the rain, he created lampbrella, a lamp post with its own rain sensing umbrella.
The designer says he comes 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 all right to have a canopy(伞蓬)built into a street lamp.” he said.
The lampbrella is a street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy. It has a built-in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella in need. Sensors(传感器)then make sure that the umbrella offers the walkers whenever it starts raining.
In addition to the rain sensor, there’s also a 360° motion sensor on the street lamp which finds out 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 low speed, so as not to cause harm to the walkers. Besides, it would be grounded to protect from possible lightning strike. Each lampbrella would offer enough protection for several people. Being fixed at 2 meters off the ground, it would only be a danger for the tallest of walkers.
While there are no plans to take lampbrella into production, Belyacv says he recently introduced his creation to one Moscow Department, and insists this creation could be fixed on my street where a lot of people walk.
小题1:Who designed lampbrella?
小题2:Why did Belyacv create lampbrella?
小题3:How soon is the the canopy closed if it’s not being used?
小题4:Would each lampbrella offer enough protection for only one person or several people?
小题5:What is the main idea of the passage?
