I have had a lifelong passion for sewing ( 缝, 做针线活). When I was 7, my mother showed me how to stitch
with a needle and thread, and it was my favorite pastime (休闲活动) when it was too cold and snowy to play outside.
As a teenager, I began to design and sew my own outfits. I cut out paper patterns to construct dresses and skirts, and I’d
sit at the old sewing machine for hours.
In my late 20s, my focus shifted towards giving new life to used clothes. I began to buy used clothes to upcycle
(升级改造) and refashion. My favorite places to buy used clothes are thrift shops ( 旧货店). This pursuit wasn’t just
about fashion; it was about storytelling through clothing.
About 10 years ago, when I was ripping out the silk lining ( 内衬) from a beautiful long blue evening dress, I
stopped. There was a hidden pocket in the front that I failed to notice as I merrily ripped at the scams (接缝). I pulled
out an old photo of a young woman wearing the very same blue evening dress. A long silver chain necklace hung
gracefully down the front of the dress, and she was holding a black purse. She had a soft smile, and she looked to be in
her early 20s. This moment was an awakening for me; it connected me to the unknown histories of the clothes I worked
with.
Somebody else wore this dress many years ago. Who was she? Did she wear it to the theater? To a fancy dinner
party? And I was now tearing it apart. I felt guilty. I mentioned my concerns and guilt to my daughter. She said, “Mom,
you should be proud of your upcycling and your sewing creations. You are keeping clothes out of the landfill ( 垃圾填
埋场), and you’re creating new fashions. Consider it a bonus (意外收获) if you find objects in the pockets. The clothes
are talking to you!” Her words helped me see the value in my hobby, not just as a creative means of expressing but as a
means of preserving stories and preventing waste.
I decided to pay respect to this upcycling discovery and the many others I’ve found over the years by displaying
them on a bulletin board in my sewing room. These discoveries have made me enjoy refashioning and upcycling clothes
even more. And this evolution in my sewing practice has not only enhanced my appreciation for the art of upcycling but
has also deepened my connection to the past, making each stitch a bridge between generations.

C．To learn new sewing techniques. D．To preserve stories and reduce waste.
26．How did the author feel after finding the photo in the dress?
A．Excited. B．Ashamed. C．Confused. D．Surprised.
27．How did the daughter’s opinion affect the author?
A．It made her feel guilty. B．It led her to take sewing classes.
C．It caused her to give up on sewing D．It made her appreciate her upcycling more.
C
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 (伞篷) built into a street lamp.” he said.
The Lampbrella is a standard-looking streetlamp 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 360° motion sensor on the fiberglass streetlamp 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 ( 行人). 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 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, Belvaev 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.
28．Which of the following shows how the Lampbrella works?
A．motor →canopy →sensors.
B．motor →sensors →canopy.
C．canopy →motor →sensors.
D．sensors →motor →canopy.
29．Why did Mikhail Belvaev create Lampbrella?
A．To protect people from the rain.
B．To predict a heavy rain.
C．To introduce a lamp post with its own rain- sensing umbrella.
D．To gain profits for himself.
30．What does Paragraph 5 mainly tell us about the Lampbrella?
