A new utdr fabric(织物) stres energy by day and then lights up at night. Being tested in a city park, this ttally“ cl” fabric has attracted interest fr its many urban(城市的) uses.
This is the brainchild f Anai Green, an industrial and prduct designer. She designed a shading fabric that carries slar phtvltaic cells(太阳能光伏电池). The cells cllect sunlight and stre the energy in strips with LEDs. This allws the fabric t shade public space by day. When night falls, these strips light up.“ We use Lumi Weave t light public space withut carbn emissins(碳排放), making the lighting all- natural. And we spread light in the areas we want t brighten nly,” said Green.
The system was designed t adapt t all weather cnditins and can cntinue t prvide lighting even after three days withut sunlight. In additin, yu simply put LumiWeave up and the sun will d the wrk. This in itself saves 50 percent f the cst f building standard lighting, and it saves 100 percent n the electricity bills. This is great news fr cities. Tel Aviv, Green's hmetwn, is trying ut LumiWeave in AtidimPark.
The mayr f Tel Aviv, Rn Huldai, is making effrts t deal with climate change.“LumiWeave will turn ut t be a grundbreaking prject,” said Huldai. The mayr added that LumiWeave is especially imprtant as it slves the issue f shading urban areas and uses clean energy.
The new fabric can be fixed at the tp f bike paths, in children's parks and in walking areas. Many f the cuntry's majr cities are planning t chse LumiWeave. As there is als use fr the fabric in utdr sitting areas f restaurants and htels, Green has develped a LumiWeave parasl(遮阳伞).“ We are nw develping the pssibility f cntrlling it frm the phne-- we' re creating an applicatin,” said Green.
LumiWeave prvides an ideal slutin fr urban parks and gardens. We hpe that it will sn be lighting up night skies arund the wrld.
29. Hw des the new utdr fabric wrk?
A. By turning husehld waste int clean energy.
B. By using phtvltaic cells t prmte plant grwth.
C. By prviding shade and energy in an ec- friendly way.
D. By changing its temperatures accrding t the weather.
30. Which f the fllwing can be the feature f LumiWeave?
A. It is very cnvenient t use.
B. It takes up a lt f public space.
C. It's equipped with self- repair materials.
D. It can tell the weather cnditins faster.
31. What's Rn Huldai's attitude twards LumiWeave?
A. Wrried.. B. Dubtful. C. Unclear. D. Supprtive.
32. What can we infer frm the last but ne paragraph?
A. LumiWeave may cause safety cncerns.
B. LumiWeave is being further develped fr wider use.
C. LumiWeave may speed up the prcess f urbanizatin.
D. LumiWeave will be replaced by mre intelligent devices.

Our huse was acrss the street frm a ppular hspital in ur city. We lived dwnstairs and rented the upstairs rms ut t sme patients. One summer evening when I was preparing supper, there was a knck at the dr. I pened the dr and saw a truly awful- lking(长相丑陋) man.
“ He’s hardly taller than my eight- year- ld sn,” I thught as I stared at the ld lady. But the frightening thing was his face-- red and raw(擦掉皮的). Yet his vice was pleasant as he said,“ Gd evening. I am wndering if yu have a rm fr just ne night. I came fr treatment frm the eastern shre this mrning, and there's n but until next mrning.”
He tld me he'd been lking fr a rm since nn but had n success as n ne seemed t have a rm. “I guess it's because f my face. I knw it lks terrible, but my dctr says with a few mre treatments I will recver,” he added.

When we were eating supper, I asked the ld man if he wuld jin us.“ N, thank yu. I have fd,” he said. And he held up a brwn paper bag.
After I finished the dishes, I went t talk with him fr a few minutes. It didn't take lng t find that this ld man had a big heart crwded int that tiny bdy. He tld me he fished fr a living t supprt his daughter, her three children, and her husband, wh stayed in bed because f a back injury.
He didn't tell it by way f cmplaint(抱怨). He was grateful that n pain accmpanied his disease, which was a frm f skin cancer. He was very psitive abut life.
