The school’s headmaster noticed it in an artist’s garden as he drove past one day, and thought it would be perfect for his school. “I knew everyone would love it,” he said, “because our basketball team is known as the Grangetown Giraffes, and they wear giraffes on their shirts. So I asked them to write to the artist, asking how much it would cost to buy the giraffe. He was very kind and got it ready to deliver (递送) in six weeks — all for nothing! It was expected to arrive one Sunday morning, so that the pupils would see it when they got to school on Monday — at that time they had no idea that we were getting it.”The artist, Tom Bennett 9 was a university professor of chemistry before he retired in 2012 and only took up metalwork a couple of years ago. “I’ve always drawn pictures,” he said. 441 can even remember doing it on my first day at school — I drew a horse. I wanted it to be the best horse picture ever, but I don’t think I succeeded.” Tom’s first metalwork was a bicycle on which he and his wife could go cycling together, “It was the most uncomfortable bike ever created,” he said, “so I gave up making bicycles and went into sculpture instead.”Meanwhile the pupils at Grangetown High are very happy with their new classmate. “We’re going to hold a competition to give it a proper name,” said one girl. “Everyone likes the expression on its face, so perhaps that will give us some ideas.”4.

Tired of having to constantly warn both locals and tourists to pay more attention to their surroundings to avoid serious accidents, authorities of a small German town have come up with a more positive solution — embedding (嵌入) traffic lights in the pavement to make them visible to people constantly looking down at their phones while walking.The seemingly ridiculous safety measure was put in place. Authorities in Augsburg decided to act, installing ground level traffic lights at two tram (有轨电车) stops last Tuesday. The lights flash red every time a tram is approaching, or when the regular traffic l ight turns red. “We realized that the normal traffic light isn’t in the line of sight of many pedestrians these days,” said Tobias Hermes, a city administration official. “So we decided to have an additional set of lights — the more we have, the more people are likely to notice them.”Some Augsburg residents appear to be quite happy with the idea. “I think it makes sense,”said Jack Smith, “One always sees young people these days running over red lights. This makes it more obvious that you need to stop.” Ot hers, however, found the need for ground traffic lights disturbing and even frightening. “I find it scary that smart phone users are so engrossed that they need to install lights in the ground so that they notice the tram coming,” one person told the local paper.But do this kind of pavement-embedded lights actually work? Well, if one interviewed teenager is to be believed, not really, “To be honest I didn’t even notice it,” he said, “Maybe it’d be useful at night, but yeah, I didn’t realize it was there until just now.”The word “smombie”—a mashup of the words smart phone and zombie —was born in Germany. It was voted “youth word of the year” in 2017, but the serious consequences of this behaviour are no laughing matter.8. What can be inferred about “smombies”?A. They are fond of walking.B. They concern others very much.C. They look at phones while walking.D. They hate locals and tourists.9. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “engrossed” in Paragraph 4?A. Disturbed.B. Frightened.C. Encouraged.D. Addicted.10. What is the author’s attitude to “smombies”?A. Positive.B. Negative.C. Indifferent.D. Interested.11. What is the text mainly about?A. Ground traffic lights for people looking at smart phones.B. Effective ways to educate people to obey traffic rules.C. The meanings of ground traffic lights.D. The serious problem of traffic safety.DWith the development of science and technology, people find it increasingly difficult to keep pace with the most fashionable smart phones in the world, especially when smart phones are connected with robots.
