On a rainy day, the raincoat and the umbrella have been necessary for people toprotect themselves from the rain for centuries. However, Chinese designers are tryingto challenge that with an new product called an “umbrella raincoat". As the name suggests,this wonderful rainwear design combines the raincoat and the umbrella. For starters, it looks kind of strange, and sellers on Chinese websites actually list this fact as the only disadvantage(缺点）of the product. They actually describe it a little differently ?You will get 100% rate of second glances( ?瞥）” ?you actually know what it means. Also, like the umbrella, it only protects your upper body from the rain, with the lower body and legs being almost completely exposed(暴露）. However, it does free up both your hands, which is actually the main advantage of wearing an umbrella raincoat. “But isn’t the classic raincoat just better?” I hear you asking. Well, not if you want to show off your dresses while still enjoying some protection from the rain. Even those clear raincoats become foggy in the rain，making it hard for passers-by to admire your fancy dresses, however, with the umbrella coat, they still have a clear view. Other advantages include a lightweight Voidable(可折叠的）design, two straps that keep it from being blown away by strong winds. The umbrella raincoat comes in all kinds of sizes and colors, and if the online stores who are going to sell it are believers, it will soon replace the traditional umbrella, and go into the houses of hundreds of millions of families. But believe it or not, I think it will play a key role in people’s everyday life. If this thing had been invented in America, I wouldn't have bothered writing about it. Those guys come up with something strange every day T but it turns out that China has a taste for them, too. 【小题1】It’s implied in the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 that the umbrella raincoat . A. is very fashionable B. is very useful C. looks a little strange D. makes you well-known 【小题2】What is the main advantage of the umbrella raincoat? A. Making our hands free. B. Protecting our body.

Doubtful. 【小题4】What is the best title for this text? A. Chinese Strange Inventions B. Advantages of Chinese Umbrella C. Disadvantages of Traditional Raincoat D. Chinese Umbrella Raincoat
