Question

【題目】Umbrellas are certainly one of life's necessary handy helpers. But as anyone ever caught in a heavy rain will tell you, they're far from perfect. So, many creative designers made efforts to challenge. Here are four clever designs that can solve the rainy day problems.

Senz

Common umbrellas love to invert(翻轉(zhuǎn))when it's windy. The Senz umbrella changes the round shape into the one that's long in the back and short in the front. The design is much stronger against even strong winds, and according to their tests, the Senz works well.

Nubrella

An American named Alan Kaufman and his company spend 6 years inventing this hand-free umbrella. The hand-free umbrella is called Nubrella. The umbrella can rest on the user's shoulders. So the user needn't hold the umbrella any more. And it's convenient to make a phone call or ride a bike without an umbrella in the hand.

Kazbrella

There is no doubt that this kind of umbrella is the shining star in the umbrella market this year. Common umbrellas drip(滴水)everywhere when they are closed. Kazbrella tries to solve this problem in a special way. Though it looks like common umbrella, the design allows the wet side of the umbrella to be inside once you fold it. As a result, getting in and out of your car is not a problem.

Rain Shield

In the face of a heavy rainstorm, rain can hit you from all directions. Rain Shield gives the protection from the sideway rain and its bendy(彎曲)design means it won't invert. It can handle strong wind. When not in use, it folds into a small piece.

A. are useful but not perfect enough B. can only be used in a heavy rain
