2024年初中英语中考最新时文阅读训练 专题11趣味生活 阅读理解 A A paper bicycle helmet 纸制自行车头盔 A paper bicycle helmet that folds to one tenth of the size of a normal helmet has won a prize. Isis Shiffer, a student, won the £ 30,000 Dyson design prize for her “EcoHelmet”. The helmet is designed to be cheap, priced around £ 5,for people renting bikes. Miss Shiffer saw the need for a cheap, light-weight helmet for users of the many bike rental schemes around the world. The helmet has a coating(涂层) that makes it stay in the rain for up to three hours. The helmet is made out of paper as it is designed to be recyclable, unlike normal bike helmets which are made out of materials which cannot be recycled. Tests at Imperial College show that her invention is just as good at protecting the head as normal helmets. When the helmet is unfolded, it is similar to te size of a normal helmet. The helmet is not planned for long life, so Isis Shiffer hopes to make a sign that will show when the helmet has passed its useful life. 1. What kind of people are the paper helmets designed for?
