But actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against rain. Its first use was as a shade (遮光物)against the sun!Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese, way back in the 11 century BC.We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use: it became a symbol of honour and authority. In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by royalty or by those in highoffice.In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. And the umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece. But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans.During the Middle Ages, the use of the umbrella practically disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late 16th century. And again it was considered a symbol of power and authority. By 1680, the umbrella appeared in France, and later on in England.By the 18th century, the umbrella was used against rain throughout most of Europe. Umbrella have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight. It wasn't until the 20th century that women's umbrellas began to be made, in a whole variety of colours.6.

To many people, the cause is clear: we eat too much. But scientific experiments do little to support this idea. Going back to the America of 1910, we find that people were thinner than today, yet they ate more food. In those days people worked harder physically, walked more, used machines much less, and didn't watch television.Several modern studies, besides, have shown that fatter people do not eat more on average than thinner people. In fact, some research work, such as the 1979 study of 3,545 London office workers, reports that fat people eat less than thinner people on average. Studies show that thin people are more active than fat people. A study by the research group at Standford University School of Medicine found the following fact: the more the man ran, the greater body fat he lost. The more he ran, the greater was his need for food. Thus, those who ran the most ate the most, yet lost the greatest amount of body fat.11. What kind of physical problem do many grown-up Americans have? CA. They are too thin.B. They work too hard.C. They are too fat.D. They lose too much body fat.12.

Are there scientific facts to support that eating too much is the cause of the" weight problem"? CA. Yes, there are plenty of them.B. Of course, there are facts to show this is true.C. There are hardly any scientific facts to support this.D. We don't know because the information is not given.14. Compared with the grown-up Americans today, The Americans of 1910 A .A. ate more food and had more physical activitiesB. ate less food but had more activitiesC. ate less food and had less physical activitiesD. had more weight problems15.
