To us it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains. But actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against the rain. It was first used as a shade 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 eleventh century B. C. .
We know that the umbrella was also used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sun-shade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use: it became a symbol of honor and authority. In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by royal people or by those in high office.
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 umbrellas as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans.
During the Middle Age, the use of the umbrella practically disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the 16th century. And again it became a symbol of power and authority. Umbrellas-have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight. It wasn’ t until the twentieth century that women’ s umbrellas began to be made in a variety of colors.
Which of the following may be the best tide for the passage?
选项
A、When Was the Umbrella Invented
B、The Roles of Umbrellas in History
C、The Colors and Shapes of Umbrellas
D、Who Needed the Umbrella First
答案
