C. READING: Read the following passage and do the tasks.
The invention of umbrellas
It seems natural to open an umbrella when it rains. But actually, the umbrella was not invented for
protection against 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. The first people to use it were probably
the Chinese in the eleventh century B.C. The umbrella spread to ancient Egypt and Babylon. At that
time, it was a symbol of honor and authority, the umbrella was only used for royalty or by those in
high offices.

It is believed that the first people to use the umbrella as protection against rain were the ancient
Romans.
During the Middle Ages, 1100-1500 AD in Europe, the use of the umbrella disappeared completely.
Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century. By 1680, the umbrella was used in
France and later in England.
By the eighteenth century, the umbrella was used against rain in most of Europe and started to

colors.
