1.Nobody knows who first invented it,but the umbrella was used in very ancient times.Probably the first to use it were the Chinese,back in the eleventh century B.C.To use 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 rain.It was first used as a shade against the sun.
We know it 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 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 the umbrellas 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 became a symbol of power and  authority.By 1680,the umbrella appeared in France,and later on in England.
By the eighteenth century,the umbrella was used against rain throughout most of Europe.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.

67.Which of the following statements is not true about the umbrella?C
A.No one exactly knows who was the inventor of the umbrella.
B.The umbrella was first invented to be used as protection against the sun.
C.The umbrella changed much in style in the eighteenth century.
D.In Europe,the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella.
68.The underlined word"authority"meansC.
A.being popular     B.being useful
C.being powerful    D.being enjoyable
69.In Europe,the umbrella was first used against the rainB.
A.in Rome         B.by the eighteen century
C.in Greece       D.during the Middle Ages
70.This passage talks mainly aboutD.
A.when and how the umbrella was invented
B.why the umbrella was so popular in Europe
C.the development of the umbrella
D.the history and use of the umbrella.

2.How can you find out what is going on inside a person's body without opening the patient's body up?Regular X rays can show a lot.CAT scans can show even more.They can give a complete view of body organs.
What is a CAT scan?CAT stands for a kind of machine.It is a special X-ray machine that gets a 360-degree picture of a small area of a patient's body.
Doctors use X rays to study and determine diseases and injuries within the body,X rays can find a foreign object inside the body or take pictures of some inside organs to be X-rayed.
A CAT scanner,however,uses a group of X rays to give a cross-sectional(橫截面)view of a specific part of the body.A fine group of X rays is scanned across the body and around the patient from many different directions.A computer studies the information from each direction and produces a clear cross-sectional picture on a screen.This picture is then photographed for later use.Several cross sections,taken one after another,can give clear"photos"of the entire body or of any body organs.The latest CAT scanners can even give clear pictures of active,moving organs,just as a fast-action camera can"stop the action",giving clear pictures of what appears unclear to the eye.And because of the 360-degree pictures,CAT scans show clear and complete views of organs in a manner that was once only shown during operation or examination of a dead patient.
Frequent appearance before X rays can cause skin burns,cancer or other damage to the body.Yet CAT scans actually don't cause the patient to more radiation than regular X rays do.CAT scans can also be done without getting something harmful into the patient,so they are less risky than regular X rays.
CAT scans provide exact,detailed information.They can quickly find such a thing as bleeding inside the brain.They are helping to save lives.

A.It is safer than regular X rays.
B.It makes use of computer techniques.

A.a(chǎn) badly injured part inside the body
B.a(chǎn) new thing that is unknown to the doctor
C.a(chǎn) strange organ that has grown in the body
D.a(chǎn)n object that gets inside the body by chance
48.What is the special use of the latest CAT scanners?A

B.It can take 3-dimension(三維)pictures of inside organs.
C.It won't cause serious skin burns,cancer or other damage to the body.

B.doctors need no opening-up of the body with CAT scanners
C.CAT scanners are more expensive than regular X-ray machines
