To us， it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains. But in fact the umbrella was not invented as protection against the rain. Its first use was as a shade (遮蔽) 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， back in the eleventh 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 honor and power(權力). In the Far East in ancient times， the umbrella was allowed to be used only by those in high office or by royal people such as the kings or queens.
In Europe， the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. The umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece， but it is believed that the first people in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans. During the middle ages in Europe， the use of the umbrella almost disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century. And again it became a symbol of power.
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 the umbrellas for women began to be made in all kinds of colors.

I will never forget the tenth summer of my childhood with my grandfather in western Norway at the mountain farm where my mother was born.
One day my grandfather said, “Come. I have something for you.” I f 1. him to a workroom. “You should have a toy boat. You can sail it at Storvassdal,” he said. Great, I thought, looking around for the boat. But there was n 2. . Grandfather pointed to a block of wood. “The boat is in there,” he said. Then he handed me some tools and showed me h 3. to use them properly. “It’ll be a fine boat, and you’ll make it with your own hands,” he said. “No one can give you what you do for yourself.” The w 4. rang in my head as I worked. Finally I finished the boat. It wasn’t much to look at, but I was p 5. . Then I sailed it at Storvassdal.
We had to return to America. “You cannot bring that boat home with you,” my mother said. We already had too much baggage. Feeling sad, I h 6. my boat under a big rock at Storvassdal.
I said good-bye to Grandfather, not knowing I would n 7. see him again.
In 1964, I went to Storvassdal with my parents and my wife and children. To my surprise, for 34 years my treasure s 8. here, waiting for my return. I felt we three were together again
a 9. my grandfather had died 22 years before.
After that, I returned to the lake five times. Each time I held the boat and carved the year, my g 10. seemed near.
My last trip to Storvassdal was in 1991. I brought my granddaughters: Catherine, 13; Claire, 12. At Storvassdal, Claire said softly, “Grandpa, someday I’ll come back.” She added, “And I’ll bring my children.”
