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 sunshade(遮陽傘)．
Nobody knows who first invented it，but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the Chinese were the first to use it，back in the 11th century BC．
We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing that connected with its use：it was a symbol of honor and power. In the Far East in ancient times，the umbrella was allowed to be used only by those in the upper class or by royal people such as 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 16th century. And again it became a symbol of power.
The umbrella has not changed much in style during all the time，though it has become much lighter in weight. It wasn't until the 20th century that the umbrellas for women began to be made in all kinds of colors.
1.Ancient people first used umbrellas as ________.
A. a symbol of honor
B. protection against the sun
C. a symbol of power
D. protection against the rain
2.According to the passage，the umbrella was probably first used in ancient ________.
A. Egypt B. Babylon C. Rome D. China
3.The underlined word “royal” might mean “________” in Chinese.

B. Europeans hardly used the umbrella during the Middle Ages.
C. The umbrellas for women were made colorful in ancient time.
D. The style of the umbrella hasn't changed a lot during all the time.

7 January, 2014
A new report says more and more international students are attending colleges and universities in the United States. It also notes a large increase in the number of international students from China.
These findings are from the latest Open Doors Report. The report documents the record number of international students in the United States during 2012, 2013 school year. It says more than seven hundred sixty-four thousand four-hundred such students were attending American colleges and universities during the last two years. That represents an increase of almost six percent than one year earlier.
On the other hand, the number of Americans studying overseas (海外) increased by one percent, which reached nineteen thousand this year.
The report says one hundred ninety-four thousand students at American colleges and universities were from
China. That is an increase of more than twenty-three percent over the year before. Peggy Blumenthal, an expert(專家) of international education, described the effect of the increase in Chinese students.
"Now they have been coming for some time. But this year was the highest level ever." She says many Chinese families are able to pay for the highest-quality education for their children. The children mainly choose to study in America.
"We know many of them have enough income to be able to afford to send them anywhere in the world that they want to go. And for the most part, looking around the world, Chinese students still prefer to come to the United States as their choice."
Chinese students are not the only ones who want to attend American colleges and universities. After China, India sends the second largest number of students to the United States for higher education. India has about one hundred thousand students in American schools. South Korea is third with about seventy two thousand students.
Why do so many foreign students study in the United States? Peggy Blumenthal provides one reason.
"The advantage America has is that we have a huge system and a very perfect system. So there are over four thousand universities and colleges in the United States. Among them are some top ones in the world, and what that tells us is there is still a lot of room to host international students."
Foreign students represent less than four percent of the total student population in American higher education. And from Learning English, that's the VOA Special English Education Report. I'm Bob Doughty. Thanks for listening.
