Now, just 25 looking at letters from the Roman alphabet, you can see that these letters almost 26 in our modern English alphabet. A similar thing happened in the East. Paper was 27 in China early in the second century. Before that, written communication was done on rocks and shells.

B 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(权力). 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. ( )36.Ancient people first used umbrellas as _______.

Differing from the unmanned convenience stores or vending machines, which are usually placed in public places, these simple shelves packed with snacks and drinks are only found in private spaces such as office buildings, where they can help workers save the time and hassle of having to leave the office to buy refreshments(茶点). The purchasing process is simple: Consumers scan the QR code attached to the retailstation using the mobile payment apps Alipay or WeChat Pay, select the products they want, complete the payment, and then take the items. The prices in the retail stations are generally lower than in most convenience stores. “I used to have to walk a long way to get refreshments, but now I don't even have to leave the floor to fill my belly,” Mrs. Xia said. Some people doubt whether people could steal items from the shelves. But Mrs. Xia did not believe this would be a problem in her office. “The self-service retail stations are arranged inside the office building, which isn't easily accessible to people outside. And all my colleagues are well-mannered, they will not take things without paying,” she insisted. According to the statistics, people aged between 20 and 35 account for 85 percent of its users.
