In ancient times, umbrellas were made of materials like silk, paper and bamboo, and came in different colors and designs. They were used to protect people against the sun and rain, and they were also used in some special situations. For example, a red umbrella was used at weddings in some places.

C. E.). The wife of famous carpenter Lu Ban made the first umbrella to protect him from bad weather.

This special cleaning activity helps people welcome the new season with a fresh and organized living space. Spring cleaning has been a tradition for centuries in China. After long winter months, people want to clean their homes when the weather turns warm. In spring, the humidity (湿 度) can be high, and a deep cleaning helps prevent mold (霉菌) growth and keeps homes fresh. In Chinese culture, it's also considered that doing spring cleaning can bring good luck. In western countries, spring cleaning also has a long history. In past centuries, houses were heated with wood or coal. Before electricity was widely used, people used oil lamps, so houses were full of dirt (尘). Cold weather also meant less airflow, which caused houses to smell bad. Warmer weather brought fresh air and a chance to wash away winter's dirt and smell. In fact, spring cleaning may have more than these. A psychologist (心理学家) reports that cleaning our homes can be good for our brains and bodies. Cleaning produces a result that we not only see but also feel. We will feel relaxed while doing something meaningful like sweeping the floor. And when our homes are clean and organized, we feel comfortable. For families, spring cleaning can make children a tidy study area to help them pay more attention to homework. Finding school things becomes easier for children when everything is organized. When families clean together, they share duties and create closer relationships. So, this spring, grab a cloth, wear a smile, and make your living space as fresh as spring. 71. When do people usually do spring cleaning? _______________________________________________________ 72.
