6、To us 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．Its first use was as a shade 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,way back in the eleventh century
B.
C.
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 authority．In the Far East in ancient times,the umbrella was allowed to be used only by royalty 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 umbrella 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 sixteenth century．And again it was considered 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 whole variety of colors.

7、Children for whom school has no point
Many children do not go to school either because their parents want them at home as carers for siblings,or simply because their parents cannot be bothered to send them．Thousands more are not registered at any school at all,because of their families'unstable lives.
Underlying this dreadful situation there are two central truths．First of all,the problem of children not going to school often has more to do with their parents than with the children themselves．Secondly,once children go to school,we need to make sure that the experience is a positive one so that they want to keep on going.
In Britain,the Ministry of Education has introduced a complex package of sticks and carrots to persuade Schools to bring truants'and excluded children back into the classroom．It is paying grants so that a thousand schools can set up special units to help these children．Schools receive the grant if they bring a target number of children back to school;if they do not meet the target,the grant is withdrawn.
Parents are the subject of this campaign,too:the Home Office has introduced fines for parents who fail to send their children to school,and has given the police power to pick up truants on the streets.
Truant=a child who does not go to school when he or she should.
The Home Office__.

9、If you want to stay young,sit down and have a good think．This is the research result of professor Faulkner,who says that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise and as a result,we are ageing unnecessarily soon.
Professor Faulkner wanted to find out why healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and to reason at a relatively early age,and how the process of ageing could be slowed down.
He set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and occupations．
Computer technology enabled him to obtain precise measurements of the volume of the front and side sections of the brain,which relate to intelligence and emotion,and determine the human character．
Contraction of front and side parts--as cells die off--was observed in some subjects in their thirties,but it was still not evident in some sixty-and seventy-year-olds.
Faulkner concluded from his tests that there is a simple way to slow the contraction—using the head.
The findings show that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns．Those least at risk,says Faulkner,are lawyers,followed by university professors and doctors．White--collar workers doing routine work are,however,as likely to have shrinking brains as the farm worker,bus driver and shop assistant.
Faulkner's findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking．Blood must circulate properly in the head to supply the fresh oxygen the brain cells need．"The best way to maintain good blood circulation is through using the brain,"he says．"Think hard and engage in conversation．Don't rely on pocket calculators."
The professor's tests show that__.
