They _36_ friendship to last forever. _37_, even the best friendship can end. As time goes by, many friendships end because of a(n) _38_ in personality or way of life. The friendship slowly loses importance and finally_39_. Tommy wrote, “I didnt even know the friendship was over until I caught myself thinking of Alan as a former friend.” Peter explained. “We _40_ seeing each other less and less. The friendship was just over.” Sometimes friendships_41_ suddenly from a disagreement or move to another place. Alice said, “The end of our friendship was a gradual thing. I moved from one side of the city to the other. Since then we _42_ made a phone call. We met less and less. At last our friendship ended.” Jack said, “ When I moved to Seattle after college, our friendship died. Both of us were always_43_ with new jobs, so we didnt keep _44_ touch with each other. Our friendship was so dead that I didnt call him _45_ I went home.” Yet the biggest problem to a friendship is change. Lillian Rubin in her book Just Friends say, “Generally its _46_ that friends will accept each other if they both remain what they were when they met, or change in similar directions. If they change or grow in different ways, the friendship most likely _47_ lost.” No matter why, when, or how friendships end, there is always _48 _ pain of loss. When nothing can be _49_ to keep the friendship, it is important to forget the pain. Then move on _50 _ new friendships.

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.（ ）56. Ancient people first used umbrellas as _.

The style of the umbrella hasn't changed a lot since it was invented（ ）60. This passage is mainly about _. A. the sales of the umbrella B. the differences among umbrellas C. the invention of the umbrella D. the history and the use of the umbrellaCHow quickly can you count from one to ten? Do you use ten different words to do it? Can you do it in English, or do you have to use your first languages? Do you count on your fingers? Many people think that numbers and math are the same all over the world. But scientists have discovered that it is not true.People in different parts of the world use different ways to count on their fingers. In the United States, people think begin counting with their first fingers, which they extend or stick out. They then extend the rest of their fingers and finally the thumb(拇指）to count to five. Then they repeat this with the other hand to get to ten. In China, people count by using different finger positions. In this way, a Chinese person can easily count to ten on only one hand.Besides ways of finger counting, scientists have found that cultures and languages are also different when it comes to numbers. Some languages have only a few words for numbers, and others have no words for numbers. A group of scientists studied aboriginal(土著的）people in Australia. These people dont have hand movements to stand for numbers. They dont even have word for numbers. However, they are still able to understand different ideas about numbers.In a similar study, researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology discovered that people of the Piraha tribe (部落） in northwestern Brazil dont have words for numbers such as “one” or “three.”. They are not able to say “five trees” or “ten trees” but can say “some trees,” “more trees,” or “many trees.” Professor Edward Gibson said that mist people believe that everyone knows how to count, “but here is a group that does not count. They could learn, but isnt not useful in their culture, so theyve never picked it up.”Although all humans are able to understand quantities(数量）,not all languages have numbers and not all people use counting. Number words in a certain language are a result of people needing numbers in their daily lives. Now we know that people have different ideas about numbers and math, too.（ ）61.
