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. 1
The umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the Chinese were the first to use it.
We know that the umbrella was also used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use: 2 In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by those who held high office or by royal people such as the kings or queens.
3 And the umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece. But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use the umbrellas as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans. During the Middle Ages in Europe, the use of the umbrella almost disappeared. 4
Umbrellas have not changed much in styles during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight. 5
A. It wasn't until the twentieth century that the umbrellas for women began to be made in all kinds of colours.
B. People first used the umbrella to be against the rain.
C. Its first use was as the shade against the sun.

这是一道信息还原题，需要在给定的几个选项中选择合适的句子填入文章的空白处，使文章内容完整且逻辑清晰。文章主要讲述了伞的历史和用途变迁。我们需要根据文章的内容和上下文逻辑，选择最符合的选项填入每个空白处。
1. 第一个空白处后面提到“But in fact the umbrella was not invented as protection against the rain.”，说明伞的最初用途并不是为了挡雨，因此我们需要找到一个描述伞最初用途的选项。选项C“Its first use was as the shade against the sun.”符合这一描述。
2. 第二个空白处后面提到“In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by those who held high office or by royal people such as the kings or queens.”，说明在古代远东，伞是荣誉和权力的象征。因此，我们需要找到一个描述伞成为荣誉和权力象征的选项。选项D“It became a symbol of honour and power.”符合这一描述。
3. 第三个空白处后面提到“And the umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece.”，说明在古希腊，伞被广泛使用。结合前文提到的伞在古埃及和巴比伦作为遮阳伞的用途，我们需要找到一个描述古希腊人使用伞的选项。选项G“In Europe, perhaps the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade.”符合这一描述，并且与后文关于古希腊人广泛使用伞的内容相呼应。
4. 第四个空白处前面提到“During the Middle Ages in Europe, the use of the umbrella almost disappeared.”，说明在中世纪欧洲，伞的使用几乎消失了。我们需要找到一个描述伞再次成为某种象征的选项，以引出后文关于伞在之后的发展。选项F“And again it became a symbol of power.”符合这一描述。
5. 第五个空白处后面没有直接给出与伞用途或历史相关的描述，但考虑到这是文章的最后一句，我们需要找到一个总结性的选项，或者描述伞在之后的发展。选项A“It wasn't until the twentieth century that the umbrellas for women began to be made in all kinds of colours.”描述了伞在20世纪的发展，即女性伞开始出现各种颜色，符合作为文章结尾的总结性内容。
