阅读下面短文,用英语回答短文后的问题。(2025·江苏宿迁宿城区期中)
When I walk down the street in Beijing during summer, I often find it quite difficult to get where I’m going. Why? Because of all the umbrellas in my way.
Before I took a trip to China, I never saw people carrying umbrellas on sunny days. But in China, women carry umbrellas when it’s not raining. Why?
I find that there are two reasons for this. First, umbrellas protect people from the sun’s rays. Many Chinese cities get hot in summer. People sometimes carry umbrellas to stay cool. But wait a second. If umbrellas can help us stay cool, why don’t I ever see men carrying them?
That brings us to the second reason—stopping the sun’s rays helps women’s skin stay fair(白皙的). In China, people think fair skin is more beautiful than olive(淡褐色的) skin. Cosmetic(化妆品) companies even sell special creams and powder(美容粉) to make women’s skin look fairer.
Women in the USA really like to have olive skin. They think it’s more beautiful. Some people even lie outdoors in the sun for hours. But doing this too much can be dangerous, as the sun’s rays are bad for their skin.
In China, umbrellas aren’t just for rainy days. However, I don’t think I’m going to start carrying one anytime soon.
1. In which country do women carry umbrellas to protect themselves from the sun according to the article?
2. Why do women in China carry umbrellas when it is not raining?
3. Will you carry an umbrella when it’s not raining? Why or why not?
