Bricks【C1】________ have been known in Britain before then, but they were not【C2】________ enough to be mentioned by any write. We know that they were used in ancient Egypt, in India, and in the Roman【C3】________; they were used again in parts of Europe; but there is a strange【C4】________ in the history of brickmaking
which left Britain, at【C5】________, without bricks for building for several hundred years. When they did arrive in Britain, it was in a very【C6】________ way.

These bricks must have been a godsend to the builders of London and southeast England. There was very【C17】________ building stone in that part of the country, and stocks of good building【C18】________ were running【C19】________. Bricks were first used for the big houses of rich people living in the countryside, and only later for town houses and【C20】________ cottages.

选项
A、place
B、position
C、stance
