That is, the BBC is supposed not to be the mouthpiece（代言人）of the government. It has to be as fair as possible in giving radio and television time to, for example, political parties and religious groups.‎ There is a kind of interesting service in British-rental services. Many people prefer to rent their television sets instead of buying them.‎ The rent for a black and white set is about 80 pence a week .

It is germs (细菌). Germs are everywhere. They are very small and you can't find them with your eyes, but you can see them with a microscope. They are very small and there could be hundreds of them on a very small thing.‎ Germs are always found in dirty water. When we look at dirty water under the microscope，we shall see them in it. So your father and mother will not let you drink dirty water.‎ Germs aren't found only in the water. They are found in the air and dust. If you cut your finger，if some of the dust from the ‎ floor goes into the cut (割开处), some of the germs would go into your finger.

Its first use was as a shade against ‎ the sun.‎ Nobody knew 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 uses: it became a symbol of honor and power. 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.
