    The BBC was founded in 1922, including radio and television services. It is based at Broadcasting House in London.

    The BBC is controlled by some governors chosen by the government, but these people have freedom and the government can't interfere(干扰). 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 British­rental 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. The rent of a color set is more than twice that of a black and white set. If the sets go wrong, people can have them repaired free of charge or replaced immediately.

    Everyone has to buy a yearly license, since there is no advertising on BBC radio or television. It is from the sale of licenses that the BBC gets most of its money. A license for a black and white set costs 8 pounds, and for a color set 18 pounds a year.

    There are four special radio channels, which broadcast different kinds of programmes. Radio 1 is mainly pop music. Radio 2 deals with light music, sports and other programmes. Radio 3 broadcasts serious music, talks on serious subjects, etc. News broadcasts are mainly given by Radio 4.

    There are special programmes for Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and certain parts of England. It also broadcasts programmes about Britain — in many different languages as well as in English to all parts of the world.

                                                                                                        扬州玉器
        ①扬州是我国玉器加工的重要基地之一。
        ②扬州的琢玉工艺源远流长,古籍《书经·禹贡篇》便有“雍州贡琳琅”、“扬州贡瑶琨”的记述,把扬州琢玉史追溯到4000年前的夏代。1977年在扬州蜀冈尾闾,发现新石器时代后期氏族公共墓葬60多处,有石斧、石锛、玉璧、玉琮等器物,说明早在4000年前的夏代,先民们就在这里生产生活,有了玉石琢磨的活动。
         ③汉代扬州的琢玉工艺,随着经济和政治的变化,更有了进一步的发展。从出土的玉器中,可知扬州玉器到了汉代,由小件发展到中件,从一般的装饰品玉镯、玉环发展至观赏的玉蝶、玉璧、辟邪等。唐代的扬州琢玉,在当时手工业兴盛中有新的发展。一方面,贵族豪门用之于装饰楼阁建筑炫耀门庭,所谓“雕栏玉户”者是也。另一方面,在民间以小件玉器作为佩饰用品亦渐开风气,同时扬州玉器和琢玉技艺也陆续对外交流。宋、元、明时代,扬州玉器已向陈列品方面发展,花鸟、炉瓶等品种日见丰富,琢玉中的镂空、圆雕技法亦始于宋代。扬州琢玉工艺发展到清代中叶,可以说诸品齐备,艺术水平空前提高。尤其是乾隆年间进入全盛时期,扬州成为全国玉材的主要集散地和玉器主产制作中心之一。两淮盐政除在建隆寺设有玉局,大量承制清朝宫廷各种大型陈设玉器外,每年还按岁例向朝廷进贡大量玉器。如:有名的白玉如意,用和田羊脂玉琢制,玉料洁白无瑕,凝腻如脂,造型精致典雅,被定为“扬州八贡”之一,每年都要大批送缴宫廷,供皇宫内院陈设或作为对臣下进行奖赏的“御品”。现在,北京故宫博物院珍藏的清宫中重达千斤、万斤的近十件大型玉器多半出于扬州琢玉艺人之手。由此可见,清代扬州琢玉技巧和艺术水平之高,生产规模和作业能力之大,能工巧匠之多,实是前所未有。
       ④进入20世纪50年代,扬州琢玉业开始复兴,成为现代中国玉器的主要产区。今天的扬州玉器,全面继承和发展了传统优良技艺。艺师们设计制作了大批造型优美、琢工精致的玉器,艺术水平仍居全国前列,产品在国际市场上享有盛誉。70年代初琢制的《白玉宝塔炉》,1986年琢成的《白玉五行塔》,同年琢制完成的《聚珍图》碧玉山,1989年运用薄胎工艺琢成的青玉《百寿如意》,1990年运用“山子雕”工艺琢成的白玉山《大千佛国图》,均荣获国家金杯。上述5件玉器,经国家评定为珍品,现收藏在中国工艺美术馆珍宝馆内。
