What time is it?There are many ways you can find out the time. You may have a watch on your wrist(手腕).You can look at a clock on the wall. You can listen to the radio,watch TV or ring a number on the telephone to get the time.
It has not always been easy to know the time. A long time ago people looked at the sun to tell the time. They could tell the time of the day by looking at the sun in the sky:morning,afternoon or evening.
Around the year 1400,people began to use the hourglass(沙漏).It was made of glass with some sand in it. It was wide at both ends,but narrow in the middle. The sand ran from one end to the other in one hour. At the end of every hour,people turned the glass over and began again. Hundreds of years later a machine called clock was invented.

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. Its first use was as a sunshade(遮阳伞).
Nobody knows who first invented it,but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the Chinese were the first to use it,back in the 11th century BC.
We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing that connected with its use:it was a symbol of honor and power. In the Far East in ancient times,the umbrella was allowed to be used only by those in the upper class or by royal people such as 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 16th century. And again it became a symbol of power.
The umbrella has not changed much in style during all the time,though it has become much lighter in weight. It wasn't until the 20th century that the umbrellas for women began to be made in all kinds of colors.
