24、   How could we tell time if there were no watches or clocks anywhere in the world?

The sun is probably the world’s first “clock”, except in the far north, where the Eskimos(爱斯基摩人)live. There, it’s dark most of the winter, and bright most of the summer. But in most of the world, people have used the sun as a clock. Even today, if you don't have a clock, you can still know that when the sun shines, it’s day and when it’s dark, it’s night. The sun can also tell you if it's morning, noon, or afternoon.

Some people live near the sea. They have their special way to tell time. In the daytime, for about six hours, water rises higher and higher on the beach. And then it goes down and down for about six hours. The same thing happens again at night. There are two high tides and two low tides every 24 hours. Seamen on the ship learn how to tell time by looking at the moon and the stars. The whole sky is their clock.

In some places in the world, the wind comes up at about the same time every day or changes direction or stops blowing. In these places the wind can be the clock.

A sand clock is an even better clock. If you had fine dry sand in a glass, you would have what is called an hourglass. The sand in the hourglass goes from the top part to the bottom in exactly one hour. When the hourglass is turned over, the sand will take another hour to go back again.

【1】From the passage we can know there are________ ways to tell time besides the clock and watch.

A.3 B.4 C.5 D.6

【2】The Eskimos in the far north can’t use the sun for a clock because________.

A.they know very little about the sun

B.the sun there never goes down in winter

C.it's too cold for them to go out to watch the sun

D.it has long dark winters and long bright summers

【3】In which column of a newspaper can you probably read this passage?

A.Entertainment. B.Science. C.Advertisement. D.Sports.

【4】What is the best title for the passage?

A.Different Ways to Tell Time B.How the Clock Was Invented

C.The Development of the Clock D.A Useful Machine to Tell Time

26、Marco Polo was from Venice, Italy. In 1271, at age 17, Marco went on a trip with his father and uncle to China. Today people often travel to different places around the world.

Homes were heated with “black stones... which burn like wood.” These stones were coal, and most of the Europeans knew little about it then.
