How do we know the time? A clock, a watch or a mobile phone can help us. However, many years ago there were no clocks and knowing the time was not so easy. Over the centuries people have developed different ways of telling the time.

About 5,500 years ago, the Egyptians (埃及人) invented the sun clock. This was a tall stone building. Its shadow (影子) showed the movement of the sun. So people were able to know midday. The Egyptians made a sundial (日晷) about 3,500 years ago. It was smaller than the sun clock and could let people know the time for half a day. On cloudy days or at night it was impossible to tell the time with a sun clock or a sundial. Water clocks were the first clocks not to use the sun. The idea is simple. Water flows (流动) from one bottle to another. When the water reaches a certain level, it shows the hours. The Egyptians used water clocks about 3,400 years ago. These clocks were popular in the Middle East and China. But they failed to make people know the exact time.

In the 13th century, the mechanical (机械的) clock was invented. This was more exact, but it was expensive to make one. Over the next few centuries it was developed. In 1927, the first quartz (石英) clock was developed. It’s cheaper for ordinary people to own a clock. People began depending on them more and more to run businesses, markets and so on. In 1956, came the digital (数字的) clock. And nowadays satellites send our mobile phones the time to the exact second.

There has been a lot of progress in timekeeping. Clocks are always changing but some things never change. Many of us still have trouble getting out of bed on time and not being late for school or work.

A．water clock

B．sun clock

C．digital clock

D．mechanical clock

【2】How many kinds of clocks are mentioned in the passage?

【3】What’s the meaning of the underlined word “ordinary”?

C．富有的

D．普通的

【4】What does the passage mainly talk about?

A．The importance of time.

B．The development of timekeeping.

C．The inventions of clocks.

D．The history of a digital clock.

26、We usually think that plants always stay quiet and never speak. Grass doesn’t cry when you cut it; flowers don’t shout when people pick them. But in fact plants talk to each other all the time. Their language is one of chemicals.

Over the years, scientists have found that different types of plants, from trees to tomatoes（复合物） into the air to help neighboring plants. Scientists from Kyoto University in Japan looked at tomato plants that was bitten（被咬）by insects. To start out, they grew plants in two bags and joined the bags with a tube （管子）. One plant was bitten by insects. The other was clean.

They found that when insects bite plant leaves, the plants don’t sit quietly. They send a chemical called “hexvic” into the air. Humans can’t notice it, but these chemicals carry a smell that neighboring plants can notice. This way the same scientists put insects on the clean plants. The plants were able to kill nearly 50% of the insects, much more than their sick neighbors.

27、   Ray Charles, a black singer and pianist of the USA. He had won 12 Grammy Awards(格莱美奖) and performed at 10, 000 concerts around the world. Many musicians called him simply “The Genius”(天才).

Ray Charles was born into a poor family, without a father. When he was 5 years old, his younger brother died, and around the same time, Charles started to lose his sight. By the age of 7, he was completely blind. He had already been learning the piano for a year, and when he went blind, his mother knew this would be the only way he would make any money in the future. All his life, Charles remembered her saying: “Do it right, or don't do it at all.”

After they had been playing together for two hours, Charles, then aged 73, jumped up and said, “He's the one. He can do it.” A year later Charles died aged 74.

28、   Unless you are one of those rare people with an excellent memory, you probably have trouble remembering the names of people you have just met. This problem can be frustrating（令人沮丧的）and embarrassing. F【1】, there are a number of ways you can overcome this human weakness.

Before examining the methods to help remember people’s names, let’s look at the reasons why we are so f【2】 in the first place. Researchers think it’s due to a lack of motivation. People are better at remembering things that they want too learn. To put it simply, you’re just not that i【3】. Another reason is that putting a new face to a name is more complicated than we think, which leads to another problem. We usually don’t make the effort to m【4】 new names immediately. Not only that, but when meeting someone new, we may be thinking about other things and not be paying enough attention.

All of this means that we need to take measures to avoid the embarrassment of forgetting a person’s name. One good method is to say a person’s name when you g【5】 them and also repeat it silently to yourself a few times. This type of repetition is essential for learning any type of skill. Using a memory method, such as l【6】 individual names with something else, also helps. For example, if someone’s name is Ben and he is tall, you can label him（to yourself, of course）“Big Ben.”In addition, focusing on people and listening more closely when you meet them will assist you in recalling their names. Although forgetting name isn’t a matter of life or death, it’s uncomfortable. Putting these t【7】 into practice will help you better avoid this social discomfort.
