21、   How could we tell time if there were no watches or clocks anywhere in the world? The sun was probably the world’s first “clock”, except in the far north, where the Eskimos live. There, it’s dark most of the winter, and light most of the summer. But in most of the world, people have used the sun for a clock. Even today, if you don’t have a clock, you 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.

People who live near the sea can tell time from the tides. In the daytime, for about six hours, the 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 a 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 shaped like the one in the picture, you would have what is called an hourglass. The sand in the hourglass goes from the top part to the bottom part in exactly one hour. When the hourglass is turned over, the sand will take another hour to go back again.

【1】According to（根据）the passage, there are _______ ways to tell time besides the clock and watch.

A. 3 B. 4 C. 5 D. 7

【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 light summers

【3】The underlined（下划线）word “tides” in the passage means __________.

A. 洋流 B. 潮汐 C. 海啸 D. 波浪

【4】What’s the best title for the passage?

A. Different Ways to Tell Time B. Useful Machines to Tell Time

C. The History of the Clock D. The Development of the Clock

Charles Dickens

One Christmas Eve, old Scrooge and Bob were working busily in his office. It was a cold, foggy day. The fog was so thick that the houses opposite were like ghosts. It was only three o’clock in the afternoon, but it was already quite dark.

“Merry Christmas, Uncle! God bless you!” cried a happy voice. It was Scrooge's nephew.

“Bah!" said Scrooge. "Humbug(骗人的话)! ”

“Christmas is a humbug! Surely you don’t mean that, uncle.” said his nephew.

“I do.” said Scrooge “Merry Christmas! What reason have you got to be merry? You are poor.”

“OK, then,” replied the nephew cheerfully. “What reason have you got to be sad? You are rich. Don't be angry, Uncle!” said his nephew.

“What else can I be?” answered the uncle. "I live in a world of fools! Merry Christmas! What's Christmas time to you? It's a time for paying bills without money. It's time for finding yourself a year older, but not richer. Everyone who goes around saying “Merry Christmas” should have his tongue cut out. Yes, he should!"

“Uncle! Please don't say that!” said the nephew. “I've always thought of Christmas time as a good time, a kind, and a charitable happy time. And so, Uncle Christmas has never put any gold or silver in my pocket, but I think it has done me good. And it will do me good. And I say, God bless it!” 

Bob, standing in the corner of the room, applauded( 鼓掌). He realized his mistake every soon, and went quickly back to his work, but Scrooge had heard him.

“One more sound from you. Bob Cratchit," said Scrooge,” and you'll cerebrate Christmas by losing your job!”

“Don't be angry with him, Uncle. Come and have dinner with us tomorrow.”

“No.” said Scrooge.

“I'm sorry you don't want to cerebrate Christmas. But I do. So a Merry Christmas, Uncle!”

“Good afternoon!” said Scrooge.

“And happy New Year!” said his nephew.

“Good afternoon!” said Scrooge again.
