How could we tell time if there were no watches or clocks any where 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 fully, if you don’t have a clock that shows time, you still know that when the sun shines, it’s day, and when it’s dark, it’s night. The sun can not only tell you whether it’s day or night but also it’s morning, noon, or afternoon. When the sun is almost over your head, it’s noon. People who live near the sea can tell time from the tides（潮水）. 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 twenty-four hours. Seaman on a ship tells 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. From the passage we can know there are ____ ways to tell time besides the clock and watch. A. three B. four C. five D. seven 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.This passage is probably a kind of ___________. A. news B. science C. advertisement D. sports 4.What’s 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.

For hundreds of years, scientists have been trying to answer what things have an influence on people’s emotions. What your feeling is always controlled by many things. Your emotions can be influenced by your personality (个性), by the actions of others and by events around you. Perhaps you don’t know your emotions can be influenced by the weather as well. People often say they feel good when the sun is shining and sad when it is cloudy. In fact, sunlight makes us feel good. When sunlight hits our skins, our bodies produce a vitamin(维生素）. Vitamins are natural chemicals which we all need to stay healthy. Sunlight helps our bodies produce vitamin D. Vitamin D helps our bodies make a special chemical. This special chemical influence our brains and makes us feel happy. For example, there are long, dark winters of little sunlight in Sweden and Norway, so many people in these countries often feel sad. Without much sunlight, their bodies produce less vitamin D. Without enough vitamin D, their bodies make less ofthis special chemical which makes them feel good. To help the people in these countries feel better, special“sunrooms”with man-made lights have been built. People can go there and get “sunlight” for an hour or two. The weather can also influence people’s emotions in other ways. Hot weather can make people angry because people feel uncomfortable when they are hot. In the same way, rain can make people angry because being wet can be unpleasant. As you can see, the weather can have an effect on the chemicals which control our brains. Through these ways, the weather can influence our emotions. Sadly, while the weather can change us, we can hardly change the weather. 1. Which of the following can bet described as a factor(因素) that can influence one’s emotions? A. Weather. B. Actions of others. C. Personality D. A, B and C. 2.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “emotions” in Chinese? A. 运动 B. 情绪 C. 感动 D. 激动 3.Which of the following is TRUE about vitamin D according to the passage? A. It is a kind of man-made chemical. B. It makes us worried by influencing our brains. C. It is needed by us all to keep fit. D. It is in the sunlight. 4.What may be the best title for this passage? A. Why Do We Feel Sad. B. The Weather Influences People’s Emotion. C. People Need More Vitamin D. D. We Can Hardly Change the Weather.
