         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 (爱斯基摩人) 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 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 word "tides" in the passage means  ______.         
    A. 洋流            
    B. 潮汐         
    C. 海啸            
    D. 波浪
    4. In which page of a newspaper can you most probably read  this passage?           
    A. News.               
    B. Science.           
    C. Business.           
    D. Advertisement.
    5. 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
