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. |

A. 洋流 B. 潮汐 C. 海啸 D. 波浪 |

(1) Although we may not realize it, when we talk with others we make ourselves understood not just by words. We send messages to the people around us also by body movements. A smile and handshake(握手)show welcome. Waving one"s hand is to say "Goodbye". Nodding the head means agreement, while shaking it means disagreement. In China and some English-speaking countries, these body movements have the same meanings. But not all body languages mean the same things in different countries. For example, nodding the head in some Asian countries means not "Yes" but "No". When we speak a foreign language, (2) to know the meanings of the body movements is important in the foreign countries. In Russia, France and some of South American countries men kiss (吻) each other when they meet. Men don"t kiss each other in China or English-speaking countries. In England, older people usually shake hands when they meet someone for the first time. However, young people don"t shake hands. (3) In France, people shake hands in the office every morning. French people kiss each other more often than English people when they meet or leave. |
