21、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 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 the sundial 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 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 clock was invented. This was more exact, but it was expensive to make one. Over the next few centuries it was developed. For example, springs (发条) were added around 1500. This enabled people to get the correct time and allowed clocks to be smaller. In 1927, the first quartz clock was developed. Clocks became cheaper to build. It’s also cheaper for ordinary people to own a clock. People began depending on them more and more to run businesses, markets and so on. More recently in 1956, came the digital clock. And nowadays satellites send our mobile phones the time to the exact second.

There has been a lot of progress in time keeping. 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.

【1】What’s the meaning of the underlined word “ordinary” in the third paragraph?

A．Rich.

B．Usual.

C．Strange.

D．Not important.

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

A．Four.

B．Five.

C．Six.

D．Seven.

【3】Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?

A．①/②③/④

B．①/②③④

C．①②③/④

D．①/②/③④

【4】What does the passage mainly talk about?

A．The importance of time.

B．The inventions of clocks.

C．The history of a digital clock

D．The development of timekeeping.

22、

Do you know which social app Chinese young people use a lot now? “Short videos” are certainly the most popular. Some users use Tik Tok and Kuaishou. They think it is fun to share short videos about their lives, while others have other purposes as well.

As some videos are about the latest news, a group of users depend on them to get information. To some other users, they have a different purpose. “Because I can’t spend many hours watching a whole video and I’m not a very patient person. I don’t like waiting for a program to end. I like to watch short videos of wonderful parts in program.” said Wang Zhihao.

However, some young Chinese feel bored with some short videos. “Killing time is the main reason for me to watch the short videos, but many are almost the same, so I think it is a waste of time. What’s more, I really don’t like the videos which show odd even dangerous things,” said Wen Nan, another college student.

Recently, something else has happened. Some videos are telling people what products are worth buying.

But after they buy the products, they may feel sorry soon. So they should think twice. Some short videos even sell bad products, but these sellers won’t let you get your money back.

Teachers’Day

People in many countries celebrate World Teachers’ Day on 5 th October, but in Argentina（阿根廷） it is on 11 th September—the anniversary（周年纪念日） of the death of former president, Domingo Faustino Sarmiento in 1888. Sarmiento believed passionately in the importance of education: he wrote “Schools are the very basis of civilization.” Children traditionally write poems for their teachers and give them an apple, make a cake or buy flowers. In Vietnam（越南）, Educators’ Day is in November. Everyone has a day off school, and many students visit their former teachers in their homes to give them presents, or give news about themselves. And at some schools in India, senior students become teachers, and teachers become students for the day!

World Book Day

In many countries, Book Day is on 23 rd April every year. It originated（起源于） in Catalonia（加泰罗尼亚） in 1923 when booksellers decided to honour the Spanish author Miguel de Cervantes who died on that day in 1616. In 1995, World Book Day became an international event, celebrating books and reading. People exchange presents – usually a book and a rose. There are also events such as writing competitions, and in Madrid（马德里） there is a public reading of Cervantes’s greatest work – Don QuijoteSSS – which lasts 48 hours! In the UK and Ireland, all schoolchildren receive a one-pound book token（购书券）, and many children now dress up as their favourite character from fiction!

Everyone has a day off school or work and people organize celebrations for the older people of the village or community where they live, Young people dress up in traditional clothes.
