Danny was just tired about the way things were going．His mom came to the school and went on and on about Rick Jackson．It seemed that she would never stop talking．"Somebody's got to stop that boy! " she was shouting．"Rick's troubling everybody in the neighborhood(四邻)．And he loves to pick on(结交)little boys like Danny．"
Mrs．Green, Danny's teacher, was concerned(担心)a lot．"I didn't know that Danny was being picked on, " she answered．"He's never said anything about this to me! " Mrs．Green looked at Danny．"How long has this been going on? " she asked．Danny could only shake his head and look at the floor．He knew if he said a word about this, he would have trouble after school．
Danny hadn't said anything about the problem because he wanted to do things with the boys in the neighborhood．After all, most of them were nice to him．He hated to leave the gang just because of Rick．Maybe the time had come to find new friends．He felt it hard to make up his mind．

Shaoxing is also the hometown to many outstanding persons such as Cai Yuanpei, Lu Xun and Zhou Enlai．Chairman Mao Zedong once wrote a poem, praising Shaoxing as the“home of famous names”．

“
You can know the history of Shaoxing when you walk along the route,”said Shan Guoquan, the person who planned the route．

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 fooday, 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 directly overhead, it’s noon．
People who live near the sea from the tides．In the daytime, for about six hours, the water rises higher and higher on the beach．And then it 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 leall 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．
