One day the employees of a large company in St Louis，Missouri returned from their lunch break and were greeted with a sign on the front door. The sign said：“Yesterday the person who has been hindering (阻碍) your growth in this company passed away. We invite you to join the funeral(葬礼) in the room that has been prepared in the gym.”

At first everyone was sad to hear that one of their colleagues had died，but after a while they started getting curious about who this person might be.

The excitement grew as the employees arrived at the gym to pay their last respects. Everyone wondered：“Who is this person that was hindering my progress? Well，at least he’s no longer here.”

One by one the employees got closer to the coffin(棺材) and when they looked inside it they became speechless. They stood over the coffin，shocked and in silence，as if someone had touched the deepest part of their soul.

There was a mirror inside the coffin：Everyone who looked inside it could see himself. There was also a sign next to the mirror that said. “There is only one person who can set limits to your growth：it is YOU.”

You are the only person who can revolutionize(彻底改变) your life. You are the only person who can influence your happiness，your realization and your success. You are the only person who can help yourself.

Your life does not change when your family changes，when your friends change，when your boss changes，and when your company changes.

Your life changes when YOU change，when you go beyond your limiting beliefs，when you realize that you are the only one responsible for your life.

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 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 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 another 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 above, 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 it turned over, the sand will take another hour to go back again.

1.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. there are long dark winters and long light summers in the far north

2.The underlined word “tides” in paragraph 3 means ___________.

A. ocean current

B. storm

C. a regular rise and fall of the sea

D. wave

3.In which part of the newspaper can you probably read this passage?

A. News B. Science

C. Business D. Advertisement

4.What’s the best title for the passage?

A. Different Ways to Tell Time

B. Useful Machine to Tell Time

C. The History of the Clock

D. The Development of the Clock

5.How many ways are mentioned in the passage to tell time?

A. Five B. Four C. Six D. Three

 

Those who have ______ floods and sandstorms know the importance of environmental protection.

A. gone through B. gone over

C. gone across D. gone down
