I sometimes wonder what a being from another planet might report back about our way of life. "The planet Earth is ruled by a mysterious creature that sits or stands in a room and makes a strange ticking sound. It has a face with twelve black marks and two hands. Men can do nothing without its permission, and it fastens its young round people's wrists so that everywhere men go they are still under its control. This creature is the real master of Earth and men are its slaves（奴隶）."
Whether or not we are slaves of time today depends on our culture and personality, but it is believed that many years ago kings kept special slaves to tell the time. Certain men were very clever at measuring（量） the time of clay according to the beating of their own hearts. They were made to stand in a fixed place and every hour or so would shout tire time. So it seems that the first clocks were human beings.
However, men quickly found more convenient and reliable（可靠的） ways of telling the time. They learned to use the shadows cast by the sun. They marked the hours on candles, used sand in hour- glasses, and invented water-clocks. Indeed, any serious student of antique should spend as much time as possible visiting palaces, stately homes and museums to see some of the finest examples of clocks from the past.
Antique clocks could be very expensive, but one of the joys of collecting clocks is that it is still possible to find quite cheap ones for your own home. After all, if you are going to be ruled by time, why not invest in air antique clock and perhaps make a future profit（收益）?

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 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 sand will take another hour to go back again．
1．From the passage we can know there are _____ ways to tell time besides the clock and watch．
A．3 B．4 C．5 D．7

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 day and long light summers
3．The underlined word “tide” in the passage means _______．
A．洋流 B．潮汐 C．海啸 D．波浪
4．In which page of the newspapers probably read this passage?
A．News． B．Science． C．Advertisement D．Sports．
5．What’s the best title for the passage?
A．Different Ways to Tell Time B．How the Clock Was Invented
C．The Development of the Clock D．A Useful Machine to Tell Time
