Greenwich is on River Thames, five miles from the center of London, and its history is two thousand years old. The first English people were fishermen there, and named the place Greenwich, meaning “green village”. Later the English kings and queens lived at Greenwich in their beautiful palaces.
The name of the earliest palace was Placentia. Its windows were made of glass－the first in England. Henry Ⅷ lived there. He knew that English must be strong at sea. So he started two big ship yards at Greenwich, and for 350 years the ships which were made there were the best in the world.
But trouble was coming to Greenwich. In 1649, a war started in England and for eleven years there was no king. The men who had worked for him at Placentia decided to live in the place themselves. They sold all its beautiful things, and bought small pieces of the palace garden with money. Finally, the war ended and the King Charles II came back. But Placentia was falling down. So King Charles built a new and bigger palace, which is now open to public.
At this time Charles was worried about losing so many of his ships at sea：their sailors did not know how to tell exactly where they were. So in 1675, Charles made John Flamsteed, the first astronomer in England, try to find the answer. Flamsteed worked in a new building on the high ground in Greenwich Park. From it, with a telescope which he made himself, Flamsteed could look all around the sky. And he did night after night, for twenty years. Carrying on Flamsteed's work a hundred years later, an astronomer called Harrison finally made a clock which told the time at sea, and helped sailors to know where they were. You can see Harrison's clock, still working, in Greenwich's museum of the sea. Because of Flamsteed's work, every country in the world now tells its time by Greenwich time.

Explosive sound and energy
ROCK music didn’t exist 60 years ago． 1 Someone didn’t just wake up and invent rock．So, how did it happen? What is rock?Although impossible to strictly define, it’s generally recognized that rock music was born in 1950s America． 2 At this time, early “rockers”were mixing the country music of white America with the rhythm and blues sound loved by the black US citizens．The result was rock‘n’ roll．The record most commonly considered as the beginning of the rock ‘n’ roll period is Bill Haley & The Comets’1954 recording of “Rock Around the Clock”． 3 Elvis’s 1950s recordings established the basic language of rock ‘n’ roll; his explosive stage presence set standards for the music’s visual image, while his voice was powerful and interesting．
4 Despite the different directions and sound of rock bands over the last 50 years, there is something common to all the greats：a charming lead vocalist, a talented guitarist full of energy and creativity, a bassist with cool indifference and a drummer．
For most of its life, rock has been split into different parts, creating new styles every few years－giving birth to a never-ending number of sub-genres． 5 Rock is a generic term, but it’s exciting that it can now mean so many different things．
A．Rock is my favorite and I’ll be a popular singer．
B．Now, it’s one of the world’s most popular genres．But musical styles don’t spring up overnight．
C．Rock had a specific sound and image for only a few of its early years．As time went by, the genre began to place equal emphasis on skills and pushing the boundaries of the music．
D．In fact, in the West, musically speaking, the years 1953～1955 are known as the rock ‘n’ roll years．
E．As a result, “rock”has been used to describe everything from bands playing catchy rhythms to groups based on tuneless, noisy guitars．
F．Rock music will be held in our school if we send an invitation to the band．
G．But it was Elvis Presley, known as “The King of Rock and Roll”, who really popularized the new sound throughout America and the Western world．
