David came from a poor family．When he finished his high school, however, he was given a wonderful present．“Some of my friends got new clothes and a rich boy even got a new car,” he remembered, “My dad reached into his trousers pocket and took something out．I held out my hand, and his present dropped into it－a nickel(五分镍币)．”
Dad said to me, “Buy a newspaper with that．Read every word of it．Then turn to the classified section(分类栏目)and get yourself a job．Get into the world．It’s all yours now．” I always thought that was a great joke my father had played on me until a few years later when I was in the army, sitting in a foxhole(战壕), and thinking about my family and my life．It was then I realized that my friends had got only new cars, or only new clothes．My father had given me the whole world．What a great present!”

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．
