The time may be 10 a．m．in Beijing and 2 a．m．in New York．It is set on the same time—Greenwich Mean Time．This is because in l884, many nations met to decide how to prevent the confusion（混乱）made by almost every town having its own time．

Such a time rule was devised（设计）by Sir Sanford Fleming（1827-1915）．He was an engineer who lived in Canada．He held a meeting in 1884 to discuss the time problem．He suggested that there should be 24 meridians（子午线）dividing the world into 24 time zones（时区）．The zero meridian would pass through the village of Greenwich near London．The time at Greenwich would be called Greenwich Mean Time，and at each of the 24 meridian lines，the time would go forward or backwards by one hour．

Twenty-seven nations agreed to this suggestion，and since then GMT has been the centre of time-keeping for all nations．Most nations have only one time zone，however，large nations such as the USA and Australia are divided into several time zones．

1．What time is it in New York when it is 10 a．m．in Beijing?

2．Who devised Greenwich Mean Time?

3．When was the meeting held to discuss the time problem?

4．How many nations agreed to Greenwich Mean Time?

5．Does Australia have only one time zone?

On a cold December morning, my mother and I were walking home from pizza store. We were  35 warmly and equipped with the video we had been trying to watch. I was feeling a little tired  36 I was carrying our shopping bags of snacks and the video.
They were so  37 that I decided to throw away some of them. So I started to walk towards the dustbin when I noticed a poor man stepping out of the restaurant in front of us. He held a paper bag with his dirty hand. He  38 over to another nearby dustbin and started looking  39 it.
I suddenly felt very upset. I know this man would take all he could get, so I walked up to him and  40 the drink and some snacks to him. The man, with lines on his face and wrinkles(皱纹) on his forehead, looked up in  41 and took what I gave him.
A huge smile spread across his face and this made  42  feel indescribable satisfaction(满意). I felt like I couldn’t be happier with myself, but then he said, “Wow, first someone gives me this sandwich, then this drink, and now some tasty food, this is my daughter’s  43 day!”
He thanked me happily and started off on his bike. I even heard him whistling(吹哨) a song as he  44 away.
I now understand what is meant by the saying “giving is getting”. Everyone in the world needs help, everyone can  45 help and everyone will be helped by something kind.
The image(图像) of that man’s happiness  46 by my small gift appears in my mind every time I have the chance to do something nice.
