     The time may be 10 am in Beijing and 2 am in New York.  It is set  on the same time-Greenwich
 Mean Time. This is because in 1884, 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 int0 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 am in Beijing?

One morning, a blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet .He held a sign which said,“I am blind. Please help me.”
There were only a few coins(硬币) in the hat. A man was walking by. He took out a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat .He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words on it. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by could see the new words.
Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and ask,“Are you the one who changed my sign in the morning? What did you write?”
The man said,“I only wrote the truth. I said what you said, but in a different way.”
What he had written was,“Today is a beautiful day, but I can’t see it.”
Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing?
Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat. The second sign told people that they were able to enjoy the beauty of the day, but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind.
The first sign simply said the boy was blind, while the second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind.
