How did people tell the time before clocks were invented?
At first, the ancient people looked up at the sun and could tell it was the middle of the day when the sun was directly overhead in the sky. They also knew when it was morning or evening.
Later, the Egyptians used sticks. These sticks measured (测量) time during the day. The sun shone on the tall stick and the stick made a shadow(阴影). As the sun moved across the sky, the position (位置) of the shadow changed. This would let people tell what time it was.
Over time, the Chinese first used sundials instead of shadow sticks. The sundial has a type of shadow stick on it. As the sun shines on it, a shadow appears on the numbers. Each number stands for an hour of the day. But sundials don't work at night or on a cloudy day! There are no shadows unless the sun is out.
Water clocks used water to measure time at night. Water dripped(滴落) slowly from one bowl into another.The level of the water in the bowls showed the time.
People also used sand-glasses. You may have seen one. Some games still use sand-glasses. The sand falls from the top of the sand-glasses to the bottom. It measures short amounts of the time. The more sand falls, the more time has passed. When the sand has finished falling, you have to turn the sand-glasses over.
39. At first, the ancient people told the time by looking at
A. the stick B. the shadow C. the sun D. the moon
40. Which picture can be a "sundial"?

A. B. C. D.


41. Sundials can be used to tell the time when it is
A. sunny B. rainy C. cloudy D. snowy
42. Which is right according to the passage?
A. Sticks measured time in Egypt day and night.
B. Sundials were first used in ancient Egypt.
C. Sand-glasses usually measure a long time.
D. The water clock told the time by the water level in the bowls.

Have you ever had an experience where you meet someone new, learn his name and think to yourself,"Wow, they really look just like their names!" What does this mean, exactly? Scientists are suggesting that humans manage to contact people's names with their appearance, and can even guess someone's name based on how they look.
Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Israel collected thousands of photos of
people's faces.They labeled (贴标签) each photo with four names. Then, they asked volunteers to guess which of the four names was correct.
The volunteers guessed nearly four names correctly out of ten. It seems that humans are able to recognize ( 认 出 ) certain characteristics of faces that can give them clues about someone's name, Reader's Digest reported.
However, this only works when we're looking at names within our own culture. In addition, the volunteers were not as good at guessing the real names of people who use nicknames(昵称)more often than their real names. This shows that a person's appearance is influenced by his name only if they use it often.
This kind of face-name matching happens "because of a process of self-fulfilling prophecy (自我实现预言), as we become what other people expect us to become", Ruth Mayo from the university told science news website Eurek Alert.
Earlier studies have shown that gender(性别)and race(种族)stereotypes(刻板印象)can influence a person's appearance.The researchers believe there are also similar stereotypes about names. For example, people manage to think that men named Bob should have rounder faces because the word itself looks round. People may think that women named Rose are beautiful. They expect them to be delicate and feminine, just like the flower they are named for.
43. What does the passage mainly tell us?
A. People can guess others' names based on their appearance.
B. There are several ways to guess a stranger's name.
C. A person's appearance can be influenced by three factors.
D. It's not polite to ask strangers about their names.
44. Dr Ruth Mayo thinks some people look like their names because of .
A. their different cultures B. a self-fulfilling prophecy
C. racial stereotypes D. their living environment
45. According to the passage, men named Bob are expected to
A. wear glasses B. have big eyes C. look beautiful D. have round faces
46. What do we know from this research?
A. Nicknames have a bigger influence on people's appearance.
B. Gender and race have no influence on a person's appearance.
C. The volunteers were able to guess the right name 40% of the time.
D. People are good at recognizing the different characteristics of faces.

D
Years passed and Dorian remained beautiful and young. From time to time, strange stories about his way of life crept through London. But he looked so innocent (无辜的) that nobody could believe anything bad of him. He often went upstairs to the locked room, opened the door with the key that never left him and stood, with a minor, in front of the portrait(画像) that Basil had painted of him. He looked at the evil and ageing face in the portrait, and then at his beautiful young face in the mirror. The contrast (对比) made him happy. He loved his good looks.

him. He walked on, but Basil recognized him.
"Dorian! This is lucky! I've just come from your house. I'm going to Paris on the midnight train, and I wanted to see you before I leave. Didn't you recognize me?”
"Not in this fog, Donan replied."I can't even recognize my house.
"I'm sorry you're going away. Will you be back soon?"
"No, I'm going to be away for six months. Well, here we are at your door. Let me come in for a moment. I need to talk to you."
"Of course, but won't you miss your train?" asked Dorian as he walked up the steps and opened the
door.
"I've got plenty of time,"he answered. Fie train won't leave till twelve fifteen, and it's only eleven." Dorian looked at him and smiled,"Come in."

A friend of yours just got a new haircut. Deep down, you think it's terrible. However, you say it looks beautiful. You just told a little white lie. 61 Instead, he felt kind of comfortable.
People tell white lies all the time. They don't do it to get anything like money. They do it because they're kind to others. 62 They want to make others feel comfortable.
They also do it to protect themselves. White lies may help keep the peace. In that way, they are kind. 63 If you tell the other that his haircut is terrible, how terrible he may feel!
White lies are not really little or kind in the end. Over time, people around white liars get to know their habits. That causes the people to lose trust in what the liars say. 64
Telling white lies all the time also does something bad to the liars. Some are not honest with themselves. 65 Then, they don't know what they can do when others finally know about the truth.
White lies may be good at times, but people will still have to pay the pnce with their feelings.

Today, we consider zero as a common number. Few of us know zero has an unusual history. Yes, zero is, in fact, different from the other numbers.
At first, there were only the numbers one to nine. Zero started to be seen in India about 2,000 years ago. Many other ancient cultures had been marking nothingness. However, the ancient Indians were the first to consider nothingness as a number.
Little by little, communication around the world became more often. Finally, zero was brought out of India. It was accepted as an Arabic(阿拉伯的) number. During the 13th century, Arabic numbers were introduced to the West. However.people in the West had been used to using Roman numbers (I, V, X, etc.). Arabic numbers were not popular. This was especially true for zero. Since there is no zero in Roman numbers, people found it hard to accept the new number. It was quite easy for dishonest business people to turn a "0" into"6"or a"9". Some people, therefore, believed zero would lead to much trouble. Zero was also seen as an unlucky number. That's because it is close to negative numbers—the idea of having debts(债务). People in Florence even weren't allowed to use zero citywide.
It was not until the 15th century that zero and the other Arabic numbers were fully accepted. Business people played an important role. Just think about doing calculations (计算)using Roman numbers. You can hardly do any trade, can you?
