Hw d we knw the time? A clck, a watch r a mbile phne can help us. Hwever, many years ag there were n clcks and knwing the time was nt s easy. Over the centuries peple have develped different ways f telling the time.
Abut 5,500 years ag, the Egyptians invented the sun clck. This was a tall stne building. Its shadw (影子) shwed the mvement f the sun. S peple were able t knw midday. Then the Egyptians made a sundial abut 3,500 years ag. It was smaller than the sun clck and culd let peple knw the time fr half a day. On cludy days r at night it was impssible t tell the time with a sun clck r a sundial. Water clcks were the first clcks nt t use the sun. Water flws (流动) frm ne bttle t anther. When the water reaches a certain level, it shws the hurs. The Egyptians used water clcks abut 3,400 years ag. These clcks were ppular in the Middle East and China. But they failed t make peple knw the exact time.
In the 13th century, the mechanical clck was invented. This was mre exact, but it was expensive t make ne. Later, the first quartz (石英) clck was develped. Clcks became cheaper t build. It’s als cheaper fr rdinary peple t wn a clck. Then the digital clck came. And nwadays satellites send ur mbile phnes the time t the exact secnd.
