The sun was probably the world’ s first clock, except in the far north, where the Eskimos(愛斯基摩人 ) 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 for a clock. Even today, if you don’ t have a clock, you still know that when the sun shines, it’ s day, and when it’ s dark, it’ s night. The sun can also tell you if it’ s morning, noon, or afternoon. People who live near the sea can tell time from the tides. In the daytime, for about six hours, the water rises higher and higher on the beach. And then it goes down and down for about six hours. The same thing happens again at night. There are two high tides and two low tides every 24 hours. Seamen on a ship learn how to tell time by looking at the moon and the stars. The whole sky is their clock. In some places in the world the wind es up at about the same time every day or changes direction or stops blowing. In these places the wind can be the clock. A sand clock is an even better clock. If you had fine dry sand in a glass, you would have an hourglass. The sand in the hourglass goes from the top part to the bottom part in one hour. When the hourglass turns over, the sand will take another hour to go back again. 11. From the passage, there are ___________ ways to tell the time besides the clock and watch. A. 3 B. 4 C. 5 D. 7 12.
