     How could we tell time if there were no watches or clocks anywhere  in the world? The sun was 
probably the world's first  "clock" ,  except in  the far north, where the Eskimos (愛(ài)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 comes 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 shaped like the one in the 
picture,  you would have what is called an hourglass. The sand in the hourglass goes from the top part 
to the bottom part in exactly one hour. When the hourglass is turned over, the sand will take another 
hour to go back again.

B.  the sun there never goes down in winter                
C.  it's too cold for them to go out to watch the sun

     (1) Although we may not realize it, when we talk with others we   make ourselves understood not 
just by words.  We send messages to the   people around us also by body movements. A smile and 
handshake(握手)show welcome.  Waving one's hand is to say "Goodbye".  Nodding   the head  
means agreement, while shaking it means disagreement. In China and some English-speaking countries,
 these body movements have the same meanings.       
     But not all body languages mean the same things in different countries.  For example,  nodding the head in some Asian countries means not "Yes" but "No".       
     When we speak a foreign language,  (2) to know the meanings of the body movements is important 
in the foreign countries.  In Russia, France and some of South American countries men kiss (吻) each 
other when they meet.  Men don't kiss each other in China or English-speaking countries. In England, 
older people usually shake hands when they meet someone for the first time. However, young people 
don't shake hands.  (3) In France, people shake hands in the office every morning.  French people kiss
 each other more often than English people when they meet or leave.
