     Nowadays, we can know time very easily．Even a little child may know the time．We always ask
"What time is it?" Then people can tell me the exact time．But before the invention of clocks, it was
very difficult．One way people told the time was by using sundials, but it was impossible to tell the time
on cloudy days or at night．

Europe was invented 195 years later, at the end of the 13th century．And in Britain, 67 years later, the
alarm clock was invented in Germany.

     The first wrist watch came from Switzerland 328 years after the first pocket clock, but nobody bought
them．They did not become popular for a hundred years．

     No air means death. Although we can not see it, there is air round us. So air is everywhere and it gives
life to every living thing. Without it we can not live. Bad air makes people ill. We must have fresh air to
keep us in good health.
     In the city there are a great many people and there are too many cars running on the roads. The gas
which the cars spread out is full of poison. Everyday we breathe it in again and again. This makes us feel
sick. Therefore people should go out of door as much as they can.
     Besides so many cars, there are many factories too. From the chimneys of these factories, we get the
smoke usually in black or grey colour. This kind of smoke, when it mixes the air, is dangerous to our health.
It is because smoke contains many small poisonous solids and gases. So in order to keep us healthy we have
to go out to the countryside to breathe more fresh air. Or we can go up hills to get more fresh air.

     No one can change the weather. But if we read correctly the signs around us, we can tell how
the weather will be. This way of telling of what the weather will be like on the following day or two is
called weather forecasting. For many centuries and in all countries, people have studied the weather
and tried to make weather forecasting. Rings around the sun are a sigh of coming rain. Many people
feel in their bones the coming of wet weather, their joints ache. Some birds fly high if fine weather is
coming, but they fly near the ground if rainy or stormy weather is on the way. It is probably because
of the insects which they are hunting that they fly low. If you see a rainbow during rainy weather, this
is a sign that the weather will become clear and fine. Such rainbows come in the evening. If the stars
twinkle clearly at night, then fine weather will continues. If a fog appears in the morning just above a
river, then the day will be warm. If the sunset is mostly red in color, then the following day will be
warm. If a rainbow appears in the morning, rainy weather will probably come. Most of the above
saying have been made by the people who have used their eyes and brains to make weather
forecasting.
1. People's joints ache _______.
A. is a sign of coming rain

from the very first day. You will face new people. You will be in a new place. It may be difficult to know
what to do. We have some tips for you to make it through the first day at a new job:

     # Pay attention to introductions. One of the first that your supervisor may do is to introduce you to co-
workers (同事). These co-workers will be important to you. They are the ones that will answer your questions
when the boss is not around.
     # Ask plenty of questions. Make sure that your supervisor has told you what is expected of you. If he or
she has not told you your duties, ask for a list. Set daily and weekly goals for yourself.
