The Real Meaning Of Serenity(安祥;安静)
Once there was a king who offered a prize to the artist who would paint the best picture of serenity. Many artists tried. The king looked at all the pictures. But there were only two he really liked, and he had to choose between them.
1.______________ The lake was a perfect mirror for serene towering mountains all around it. Overhead was a blue sky with fluffy(松软的,毛茸茸的) white clouds. All who saw this picture thought that it was a perfect picture of serenity.
2. ______________ But they were rocky and had no tall trees. Above was an angry sky, from which rain fell and in which lightning played. Down the side of the mountain was a noisy waterfall. This did not seem quiet at all.
3.________________ he saw behind the waterfall a tiny bush growing in a crack in the rock. In the bush a mother bird had built her nest. There, in the midst of the rushing water, sat the mother bird on her nest ----- in perfect serenity.
4. ________________________ The king chose the second picture. Do you know why?
5.“Because,” explained the king, “serenity does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise and trouble. _______________________ That is the real meaning of serenity."

How could we tell time if there were no watches or clocks any where in the world?
The sun was probably the world’s first “clock”, except in the far north, where the Eskimos 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 fully, if you don’t have a clock that shows time, you still know that when the sun shines, it’s day, and when it’s dark, it’s night. The sun can not only tell you whether it’s day or night but also it’s morning, noon, or afternoon. When the sun is almost over your head, it’s noon.
People who live near the sea can tell time from the tides(潮水). 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 twenty-four hours.
Seaman on a ship tells 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.
1. From the passage we can know there are ____ ways to tell time besides the clock and watch.
A. three B. four C. five D. seven
2. The Eskimos in the far north can’t use the sun for a clock because ___________.
A. they know very little about the sun
B. the sun there never goes down in winter
C. It’s too cold for them to go out to watch the sun
D. it has long dark winters and long light summers
3.This passage is probably a kind of ___________.
A. news B. science
C. advertisement D. sports
4.What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Different ways to tell time.
B. How the clock was invented.
C. The development of the clock.
D. A useful machine to tell time.
