probably the world"s first "clock" , except in the far north, where the Eskimos (爱斯基摩人) 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.

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.

Table Manners in America
Don’t circle your plate with your arms. If you do so, you will
become the focus(焦点) of the table. Everyone would wonder,"Is
there anything wrong with the food?" This may give a wrong message
that you don"t like the food or something like that.
Don"t push the plate back when finished. Leave it where it was.
Do you want to let the hostess(女主人) know that you"ve just
done a labour?
Don"t lean(倚靠) back and say"I"m through"or"I"m full". Just
put the fork and knife across the plate. That"s all.
Don"t cut up everything before you start to eat. Cut only one
or two bites(块) at a time.
Never take a huge mouthful of anything. Do you want to show
how hungry you are? Don"t do that. It"s not so good.
It"s never good to reach across the table for anything. If the
thing you want is not at hand, simply ask the nearest person for
help, like “Mrs Smith, could you pass me the dish?”

根据短文内容填空。
it started when two students at Cambridge University began knocking a cork (软木塞) to each other
across a table, using old boxes. In about the year 1800 an American businessman of sports goods
produced a game that he called Indoor Tennis. The Americans didn"t find interest in it. He shipped
(用船运) it to London and it soon became popular in Britain. The game was then played across dining
room tables, or on the floor with the net string (网) between chairs. The players used a ball made of
cork or rubber. A few years later a hollow (空的) ball like the one we use today was invented.
People all over the world loved it at once. A man called Mr Wood in London, had the idea of covering
the bats (拍子) with rubber. Later a London businessman called this game "ping-pong". "Ping" meant
the sound of the bat hitting the ball, and "pong" was the sound of the ball hitting the table.
The game is played everywhere, but not everybody likes it. Some even think it"s a silly game.
2. A game called Indoor Tennis _______ in about the year 1800.
3. Although the American didn"t like the game, _______ showed great interest in it
and it became popular.
