| The idea of daylight saving time started with an American named Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790). He explained how a lot of the money spent on candles used for light (this was before electricity) could be saved if everyone woke up earlier and went to bed earlier. Even though Franklin"s idea had a clear meaning, most people didn"t want to get up earlier than they had to. Who would? It was not until 1907 that an Englishman named William Willet came up with a way to "make" the sun set later. His idea was to turn clocks forward by 20 minutes on each of the four Sundays in April, for a total of 80 minutes. William"s idea was laughed at, at first. But when World War I started in 1914. Many countries decided they had to save energy for the war. Daylight saving time has other uses. The more time you spend outside playing, the less time you are spending in front of the computer or the TV. These things also use energy. Also, daylight saving time sometimes causes problems. For example, China used it in 1986-but stopped it in 1991. That was because me temperatures are quite different from North to South and time from East to West. If the people from northwest part of China use daylight saving time. sometimes they have to get up to work when it is not very bright outside. That will cause some trouble for them. Still, most parts of the world do have daylight saving time, and most people look forward to the extra hour of evening light. |

| Which of your hands do you use most? Very few of us use both of our hands well. Most of us are right- handed. Only about five people out of a hundred are left-handed. New-born babies can take things with either of their hands, but in about two years they like to use their right hands. Scientists don"t know why this happens. They have studied it. They think our animal ancestors (祖先) are right-handed. This may not true. Monkeys- are our closest relations in the animal world. Scientists have found that monkeys like to use one of their hands more than the other-but it can be either hand. There are as many fight-handed ones. Next time you visit the zoo, watch the monkeys carefully. You"ll see that some of them will swing (摆动)from their right hands and others will use their left hands. But most human beings (人类) use their right hands better and this makes life difficult for the left-handed ones. We live in a right-handed world. |

| A new study finds people in big cities walking faster than before. Is the pace (节奏) of life in our cities increasing? Yes, according to a recent study. Last year researchers visited 32 cities and measured how fast people walked. They timed adults to see how long it took them to walk 18 meters along the sidewalk. Researchers found that walking speed today is about 10 percent faster than ten years ago. They also learned that some of the biggest changes took place in Asian cities like Singapore and Guanzhou. The two cities had the largest increase in walking speed. Nowadays, over half of people in the world live in cities. Certainly the world"s pace of life is becoming faster and cities are becoming more crowded. |
