There once lived a young man who thought himself to be poor. One day he went to a wise man to ask how to become rich. The wise man said, “Young man, you are already rich now.”

“But where is my wealth?” the young man asked.

“It is with you. Your eyes are your wealth. You use them to see this world. You use them to see all the beautiful things in this world. Your hands are your wealth. You can use them to work. You can use them to hug your beloved ones. Your legs are your wealth. You can go to any place...” the wise man said.

“You call these wealth? But everyone has them,” the young man said.

“These are wealth. What you have now is not what someone else can luckily have. Would you like to give your eyes to me? I’d like to give you a lot of money to exchange for them,” the wise man said.

“No, I’m not going to do so! My eyes are important to me!” the young man said.

Everyone is rich. We should treasure(珍惜)our wealth, and take care of it. We should not overuse it because once it is gone, it is gone forever. Remember it is our wealth that we do not want to lose.

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.
