Suddenly she saw an old woman by the side of the road, holding her hand out as if she wanted a lift.“I cant leave her out in this weather,” the woman said to herself, so she stopped the car and opened the door.“Do you want a life?” she asked. The old woman nodded and climbed into the car. After a while, she said to the old woman, “Have you been waiting for a long time?” The old woman shook her head. “Strange.” thought the young woman. She tried again. “Bad weather for the time of year,” she said. The old woman nodded. No matter what the young woman said, the hitchhiker（搭车者）gave no answer except for a nod of the head or a shrug（耸肩）.Then the young woman noticed the hitchhikers hands, which were large and hairy.

There, its 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 dont have a clock that shows time, you still know that when the sun shines, its day and when its dark, its night. The sun can not only tell you whether its day or night, but also its morning, noon, or afternoon. When the sun is almost directly overhead, its noon.People who live near the sea can tell time from the tides. In the day time, for about six hours, the water rises higher and higher on the beach. And then it goes down and down for another about six hours. The same thing happens again at night. There are two high tides and two low tides every 24 hours.Seaman on a ship learned 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 a funnel（漏斗）, you would have what is called an hour glass. The sand in the hourglass goes from the top part to the bottom part in exactly an hour. When the hourglass is turned over, the sand will take another hour to go back again.23.

The History of the ClockDScientist Florence Wambugu works with farmers in Kenya, a country in East Africa. She helps them grow bigger and better crops. Wambugu is especially interested in finding simple ways to produce more food.In the past ten years, Wambugu has spent much of her time studying sweet potatoes, which are an important food in her part of Kenya. A virus（病毒）kept attacking the plants. It stopped the sweet potatoes from growing well. Because of the virus, some farmers lost three quarters of their crops.Wambugu went to war against the virus. Her search for a way to save the sweet potatoes led to a lab in St. Louis, Missouri.The lab mainly works on genes（基因）, the chemical “computer programs” found in the cells of living things. Genes tell a plant to produce pink flowers or an animal to grow black hair. Now scientists have found ways to move genes from one living thing to another. That process is called genetic engineering.Wambugu spent three years in the lab. As a result, she created a sweet potato plant that could fight off the virus. Wambugu tested her research in Kenya, and her plants produced wonderful sweet potatoes.Thats just the beginning, Wambugu believes. Genetically modified foods, she thinks, could help farmers in poor countries grow better crops, so fewer people will go hungry.27.
