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， you still know that when the sun shines， its day， and when its dark， its night. The sun can also tell you if its morning， noon， or afternoon.People near the sea can tell time from the tides(潮汐). 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(沙) 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(底部) part in exactly one hour. When people turn over the hourglass， the sand will take another hour to go back again.（1）How many ways does the passage show us to tell time including the watches and clocks?

A . there are no more than two tides in a dayB . a sand clock is a better clock than the tideC . only the moon is a good “clock” for seamenD . the wind can be a clock all over the world（4）In which column(栏目) of a newspaper can you most probably read this passage? A . Science.B . News.C . Advertisements.D . Sports.24. （5分）配对阅读：上栏描述了五位同学喜欢看的杂志，下栏是七份杂志的简介，请为上栏的每位同学选择一份合适的杂志。( B )_Vince would like to read stories that teenagers write.
