Switzerland(瑞士) is famous for its watches。 However, this country didn’t invent the watch。It was the British who did it。 Here is a story of how the watch was brought to Switzerland。 Many years ago , an Englishman was travelling to Italy 。 On his way he stopped in a small town in South Switzerland。 This Englishman travelled in a carriage(马车) inside which there was a carriage watch。 This was the earliest kind of watch。 A native shop assistant (售货员) happened to see the watch 。 He wondered what it was and asked the Englishman about it。 “ It is a carriage watch 。” said the man 。 This machine tells the time but now it isn’t working 。 At once the shop assistant offered to try to repair it 。 So the traveller handed him the watch。 The assistant was a very wise man 。 So it was not surprising that he managed to repair it 。 He even remembered how it was made。 As soon as the traveller had gone on his way , he made a watch exactly the same type。 Thus the watch-making was started in Switzerland。 Today Swiss watches are sold in stores all over the world。 50 Switzerland is famous for ____________。 A 。making watches B selling watches C inventing watches D the carriage watch 51。It was ______who brought a watch to Switzerland earliest 。 A a Swiss B an Italian C an Englishman D a shop assistant 52。 The earlist watches were made in __________。 A Switzerland B England C Italy D a small town 53 The first Swiss watch was made by ___________。 A an Italian shop assistant B an English shop assistant C a man who came from Switzerland D。 a man who was travelling to Italy。 54。 The carriage watch was a machine which __________。 A was put in the carriage B wasn’t working C told people time D had to be repaired |
