| When you want to go shopping, decide how much money you can spend for new clothes. Think about the kind of clothes you really need. Then look for those clothes on sale (出售). There are labels (标签) inside all new clothes. The labels tell you how to take care of your clothes. The label for a shirt may tell you to wash it in warm water. A sweater label may tell you to wash by washing in cold water. The label on a coat may say "dry clean only". Washing may ruin (损坏) this coat. If you do as the directions on the label, you can keep your clothes looking their best. Many clothes today must be dry- cleaned. Dry cleaning is expensive. When buying new clothes, check to see if they will need to be dry-cleaned. You will save money if you buy clothes that can be washed. You can save money if you buy clothes that are well made. Well-made clothes last longer. They look good even after they have been washed many times. Clothes that cost more money are not always better made. They do not always fit better.

| 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. |
| 1. Why did Franklin give the idea of daylight saving time? |
| A. To save the money. B. To save time. C. To wake up earlier. D. To go to bed earlier. |
| 2. In what year was the idea of daylight saving time put in use? |
| A. In 1907. B. In 1914. C. In 1986. D. In 1991. |
| 3. If it is 6:00 now, which is Willet's idea time? |
| A. 5:40. B. 6:20. C. 6:40. D. 7:20. |
| 4. Why is daylight saving time not used in China now? Because _____. |
| A. people wouldn't like to get up earlier B. the temperatures are quite different C. the country is large D. the time is quite different |

| Switzerland (瑞士) is famous for its watches. However, this country didn't invent the watch. It was the British who did. Here is a story of how the watch was brought to Switzerland. Many years ago, an Englishman traveled to Italy. This Englishman traveled in a Carriage. On his way, he stopped in a small town called Geneva in Switzerland. There was a carriage clock in it. This was the earliest kind of watch. A blacksmith's assistant happened to see the clock. He wanted to know what it was and asked the English man about it. "It is a carriage clock." said the man. "This machine can tell the time but it isn't working now." The blacksmith's assistant wanted to try to repair, so the traveler handed him the clock. The assistant was a very clever man, so it was easy for him to repair it. He even remembered how it was made. As soon as the traveler had gone on his way, he made a watch of exactly the same type (样式). So the watch-making was started in Switzerland. Today, Swiss watches are sold in countries all over the world. |

| 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. |
