could

we

tell

time

if

there

were

no

watches

or

clocks

anywhere

in

the

world?

The

sunwas

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

inmost

of

the

world,

peoplehave

used

clock.

Even

today,

if

you

don't

have

a

clock,

you

still

know

that

when

the

sun

shines,it'sday,andwhenit'sdark,it'snight.Thesuncanalsotellyouifit'smorning,

noon,or

afternoon.People

who

live

near

the

sea

can

tell

time

from

the

tides

(潮汐).

In

the

day

time,

for

aboutsix

hours,

the

water

rises

higher

and

higher

on

the

beach.

And

then

it

goes

down

and

down

forabout

six

hours.

The

same

thing

happens

again

at

night.

There

are

two

high

tides

and

wo

lowtides

every

24hours.

Seamen

on

a

ship

learn

how

to

tell

time

by

looking

at

the

moon

and

thestars.

The

whole

sky

is

their

clock.

In

some

places

in

the

world

the

wind

comes

up

at

aboutthe

same

time

every

day

or

changes

direction

or

stops

blowing.

In

is

an

even

If

fine

dry

sand

in

a

glass

shaped

like

theone

in

the

you

would

have

what

an

glass.

The
