“First, I never forget anything I read or hear. All the knowledge I get from books or TV programmes is kept inside my head. I like reading life stories best, so I know a lot about many famous people. Second, I have had a long and interesting life. I have done many different things. When I left school, I became a nurse and learnt a lot about health and medicine. Then I married your grandfather. He was a naturalist (博物学家)and studied plants and animals.
教与学 学导练 英语 八年级 上册 配上海教育版
His job took us to many different parts of the world, and I learnt about many countries and their wildlife. Then my sons—your father and his two brothers—were born. They grew up and liked all kinds of sports, so I learnt the rules of many sports from them. These two reasons help me get a lot of knowledge. Actually, my whole life has been about learning and applying (运用) what I know.”
Mary felt so motivated after hearing Grandma's words. She wanted to become a knowledgeable person like her one day.

A long time ago there were no clocks, and knowing the time was not so easy. Over the centuries, people have developed different ways of telling the time.
教与学 学导练 英语 八年级 上册 配上海教育版
About 5,500 years ago, the Egyptians invented the sun clock. This was a tall stone building. Its shadow (影子)showed the movement of the Sun. So people were able to know midday. The Egyptians made a sundial(日晷)about 3,500 years ago. It was smaller than the sun clock and could let people know the time for half a day. On rainy days or at night it was impossible to tell the time with a sun clock or a sundial. Water clocks were the first clocks not to use the Sun. The idea is simple.
教与学 学导练 英语 八年级 上册 配上海教育版
Water flows from one bottle to another. When the water reaches a certain level, it shows the hours. The Egyptians used water clocks about 3,400 years ago. These clocks were popular in the Middle East and China. But they failed to make people know the exact time.
教与学 学导练 英语 八年级 上册 配上海教育版
In the 13th century, the mechanical clock was invented. This was more exact, but it was expensive to make one. Over the next few centuries it was developed. For example, springs (发条)were added around 1500. In 1927, the first quartz(石英) clock was developed. Clocks became cheaper to build. People began depending on them more and more to run business, markets and so on. More recently, in 1956, came the digital clock. And nowadays satellites send our mobile phones the time to the exact second.
教与学 学导练 英语 八年级 上册 配上海教育版
There has been a lot of progress in timekeeping. Clocks are always changing but some things never change. Many of us still have trouble getting out of bed on time, but not being late for school or work.

One of the most famous scientists who studied adaptations (适应性)was Charles Darwin. He was born in England in 1809. He wasn't the best student in his school, but when he was 16, his father sent him to a medical school. Charles liked spending time outdoors discovering nature more than attending medical classes. He left the school without graduation (毕业).
