27、AAt first, I thought it was just useless e-mails. It was the end of the weekend and I hadnt checked my e-mails since late Friday afternoon. There was a long list of messages. Some I re moved without reading. Others were from friendsI saved those to read later when I had more time. One stood out from

28、 the rest for two reasons. The first was the name, Mailer Nawaf, which I didnt recognize. The second was the subject line:“ pleas papers. “ Clearly, the e-mail was from someone who did not have a complete mastery of the English language. The message was from an Iraqi, a university research scientist

29、 in Mosul who wanted permission to reprint a research paper I had written. As a scientist, Im used to getting these kinds of re quests; its part of the give and take among researchers that I especially like. I wrote back the next day, asking for more information about the type of work he was doing.

30、I also wished him and his family best for their safety and well-being during this dangerous time in his land. A couple of days later, his reply appeared in my inbox. It read, in part: “hi dear Dr. Im very happy to hear good news from you and your help, also Id like to thank you for your feelings tow

31、ards me and my family thank you very much for help I want to tell you that Im ready to help you in mosul university/iraq if you need that. “ Mailer also explained in his broken English that he was interested in a paper Id written on the use of lactobacillus acidophilus (a healthy product that can be

32、 found in yogurt (酸奶) and other foods). It was his hope that he could use my findings to help find a treatment for gastrointestinal (消化系统的) illness. He signed off: “warmest regards to you and lovely family. “ Despite his difficulty with the language, he had painted a picture for me that was far more

33、 than a simple request for information. The humanity displayed (流露出的) in his message made me want to both smile and cry.（分数：4.00）(1).Why did the e-mail from an Iraqi catch the authors attention? A The subject line was not written in standard English. B It was not completely written in English. C The

36、 B Iraqi people are much happier now than before. C The Internet can bring people closer to each other. D Even knowing a little English can help you learn a lot.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.BIt was probably around 3,000 years ago that people first began making things to help them measure the passage of time. Ha

37、ving noticed that shadows move around trees as the sun moves across the sky, someone drew a circle and put a stick in the center. As the sun passed overhead, people could tell which part of the day it was by noticing which mark on the circle the shadow fell across. These circles were called “sundial

38、s“. latter, they were made of stone and metal to last longer.Of course, a sundial did not work at night or on cloudy days, so men kept inventing other ways to keep track of time. After glass blowing was invented, the hourglass came into use. An hourglass is a glass container for measuring time in wh

39、ich sand moves slowly from the top half to the bottom in exactly one hour. The hourglass is turned over every hour so the sand could flow again.One of the first clocks with a face and an hour hand was built for a king of France and placed in the tower of his palace. The clock did not show minutes or

40、 seconds. Since there were no planes or trains to catch, people were not worried about knowing the exact time. Gradually, clocks began to be popular and unusual. One clock was in the shape of a cart with a horse and driver. One of the wheels was the face of the clock.Today, scientists have invented

41、clocks that tell the correct time to a split second. Many electric clocks are often made with built-in radios, which can sometimes be set to turn on automatically. Thus, instead of an alarm ringing in your ear, you can hear soft music playing when it is time to get up. Some clocks will even start th
