The first English people, the Saxons, were fishermen there, and they gave Gree
38、nwich its name “green village“. Before came the Roman, you could still walk on the old Roman road in Greenwich Park. But the river was the true road to the outside world for the Romans, and for the English kings and queens who later live at Greenwich in their beautiful palaces. The name of the earli
39、est palace was Placentia. Its windows were made of glass-the first in England. Herry Va loved placentia. But Henry understood the future of his country, too: he knew that England must be strong at sea. So he started two big shipyards at Greenwich, and for 350 years the ships made there were the best
40、 in the world. In 1649, a war started in England and for eleven years there was no king. When the war ended, Placentia was falling down. So King Charles 1I built a new and bigger palace, which is now the Royal (皇家的 ) Naval College and is open to the public. At this time, Charles was worried about lo
41、sing so many of his ships at sea: Their sailors didnt know how to tell exactly where they were. So in 1675 Charles made John Flamsteed the first Astronomer (天文台 ) Royal, to try to find the answer. Flamsteed worked in a new Observatory (天文台 ) on the high ground in Greenwich Park. With a telescope he
42、made himself, Flamsteed could look all around the sky. And he did, night after night, for twenty years. Carrying on Fiamsteeds work a hundred years later, an astronomer called Harrison (1693 - 1776) finally made a clock which told the time at sea; and helped sailors to know where they were. You can
43、see Harrisons clock, still working, in Greenwichs museum of the sea. Because of Flamsteeds work, every country in the world now tells its time by Greenwich time. 63 Who first lived in the place that is called Greenwich today according to this passage ? _. （ A） Henry （ B） Romans （ C） Charles （ D） the
