14、How should one invest a sum of money in the clays of inflation (通货膨胀)? Left in a bank it will hardly keep its value, however high the interest rate. Only a brave man, or a very rich one, dares to buy and ll on the Stock Market. Today it ems that one of the best ways to protect your savings, and even increa your wealth is to buy beautiful objects from the past. Here I am going to offer some advice on collecting antique clocks, which I personally consider are among the most interesting of antiques.
I sometimes wonder what a being from another planet might report back about our way of life. "The planet Earth is ruled by a mysterious creature that sits or stands in a room and makes a strange ticking sound. It has a face with twelve black marks and two hands. Men can do nothing without its permission, and it fastens its young round people's wrists so that everywhere men go they are still under its control. This creature is the real master of Earth and men are its slaves （奴隶）."
Whether or not we are slaves of time today depends on our culture and personality, but it is believed that many years ago kings kept special slaves to tell the time. Certain men were very clever at measuring（量）the time of clay according to the beating of their own hearts. They were made to stand in a fixed place and every hour or so would shout tire time. So it ems that the first clocks were human beings.
However, men quickly found more convenient and reliable（可靠的）ways of telling the time. They learned to u the shadows cast by the sun. They marked the hours on candles, ud sand in hour- glass, and invented water-clocks. Indeed, any rious student of antique should spend as much time as possible visiting palaces, stately homes and muums to e some of the finest examples of clocks from the past.
Antique clocks could be very expensive, but one of the joys of collecting clocks is that it is still possible to find quite cheap ones for your own home. After all, if you are going to be ruled by time, why not invest in air antique clock and perhaps make a future profit（收益）?
1．According to the passage, collecting antique clocks____.
A．can hardly keep the value of your savings
B．will cost much of your savings

B．describe why clocks can rule the planet Earth
C．tell readers what clocks look like
D．compare chocks to human beings
3．Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a way to measure the time?
A．Counting the beating of one's own heart.
B．Making u of candles, sand and water.国家队名单
C．Obrving shadows cast by the sun.
D．Keeping slaves busy day and night.

15、Do you know how a young dog or cat gets to know a new home? The animal us its no. Right away it smells its new places. Then it makes wider and wider circles, smelling all the time. Before long it can find its way home very well, even in the dark. It simply follows something it knows well.
