VIII. 閱讀測驗

People have not always been as concerned with the concept of keeping time as we
are now. The science of keeping time goes back only about six thousand years. Some
ancient societies used the shadows made by the sun to keep track of time during the day.
Usually, a tall, slender object would be raised in a central place, and people used its
shadow to schedule their activities. Of course, this instrument—called a sundial—could
only be used during the day, and only when the sun was shining. At night, the
movement of stars could be tracked across the sky to determine the time, but this was
too difficult for the average person unless they had some special training.

To make it easier for people to tell time during the night, water clocks were
invented. A water clock is made from either a bucket or jar with a small hole in the
bottom. In the evening, the bucket is filled with water. As the water slowly drains out,
marks on the side of the bucket allow one to measure how much time has passed since
the bucket was filled up. Much later, a type of clock was invented that used sand instead
of water. On the whole, these clocks were not as accurate as modern ones, but they do
demonstrate the cleverness of their inventors.
