No one knows when the first calendar was developed. But it seems possible that it was based on lunar months. When people started fanning, the sages of the tribes became very important. They studied the sky and gathered enough information to be able to predict when the seasons would change, and were able to announce when it was time to plant crops. The divisions of time we use today were developed in ancient Babylonia 4,000 years ago. Babylonian astronomers believed the sun moved around the Earth every 365 days. They divided the trip into 12 equal parts, each with 30 days. Then they divided each day into 24 equal parts or hours, and divided each hour into 60 minutes, each minute into 60 seconds. Humans have used many devices to measure time. he sundial was one of the earliest and simplest. However, the sundial worked well 0nly when the weather was fine, so other ways of measuring the passing of time were invented. One device was the hourglass. By the eighteenth century, people had developed mechanical clocks and watches. So we have devices to mark the passing of time, but what time is it now? Clocks in different parts of the world do not show the same time at the same time, because time on Earth is set by the sun's position in the sky above us. As international communications and travel grew, it became clear that a way to establish a common time for 'all parts of the world was needed. In 1884, an international conference divided the world into 24 time zones, each zone represents 0ne hour. The astronomical observatory in Greenwich, England, was chosen as the starting point for the time zones. Twelve zones are west of Greenwich. Twelve arc east. The time at Greenwich measured by the sun is considered by astronomers to be Universal Time, also known as Greenwich Mean Time.What does the passage mainly discuss?A．Why we measure time the way we do.B．Ways of measuring time.C．The development of universal time.D．How time is measured.

听力原文：F: Right, thank you all for coming. I just want to run over some final details of the office move which is scheduled for the end of this work. Most of the work will be done over the weekend by Trudi Brook, Frank Lee and there are assistants in the Maintaince Department. George Harvey will be handling the equipment, such as computers, printers, the network cabling and the phones. You've probably all noticed the containers in the corridors -- all items that are work-related such as files, books, general office equipment should be put into the large blue plastic containers. Label the containers that you use with your name and the desk number that you are going to use if you know what it is. As a guide, it has been estimated that each person should use no more than two containers. If you find that you need three or more, perhaps this will be a good opportunity to throw a few things out. The next week, it's going to be chaos, I'm afraid and it will be very difficult to get any serious work done. I would ask you all to try and complete all jobs with priority one and two well before then. In fact, by midday on Thursday the latest, because on Friday you'll be hard at packing and clearing your desks. Now, as you know we'll be moving to the ground floor, the plan has been lying around for a couple of weeks now you should all have seen it. Most of the problems have been sorted out. The drinking machine will still be on the other side of the building, I'm afraid. But the partitions in the office area have been removed. And I don't think it will be as dark as we feared, much better than we thought it was going to be. As you know, the main concern at the moment unfortunately is the laser printers. We still have to work out the best place for them. I reckon they'd be the best right in the middle of the room, but George insisted it would be easier to put them all against the wall. Now we'll have to leave them where they are. The phones are also going to be a bit of problem. For the first few days, all the phone numbers will be different. The Telecom engineers will be working flat out to change them all to your old numbers as soon as possible. They promise that by Thursday next week you will all have your usual numbers back. The Wednesday morning's meeting of project leaders must carry on as usual except that the first meeting after the move will be in the afternoon instead of in the morning. The reason for the move, as you all know, is that marketing has taken on several more staff in the last twelve months. They need the space and so our home on the ground floor will feel a little crowded. It's only a temporary move of course. And in months' time, I'm sure we'll find larger premises. Well, that's about it. Good luck. And let's hope things will go smoothly.?You will hear someone giving instructions about moving offices.?Mark one letter (A, B or C) for the correct answer.?You will hear the records twice.The phones will be handled byA．Peter Brook.B．George Harvey.C．Dave Riley.
