    　　Greenwich is on River Thames, five miles from the center of London, and its history is two thousand years old. The first English people were fishermen there, and named the place Greenwich, meaning “green village”. Later the English kings and queens lived at Greenwich in their beautiful palaces.

    　　The name of the earliest palace was Placentia. Its windows were made of glass－the first in England. Henry Ⅷ lived there. He knew that English must be strong at sea. So he started two big ship yards at Greenwich, and for 350 years the ships which were made there were the best in the world.

    　　But trouble was coming to Greenwich. In 1649, a war started in England and for eleven years there was no king. The men who had worked for him at Placentia decided to live in the place themselves. They sold all its beautiful things, and bought small pieces of the palace garden with money. Finally, the war ended and the King Charles II came back. But Placentia was falling down. So King Charles built a new and bigger palace, which is now open to public.

    　　At this time Charles was worried about losing so many of his ships at sea：their sailors did not know how to tell exactly where they were. So in 1675, Charles made John Flamsteed, the first astronomer in England, try to find the answer. Flamsteed worked in a new building on the high ground in Greenwich Park. From it, with a telescope which he made himself, Flamsteed could look all around the sky. And he did night after night, for twenty years. Carrying on Flamsteed's work a hundred years later, an astronomer called Harrison finally made a clock which told the time at sea, and helped sailors to know where they were. You can see Harrison's clock, still working, in Greenwich's museum of the sea. Because of Flamsteed's work, every country in the world now tells its time by Greenwich time.

    1．What kind of trouble came to Greenwich in 1649?

    [　　]

    A．A war started in England.

    B．Placentia was destroyed.

    C．Ship yards were built.

    D．King Henry died.

    2．Charles made John Flamsteed try to find ________.

    [　　]

    A．how to tell the time

    B．how to build ships

    C．a way for sailors to tell their position at sea

    D．a place to set up a telescope

    3．Who made the first clock which could tell the time at sea?

    [　　]

    A．Harrison.
    B．Flamsteed.
    C．Henry.
    D．Charles.
