John is six years old. He can read and write well. But he can’t tell the time. His mother, Mrs Brown teaches him many times,  but he still can’t tell. He would say “breakfast time”, “lunchtime” and “teatime” instead of  (代替) saying eight o’clock, twelve o’clock and four o’clock in the afternoon. His mother doesn’t know how to help him.
One day, John’s aunt, Mary comes to see his mother. His mother tells her about that. His aunt says. “Let me help you. I think I can help him.”
When John comes home after school, Mary begins to teach him.
“Can you count （数数）,John?” she asks him.
“Yes. One, two, three, four…” John says.
“That’s fine. Now I put the long hand （钟表的长指针）on twelve and the short hand on one.” That’s one o’clock. If I put the short hand on two, what is the time?”
“Two o’clock.”
“Good. And on three?”
“Three o’clock.”
Then it is four o’clock in the afternoon, and John’s aunt asks him, “What time is it now, John?”
“Teatime, Aunt, and I am very hungry (饥饿).” John looks at the clock and answers.

There are many different kinds of cars in the world. My aunt thinks this is because cars are ____1­  their drivers. She says, “Rich people have expensive cars, big people have large cars, and old people drive old cars.” But I don't 2 her.

　　My neighbour, Mrs. Hill, is 82 years old. She drives only on Tuesday, and she drives only to the bank. She 3   drives more than 30 kilometres an hour. Do you think Mrs. Hill has a very   ­­­­­___4   and small car? No, her car is new. It's very large, and it _5  go 200 kilometres for each hour!
