A
Miss Turner had studied in a college （学院） in the capital before she found a job in
a middle school in her home town. There she taught physics. As she had little
expericence （经验）, she worked hard and did her best to make her classes
interesting and lively.
Mr Green, the headmaster, wanted to know how the woman taught her students and
one morning he had sat in the last row of the classroom before the bell rang. Miss
Turner found him as soon as she came in. That day she was explaining to the children
about sound. She wanted to show the headmaster how successful she had been in her
work and began to test the children.
“Now, I have a sister in Washington. If I were calling her on the telephone, and at the
same time you were 20 metres away, and listened to me from the other side of the
street, who would hear earlier, my sister or you and why? ”
The children thought for a while and the cleverest boy answered, “Your sister, Miss
Turner, because electricity travels much faster than sound waves.”
“That’s very good,” said Miss Turner. And she was going to ask another question when
a girl stood up and said, “I’m sorry I can’t agree with him. Your sister would hear you
earlier because when it’s eleven o’clock here, it’s only six o’clock in Washington!”

Some people remember things by writing notes to themselves. Then they leave the
notes in obvious places, such as on the table or on the floor in the middle of the living
room. I don’t think I like to write notes to myself. Most of the time I lose them or
forget to look at them until it’s too late. I prefer to use an alarm clock to tell me what I
should do. I have some alarm clocks in my house. They could tell me about things. For
example, If I have to make a telephone call at a certain time, I’ll set an alarm clock to
go off a few minutes early and put the clock by the telephone. Or if I want to watch a
certain television programme, I’ll set an alarm clock at the right time and put the clock
on top of the TV set. I can remember almost anything if I use my clocks. However,
sometimes an alarm clock goes off and I don’t know what it means. I always remember
setting it, but not why I set it. If the clock is by the telephone, I know I may have set it
to tell me to call someone, but I can’t be sure. I might have set it to tell myself that
somebody was to call me at a certain time.
