     The time may be 10 am in Beijing and 2 am in New York.  It is set  on the same time-Greenwich
 Mean Time. This is because in 1884, many nations met to decide how to prevent the confusion (混亂)
  made  by almost every town having its own time.         
     Such a time rule was devised (設(shè)計(jì)) by Sir Sanford Fleming  (1827-1915).  He was an engineer 
who lived in Canada.  He held a  meeting in 1884 to discuss the time problem.  He suggested that there
should be 24 meridians (子午線)  dividing the world int0 24 time zones  (時(shí)區(qū)).  The zero meridian 
would pass through the village of Greenwich near London. The time at Greenwich would be called 
Greenwich  Mean Time, and at each of the 24 meridian lines, the time would go  forward or backwards 
by one hour.      
     Twenty-seven nations agreed to this suggestion, and since then  GMT has been the centre of
 time-keeping for all nations.  Most nations  have only one time zone.  However, large nations such as
 the USA and  Australia are divided into several time zones.

A .Now pick up the scissors. Hold the paper carefully and cut through it. Keep the small piece of string between you and the scissors, so you do not cut the string.                            
B .“Magic string” is a popular magic trick. You can do this trick for your friends or family. You just need a piece of paper, a piece of string and some scissors. That’s all.
C .Pick up the paper and fold side A down. Now your friends can see side B, but they can’t see side A. Side A is shorter than B, so it does not cover the string. Push the middle of the string up, and fold C up over A. Now most of the string is inside the paper, but a small piece of the string is outside. You can see it but your friends can’t.
D .Put one hand over the paper, and then pull the string out slowly with your other hand. The string is still in one long piece!
E .First, fold the paper so that it is like the paper in the picture. Side A is shorter than side B, but not much shorter. Side C is much shorter than Side B. Show the long piece of string so that people can look at it. Put this piece of string on the paper.
