Eight hundred years ago，a man in southern Turkey invented an amazing clock.It was more than 7 meters high.At is base（基座）was a life﹣size model elephant.Every half hour，something amazing happened.The whole clock came alive Model birds，dragons，and people started to move.

How Does the Elephant Clock Work？
A bowl with a small hole floats（浮）in a water tank（水箱）inside the elephant's body.As the bowl slowly sinks（下沉），it pulls a rope that moves a human figure.His moving pen shows the number of minutes past he hour.
Every half hour，the water bowl becomes full and sinks completely. Thiscauses a ball to fall from the top of the clock.The movement of the ball causes a phoenix to move and make a sound.
The ball then drops out of a falcon's mouth into the mouth of a Chinese dragon.The weight of the ball causes the dragon's head to move down and the dragon's tail pulls the water bowl back up.
Finally，the ball drops out of the dragon's mouth and into a vase.As the ball lands in the vase，the elephant driver moves and makes a sound.The cycle begins again until there are no more ball in the top of the clock.

After about five seconds, Derek got up and started to run again, on one leg only. Some organizers tried to stop him but he kept going. The crowd stood up and started to clap. Then another man came onto the track-Derek's father, Jim. His father put his arm around him and said, "Derek, you don't have to do this." Derek replied, "Yes, I do. I have to finish." And so together they walked the last 50 metres and crossed the line.

One wet，rainy April afternoon Miss O' Shay，the principal，sent for Nancy Lee to stop by her office as school closed.Pupils without umbrellas or raincoats crowded in doorways hoping to make it home between showers.Outside the skies were grey.Nancy Lee's thoughts were suddenly grey，too.
She did not think she had done anything wrong，yet that tight （紧的） little knot came in her throat just the same as she came near Miss O' Shay's door.Perhaps she had banged her locker too often and too hard.Perhaps the note in French she had written to Sallie halfway across the study hall just for fun had never got to Sallie but into Miss O' Shay's hands instead.
She knocked on Miss O' Shay's door.That familiarly solid and competent voice said， "Come in."
Miss O' Shay had a way of making you feel welcome，even if you came to be punished.
"Sit down，Nancy Lee Johnson，" said Miss O' Shay. "I have something to tell you." Nancy Lee sat down."But I must ask you to promise not to tell anyone yet."
"I won't，Miss O' Shay，" Nancy Lee said，wondering what on earth the principal had to say to her.
"You are about to graduate，" Miss O' Shay said. "And we shall miss you.You have been an excellent student，Nancy，and you will not be without honors （荣誉） on the senior list，as I am sure you know."
At that point there was a light knock on the door.Miss O' Shay called out， "Come in，" and Miss Dietrich entered."May I be part of this，too？" she asked，tall and smiling.
"Of course，" Miss O' Shay said."I was just telling Nancy Lee what we thought of her.But I hadn't got around to giving her the news.Perhaps，Miss Dietrich，you'd like to tell her yourself."
Miss Dietrich was always direct."Nancy Lee，" she said， "your picture has won the Artist Club scholarship."
The brown girl's eyes widened，her heart jumped，then her throat tightened again.She tried to smile，but instead tears came to her eyes.
"Dear Nancy Lee，"Miss O' Shay said， "we are so happy for you." The elderly white woman took her hand and shook it warmly while Miss Dietrich smiled with pride.
Nancy Lee must have danced all the way home.She never remembered quite how she got there through the rain.She hoped she had been calm.But certainly she hadn't stopped to tell anybody her secret on the way.Raindrops，smiles，and tears mingled on her brown face.She hoped her mother hadn't yet got home and that the house was empty.
