听力原文： Not until somewhat recently (that is, in terms of human history) did people find a need for knowing the time of day. As best we know, 5000 to 6000 years ago great civilizations in the Middle East and North Africa initiated clock-making. With their bureaucracies and formal religions, these cultures found a need to organize their time more efficiently.
The Egyptians were the next to formally divide their day into parts something like our hours. Obelisks (slender, tapering, four-sided monuments) were built as early as 3500 B. C. Their moving shadows formed a kind of sundial, enabling citizens to partition the day into two parts by indicating noon. They also showed the year's longest and shortest days when the shadow at noon was the shortest or longest of the year. Later, markers added around the base of the monument would indicate further time subdivisions.
Another Egyptian shadow clock or sundial, possibly the first portable timepiece, came into use around 1500 B.C. to measure the passage of "hours". This device divided a sunlit day into 10 parts plus two "twilight hours" in the morning and evening. When the long stem with 5 variably spaced marks was oriented east and west in the morning, an elevated crossbar on the east end cast a moving shadow over the marks. At noon, the device was turned in the opposite direction to measure the afternoon "hours".
In the quest for more year-round accuracy, sundials evolved from flat horizontal or vertical plates to more elaborate forms. One version was the hemispherical dial, a bowl shaped depression cut into a block of stone, carrying a central vertical gnomon (pointer) and scribed with sets of hour lines for different seasons. The hemicycle, said to have been invented about 300 B. C. , removed the useless half of the hemisphere to give an appearance of a half bowl cut into the edge of a squared block.

The theatre did not burn down. Firefighters arrived quickly after the alarm(报警) and put out the fire so fast that no more than the seat coverings were burned. However, 602 people died, and many more were injured. Panic(惊慌), not the fire itself, caused the tragedy(悲剧).
A similar disaster occurred on a July morning in 1990 in the city of Mecca. Thousands of people were walking through a 600-yard-long tunnel(隧道) when the lights accidentally went out. Panic started the frightened people pushing their way through the tunnel and 1,426 people were killed.
The people in the Theatre and the Mecca tunnel behaved as people often do when faced with unexpected and dangerous situations such as fires, earthquakes, and floods: they panicked. Panic is one of the more extreme types of grouped people's behavior. It is a useless response to a serious threat or danger. It generally involves flight, but it is a special kind of flight. However, in panic behavior, the flight is unwise and unhelpful. It follows a loss of self-control, and it increases, rather than reduces, danger to oneself and others.
