（一） Time is a problem for children, states a news report for a new Swiss watch. Children in some countries learn time slowly because they don ’t wear watches and parents don ’t really know how to teach them time. The children grow up with this handicap and become adults ( 成人 ) —and then can’t get to work on time. Is there an answer to this problem? Of course — it ’s the Flik Flak, made by a famous Swiss watch company. The Flik Flak is being marketed as something teaching watch for children aged 4 to 10. The watch itself does not teach children how to tell time, of course; it merely takes their imagination by presenting the hour hand as a beautiful red girl named Flak and the minute hand as a tall blue boy named Flik. Flik points to related blue minutes on the dial, while Flak points to red hour numbers. The characters and colors combined with parent al help, are supposed to teach young children how to tell time. The watch comes equipped with a standard battery ( 电池 ) and a nylon band ( 尼 龙表带 ). Peter Lipkin, the United States sales manager for the Flik Flak, calls it childproof if it gets dirty you can throw the whole watch in the washing machine. The product is being sold in select department stores in Europe, Asia and the United States for a suggested price of $25.
