• 6．Peter Whittle helps people get their time back.From behind the counter（柜臺） of his repair shop，he brings to life1th-century pocket watches，old European clocks，and modern Rolexes.
     Digital watches and cell phones may have replaced traditional timekeepers for many，but in the 20 years since he opened Whittle's Watcn Works，the demand for his services has only grown.Open three days a week，Whittle's shop takes in more than 1，000 watches a year，sometimes 10 in one day.
     Sixty years ago，there were more than 50，000 independent watchmakers in America.These days，the number has dropped to fewer than 6，000，according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
     "People say no one wears watches anymore，" Whittle said. "But at home，somewhere in a drawer，you might have your mother's watch or your grandfather's watch.And one day，you might find that you want to get it repaired."
     Whittle said he's been busy since the day he opened.He doesn't advertise，and seldom has an online presence，but people knock on the door even when the closed sign is up.During office hours he wears a long white coat that makes him look like a doctor，which he is，in a way.Whittle's services can cost very little，or hundreds.Working on Rolexes，each with about 225 pieces inside，costs an average of ﹩700.
  Joseph Caprara，a watch collector，has been coming to Whittle's for more than ten years.Of the dozens of timepieces he's brought to Whittle，one of the most memorable was an inexpensive watch his mother wore. "What he's really doing sometimes is restoring memories，Caprara said. "Sometimes a watch is worth a lot more to a person than what you'd think."
     Though the great increase of cell phones has led to fewer people wearing watches，Jordan Ficklin，executive director of the American Watchmakers - Clockmakers Institute，sees hope for the industry in newer devices like Apples watches，which he says are bringing back that sense of a physical connection with a watch.And like traditional timepieces，the marketing around computerized watches often links the device to emotional experiences：a non-athlete training for a first marathon，a parent monitoring a child's illness，people whose watches have become a basic part of their life.
  
  （1）What do we know about Whittle's Watch Works？

  
  A．It is going well.
  B．It opens five days a week.
  C．It needs online advertising.
  D．It has fewer and fewer customers.
  （2）What does Whittle think of repairing watches？

  
  A．It is demanding
  B．It is disappearing slowly.
  C．It still has a market.
  D．It should charge higher than before.
  （3）What did Caprara say about watches？

  
  A．They are a waste of money.
  B．They have gone out of fashion.
  C．They are likely to rise in value.
  D．They keep old memories alive.
  （4）What can we learn about computerized watches？

  
  A．They fail to sell well.
  B．They will replace traditional watches.
  C．They have a huge influence on cell phones.
  D．They can also create emotional ties with customers.
