9 . On an island in northern Norway, the sun doesn’t set from May 18 right through to July 26. The locals, having spent the long polar night from November to January, when the sun doesn’t rise at all, make the most of these months, with no regard to conventional timekeeping. The island intends to exchange its watches for flower garlands (花环) and declare itself the world’s first time-free zone.

“There’s constant daylight, and we act accordingly,” says islander Kjell Ove Hveding in a statement. “In the middle of the night, which citizens might call ‘2 am’, you can spot children playing soccer, people painting their houses or mowing their lawns, and teens going for a swim.”

Now they want to make it official. Islanders gathered at a town hall meeting to sign a petition (请愿) for a time-free zone and on June 13, Hveding met with a Norwegian member of parliament (国会) to hand over the locals’ signatures and to discuss the practical and legal challenges.

“To us, getting this in writing would simply mean formalizing the lifestyle we have been living for generations,” he says.

Islanders hope to be free of traditional opening hours and to introduce flexibility in school and working hours. Fishing and tourism are the main industries on this island with a population of little more than 300 people. Local fisher and women often spend days on the ocean for their catch, with little regard to timetable.

It’s clear that they mean business. When visitors cross the bridge to the island from the mainland, they aren’t greeted with padlocks (symbolizing love locks) like on similar bridges worldwide. The bridge is covered with watches, as people prepare for entry to the land time forgot.

1. What do the islanders normally do at midnight from May 18 to July 26?

A．Do daily work or have fun.	B．Sleep like outside people.
C．Struggle with strong light.	D．Turn watches into flowers.

2. What can we learn about the islanders’ living a life free of time?

A．It is difficult to describe.	B．It has been a long tradition.
C．It is a new kind of lifestyle.	D．It proves practical and legal.

3. What does the underlined part “they mean business” mean in the last paragraph?

A．Visitors actually prefer watches on bridges.	B．Visitors are ready to enter a time-free island.
C．The islanders intend to treat tourism as business.	D．The islanders are serious about being free of time.

4. What is the main idea of the text?

A．An island wants to be a time-free zone officially.	B．Islanders in Norway have been free from time.
C．It’s time to lead a life without the limit of time.	D．An island won’t be open to the world any longer.
