Strange things happen to time when you travel.because the earth is divided(劃分) into twenty.four zones(地區(qū)).You can have days with more or fewer than twenty-four hours,and weeks with more or fewer than seven days.
If you make a five-day trip across the Atlantic(大西洋)Ocean,your ship enters(進(jìn)入) a different time zone every day.As you enter each zone,the time changes one hour. Travelling west, you set your clocr back, travelling east, you set it ahead.Each day of your trip has twenty-five or twenty—three hours.
If you travel by ship across the Pacific(太平洋),you cross the international date line(國(guó)際日期變更線). The world agrees that this is the point where a new day begins.When you cross the line,you change your calendar(日歷) one full day,backward(向后)or forward(向前)。Travelling east, today becomes yesterday;traveling west it is tomorrow.

科目:初中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源:2013屆山西省農(nóng)業(yè)大學(xué)附屬中學(xué)九年級(jí)下學(xué)期中考練兵英語(yǔ)試卷(帶解析) 題型:閱讀理解
I found out that sometimes doing someone a favor could get you into a lot of trouble. I was in the eighth grade at the time, and we were having a final test. During the test, the girl sitting next to me said something to me, but I didn’t understand. So I got closer to her and found out that she was trying to ask me if I had an extra pen. She showed me that hers could not write. I happened to have an extra one, so I took it out of my pocket and put it on her desk.
Later, after the test paper had been turned in, the teacher asked me to stay in the classroom when all the other students were out. Then she began to talk to me about honesty and emphasized(重點(diǎn)強(qiáng)調(diào)) the fact that when people do something dishonest, they are really cheating themselves. She made me promise that I would think seriously about all the things she had said, and then she told me I could leave. I walked out of the room wondering why she had talked to me about all those things.
The next day, I realized that the teacher thought I had cheated on the test. When she saw me talk to the girl next to me, it looked as if I was copying answers from the girl’s test paper. I tried to explain about the pen, but she said it seemed very strange to her that I hadn’t talked of anything about the pen when she talked to me after the test. She continued to believe that I had cheated on the test.
