was. unfortunately, as long as they thought the earth was flat, no one was able to figure out its size. gradually, however, people began to realize that the earth was really round.then, in the third century bc（2,300 years ago）, a greek man named eratosthenes had an idea. eratosthenes was sure that the earth was a sphere. he used the sun and geometry to figure out the size of the earth. he calculated that the circumference of the earth was 28,600 miles（46,000 kilometers）.the true size of the earth is 25,000 miles（40，000 kilometers）.eratosthenes measurement was wrong, but it was very close to the truth.for many centuries after eratoshenes lived, people made maps of the earth. however, they did not know very much about the world outside of europe, asia, and north africa. mapmakers could not draw accurate maps of the earth until people began traveling around the world in the fifteenth century, mapping small areas each time. in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, people began making correct maps of countries, but the first accurate maps of the world were not made until the 1890s.maps today are reliable, inexpensive, and easy to understandpeople depend on maps every day. what would our lives be like without them?41a sphere is a .alarge shapebplanet cballdmember of the sun family42whats a synonym（同义词）for figure outageometrybcalculatecmake outdunderstand43look at

7-year-old overcome bedwetting, dr. howard bennett reaches for red water balloons and a superhero named bladderman. bedwetting is a problem for many children age 6 or older. alarms and medicines are available, but understanding how their bodies work for many kids is the key to staying dry. bennett published a book thats aimed directly at children, not just their parents to help understand bedwetting so that children understand accidents arent their faultits not a matter of willpower but of biologyand to outline research-backed steps they can take to help stay dry. bedwetting is hard on youngsters self-esteem (自尊). they may decline sleepovers or feel anxious about camp, such as doing their own laundry, to hide the problem. bennett even had a 9-year-old patient whose younger brother discovered his bedwetting and used it blackmail. children usually get nighttime bladder control between ages 3 and 5. the brain and bladder must learn to work together: first, the bladder signals the brain that its filling. the brain then either signals back for the bladder to relax and hold more overnight, or signals the child to awaken. boys are twice as likely as girls to experience delays in nighttime bladder control. for children who dont want to wait it out, there are ways to help. most common are alarms that make a sound when they sense wetness. the alarms, which cost from $ 60 to $200, can help train children to wake up. “but the education is important,” stresses dr. patrick mckenna. good training in how the bladder works and how to control it can meet the devices effect.46.
