take a compass you can still find your way It s never a good idea to imagine that the family member who was entrusted 委托 with the job of map reading actually knows where the family is You can tell by the slightly confused look on their faces that nothing on the ground seems to match the map Never mind The sun is shining and it s still morning If you don t know the exact time you can still find out where south is but you ll need to be patient Find a straight stick and put it in the ground in a place where you can mark its shadow Try to position the stick as vertically 垂直 as you can You can check this by making a simple plumb line 铅锤线 with a piece of string and weight You haven t got any string OK use a thread from your clothes with a button tied at the end to act as a weight Mark the end of the shadow cast by the stick Wait approximately half an hour and mark the end of the shadow again Keep doing this until you have made several marks The mark nearest the stick will represent the shortest shadow which is cast at midday when the sun is highest in the sky and pointing to the exact south Pick a point in the distance along the line between the shortest shadow and the stick That point is south of where you are Now you can turn the map like you did before and find which way you should be travelling 语篇解读 你有好的方向感吗 如果没有 那就要带上指南针 如果没带指南针呢 你仍然可以用其他方法找到方向 本文就是教你如何找到方向的 1 To find the

handbars I meant to get to Jinghai Bar as fast as I could Oh My hands Don t come any closer Don t touch me That poor doctor just couldn t get my gloves off Each time he took a step towards me I broke

reasons First most people recognize jumping rope as an excellent form of cardiovascular 心血管的 exercise but they also believe that it is simply too difficult In other words they don t think they ll be able to continue jumping for the near 20 minutes that it takes to achieve a beneficial physical outcome Second many view it as somewhat boring and overly repetitive not as something fun or enjoyable As a matter of fact jumping rope can be great fun if you find a proper way to practice it Instead of doing the usual two foot bounce over and over again people good at rope jumping often change their pattern every 10 or 20 jumps A single bounce a double bounce a skip a knee up side swings as well as a variety of other easy to learn free style rope jumping Now researchers are learning that jumping
