23、our ship enters a different time zone every day, As you enter each zone, the time changes one hour. Traveling west, you set clock back; traveling east, you set it ahead. Each day of your trip has either twenty-five or twenty-three hours. If you travel by ship across the Pacific, you cross the Intern

24、ational Date Line. By agreement, this is the point where a new day begins. When you cross the line, you change your calendar one full day, backward or forward.

28、.51 to 55) is the same as Task1 Today almost 70% of the electrical power we use comes from power plants that use fossil fuels (矿物燃料) to make electricity. Fossil fuels, such as oil, coal, and natural gas, are burned to make electricity. Burning fossil fuels releases pollution and carbon dioxide gas (

29、CO2) into the air. The more fossil fuels we burn, the warmer the air around Earth gets. So building fossil fuel plans is not always the best answer. Actually, there are other ways to make electricity without burning fossil fuels. People have been using the power of wind for centuries. Wind power won

30、t solve all our energy problems, but it can help meet some of the demands in certain places. Since the late 1800s, scientists have been working to turn the suns energy into electricity by using solar cells (太阳能电池). The problem is, solar cells are very expensive. Another way to make electricity is to

31、 use nuclear energy. It has been used for more than 50 years. Today about 10 percent of all the electricity used in the U.S.A. comes from this source. Although nuclear power doesnt pollute the air as the burning of fossil fuels does, there is a major drawback . The waste products from nuclear power

32、plants are dangerous and must be stored in safe places.
