Risa in Roma, Italy is chatting online with his friend Xiaoming, who has just moved to Beijing, China with his family. After a little while, Xiaoming tells Risa that it’s time for him to go to bed. Risa looks outside to see the sun shining and is confused why Xiaoming would go to bed when it’s so early! “What time is it?” Risa asks. “It’s 9:00 pm!” Xiaoming replies. What’s going on here? Is it some kind of time travel?
In fact, it is NOT. This is actually just something that happens every day to our planet. Risa and Xiaoming are having different times because Xiaoming is now in a different time zone.
A time zone is an area on Earth that has a specific time that all the people in that area can set their clocks to. You’ll pass through different time zones if you travel from east to west (or west to east) on the surface of Earth. Humans came up with the idea of time zones and decided which parts of Earth are in which time zones in the 1880s. The world now has 24 time zones and each time zone is one hour ahead (领先) or behind its neighboring ones. You can see part of these time zones on the map below. The numbers on the map show how many hours you must add to or subtract from the Greenwich Mean Time (格林威治时间) to get the local time.
Most countries, such as Ireland and Japan fall in one zone. Some large countries such as the U.S., Canada and Russia may be divided into three or more time zones. But China is the only large country besides India that only uses one time zone.
We need time zones because Earth is like a ball. Each day, Earth completes one full turn. As it turns, sun shines on only one part of it at a time. While the sun shines where you live, you are having the daytime, but it’s nighttime somewhere else. It would be silly if people all over the world used the same time.
A.To share this interesting story. |
B.To introduce the topic of time zones. |
C.To give an example of time travel. |
D.To explain how Earth completes a full turn. |
A.2:00 pm | B.4:00 am | C.1:00 pm | D.5:00 am |
A.Because the world time zones can make time longer. |
B.Because it is boring to have just one time zone. |
C.Because not all the places can be in the daytime at the same time. |
D.Because there are too many countries in the world. |
A.If you travel from north to south on the surface of Earth, you will certainly pass through different time zones. |
B.Time zones are something that naturally happens. |
C.China is the only large country in the world that only uses one time zone. |
D.Different cities in America may be using different time zones. |
A.By adding 5 hours to the Greenwich Mean Time. |
B.By multiplying the Greenwich Mean Time by 5. |
C.By subtracting 5 hours from the Greenwich Mean Time. |
D.By dividing the Greenwich Mean Time by 5. |
Pompeii is an ancient city in Italy. It is famous for having been suddenly buried (埋葬) in 79 A.D. by a volcano located nearby named Vesuvius. Though thousands of people escaped, over 1,100 people were killed almost instantly in the extreme heat that was released by the volcano. They were quickly covered by small rocks, ash and dust from the volcano.
People began excavating (挖掘) Pompeii in the mid-1700s. Over the years, scientists have discovered more and more about the life of these people who were sadly frozen in time.
Archeologists (考古学家) have discovered theaters, swimming pools, gyms, hospitals and many different kinds of stores in Pompeii. They’ve also found restaurants, including about 80 “fast food” restaurants called thermopolia, which served hot food and drinks to people on the streets.
In 2019, archeologists working for the Archeological Park of Pompeii announced that they were working to excavate a well-protected thermopolium. Because the restaurant was in such great shape, they decided to excavate the whole area.
“This is so exciting,” said the director of the archeological park. “It is the first time that we are excavating an entire thermopolium.”
A thermopolium has a long, low counter with lots of clay pots built into it to hold its store of food and drinks. What was special about this one was that even the pictures on its counter walls were still in almost perfect condition—almost exactly the way people would have seen them thousands of years ago.
Some of the paintings on the walls show ducks and roosters—examples of the food that could have been served at the snack bar. They even found a duck bone in it.
The scientists discovered many large clay jars, which held food and drinks. Two jars held fish and pork. They also found a mixture of snails, fish and lamb, which they believe may have been some sort of soup.
At least one of the jars held wine. “It was so strong that we could smell it through our masks,” said one of the archeologists. They expect to learn even more about the contents of the jars once they are finished being carefully studied in a laboratory.
The archeologists say they are really just beginning to understand all that they can learn from this thermopolium. Because the site was so complete, they expect it to reveal (揭露) many more of the hidden secrets of Pompeii.
