Our planet, the Earth, is the third planet from the sun. 我们的星球，地球，是太阳的第三颗行星。
  
 It is a beautiful, rotating sphere. 它是一个美丽的旋转球体。
  
 The side facing the Sun is in daylight. 面向太阳的一面是在白天。
  
 The side facing away from the sun is in darkness. 背朝太阳的一面是黑暗的。
  
 For example, when it’s daytime in the US, it’s nighttime in China. 例如，在美国是白天，在中国是晚上。
  
 In fact, there’s a 12-hour time difference between Boston and Shanghai. 事实上，波士顿和上海之间有12个小时的时差。
  
 When it’s midnight in Shanghai, it’s noon in Boston. 上海的午夜是波士顿的中午。
  
 The earth rotates from west to east. 地球由西向东旋转。
  
 To know which direction is east or west, watch the Sun. 要知道哪个方向是东方还是西方，就看太阳。
  
 The Sun travels through the sky from east to west. 太阳从东向西穿过天空。
  
 The Sun comes up in the east and goes down in the west. 太阳从东方升起，从西方落下。
  
 Again, this is because the Earth rotates. 同样，这是因为地球在自转。
  
 It takes 24 hours for the Earth to make a complete rotation. 地球自转一周需要24小时。
  
 And that is the length of one day. 这就是一天的长度。
  
 Because of the Earth’s rotation, the earth is divided into time zones. 由于地球自转，地球被划分为几个时区。
  
 Some countries, such as the US, have several time zones. 有些国家，如美国，有好几个时区。

 Europe and the US are separated by several time zones. 欧洲和美国被几个时区分开。
  
 When it’s 5:00 pm in Paris, it’s 11:00 am in Boston. 巴黎是下午5点，波士顿是早上11点。
  
 So there's a 6-hour difference between Paris and Boston. 巴黎和波士顿之间有6个小时的时差。
  
 One large country, China, has just one time zone for the
  
 whole country. 中国是一个大国，整个国家只有一个时区。
  
 As a result, at the same time, some parts of the country can be dark and other parts can be light. 因此，在这个国家的某些地方可能是黑暗的，而另一些地方可能是光明的。
  
 As you travel around the earth, the time changes.当你环游地球时，时间会改变。
  
 The time of day depends on your location on the planet. 一天的时间取决于你在地球上的位置。
  
 When you travel east or west, you may cross several time zones. 当你向东或向西旅行时，你可能会跨越几个时区。
  
 For example, if you travel from Beijing to Los Angeles, you cross 8 time zones. 例如，如果你从北京到洛杉矶旅行，你会穿越8个时区。
  
 That means, when it’s noon on Sunday in China, it’s 8:00 pm on Saturday in Los Angeles. 也就是说，中国周日中午，洛杉矶周六晚上8点。
  
 For travelers, this means it can be very difficult to sleep after a long flight. 对于旅行者来说，这意味着长途飞行后很难入睡。
  
 The clock may say 8:00 pm, but for your body it’s noon. 时钟可能是晚上8点，但对你的身体来说是中午。
  
 This is called jet lag. 这叫做时差。

 One thing Walter is considering is to sell his shares in the company.

   He doesn't know much about investing,and several of his friends have lost a lot by making bad investments.
     
   The company Walter works for is a pharmaceutical company.
   It develops new drugs,which is a risky business, and sells them worldwide.
   It's expensive to develop new drugs, and it can take a very long time to get a new drug approved.

   Machu Picchu is one of the world's most impressive histrical sites.
   The city was almost forgotten until 1911 when it was discovered by an American historian, Hiram Bingham, after he heard rumors of its existence.
   Bingham was led to the site by local farmers and was amazed by what he saw, which seemed like an unbelievable dream.
   He wondered if anyone would believe what he had found.
     
   Another contributing factor in sports injuries is fatigue.
   Doctors believe that fatigue is an important warning sign that the body has reached its limit.
   When fatigued it is more difficult for the body to protect itself.
   Therefore it's good idea to stop an activity at the first sign of fatigue.
     
   Last week John got some bad news.
   His company is downsizing and moving its head office to another city.
   It's moving because it can no longer afford to do business where they are now.
   Expenses are too high, especially salaries, so it's more difficult to compete with other companies.
     
   Located in the Andes Mountains of Peru, at 8,000 feet above sea  level , the "City of the Incas" was mysteriously  abandoned  just 100 years after its  construction .
   This was when the Spanish were beginning their  conquest  of the Inca Empire, in the 1530's.
   There is no  evidence  that the Spanish invaders ever  attacked  or even reached the mountaintop city, so many  believe  that the city's inhabitants  abandoned  the city because of an epidemic.
