摘要:The International Date Line is the name for . A.the beginning of any new time zone B.any point where time changes by one hour C.the point where a new day begins D.the end of any new time zone Passage 76 I often dreamed about Pisa when I was a boy. I read about the famous building called the Leaning Tower of Pisa. But when I read the word Pisa, I was thinking of pizza .I thought this tower was a place to buy pizza .It must be the best place to buy pizza in the world, I thought. Many years later I finally saw the Leaning Tower. I knew then that it was Pisa and no pizza. But there was still something special about it for me .The tower got its name because it really did lean to one side. Some people want to try to fix it. They are afraid it may fall over and they don’t like it leans over the city. I do not think it’s a good idea to try to fix it. The tower probably will not fall down. It is 600 years old. Why should anything happen to it now? And, if you ask me, I like what it looks like. To me it is a very human kind of leaning. Nothing is perfect. It seems to say. And who cares? Why do people want things to be perfect? Imperfect things may be more interesting. Let’s take the tower in Pisa. Why is it so famous? There are many other older, more beautiful towers in Italy. But Pisa tower is the most famous. People come from all over the world to see it.

  Strange things happen to time when you travel because the earth is divided into twenty-four zones (时区) , one hour apart(相差一个小时). You can have days with more or fewer than twenty-four hours, and weeks with more or fewer than seven days.

  If you make a five-day trip across the Atlantic Ocean, your ship enters a different time zone every day. As you enter each zone, the time changes one hour. Traveling west, you set your 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 international date line (国际日期变更线) . 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. Traveling east, today becomes yesterday. Traveling west, it is tomorrow.
