How Time Changes around the World?
　　Strange things happen to time when you travel because the earth is divided
into twenty-four zones(時(shí)區(qū)),one hour apart(一個(gè)時(shí)區(qū)相差一個(gè)小時(shí)). 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(大西洋), your ship
enters a different time zone every day. As you enter each zone, the time changes

　　If you travel by ship across the Pacific. You cross the international date line
(國際日期變更線). By agreement, this is the point where a new day begins.

tomorrow.
