    The word 'day' has two meanings. When we talk about the number of days in a year. We are using 'day' to mean 24 hours. But when we talk about day and night. We are using 'day' to mean the time between sunrise and sunset. Since the earth looks like a ball. The sun can shine on only half of it at a time. Always one half of the earth is having day and the other half night. A place. is moved from day into night and from night into day over and over by the spinning(旋转)of the earth. At the equator(赤道)day and night are sometimes the same length, they are each twelve hours long. The sun rises at 6 o'clock in the morning and sets at 6 o'clock in the evening. For six months the North Pole is tilted(倾斜)toward the Sun. In those months the Northern Hemisphere(半球)gets more hours of sunlight than the Southern Hemisphere. Days are longer than nights. South of the equator nights are longer than days. For the other six months the North Pole is tilted away from the SUN. Then the Southern Hemisphere gets more sunlight. Days are longer than nights. North of the equator nights ate longer than days. Winter is the season of long nights. Summer is the season of long days.

(1)、When the Western Hemisphere is having day. The Eastern Hemisphere is having_____.
A、both day and night B、day C、neither day nor night D、night
(2)、At the equator day is________ as long as night.

    Do equations and historical( 历史的) facts give you a headache? A change in the school timetable(课程表) may be the cure.

    This  suggestion  is  based  on  a  recent  study  carried  out  by  scientists  from  Royal  Holloway, University of London, the UK. They found that teenagers could get higher marks in math if they studied in the mornings and better grades in history if they were taught in the afternoons.

    The researchers studied students' grade reports, class timetables and absence rates( 缺席率) at a middle school in Bulgaria over nine years. The results showed that when teenagers had math classes earlier in the day, they scored about 7 percent higher in tests than when taught in the afternoon. Lower-ability students feel stressed most when they were studying math in the afternoon. In history, students taught in the afternoon scored about 6 percent higher than when they were taught in the morning. However, there was no sign that similar patterns( 模 式 ) work for other subjects such as languages or geography.

    Velichka Dimitrova, who did the study, said the findings show that we perform( 表 现 ) better at different times of the day. “In the morning, our brains are better and fresher, so we are better at doing something like problem solving, where we require more speed and attention” Dimitrova told The Telegraph. “In the afternoon, it seems that this process slows down. On the other hand, history is more suitable for the afternoon, when we are more creative and open to discussion,” she said. Subjects such as foreign languages require both memory and creativity. This is perhaps why the time of day had no influence on language learning.

    Time-of-day influences such as these are believed to have something to do with the body clock.

    This is the system in our bodies that controls when we need to sleep. Some schools in the US and UK have tried later school starting times for teenagers, whose body clocks change as they grow into adults. Dimitrova believes schools should jump at this chance to improve their students' performance just by changing their timetables.
