How Time Changes around the World?

Strange things happen to time when you travel because the earth is divided into twenty-four zones(时区),one hour apart(一个时区相差一个小时). 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(大西洋), your ship enters a different time zone every day. As you enter each zone, the time changes one hour. Travelling west, you set your clock back, travelling east, you set it ahead (向前). 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 calender one full day, backward or forward. Travelling east, today becomes yesterday. Travelling west, it is tomorrow.
