Miss Gorgers taught physics in a New York school. Last month she explained to one of her classes about sound, and she decided to test them to see how successful she had been in her explanation. She said to them,"Now I have a brother in Los Angeles. If I was calling him on the phone and at the same time you were 75 feet away, listening to me from across the street, which of you would hear what I said earlier, my brother or you and for what reason?" Tom at once answered, "Your brother. Because electricity travels faster than sound waves.""That"s very good, "Miss Gorgers answered; but then one of the girls raised her hand, and Miss Gorgers said."Yes, Kate." "I disagree,"Kate said."Your brother would hear you earlier because when it"s 11 o"clock here it"s only 8 o"clock in Los Angeles." |

Because of my curiosity(好奇心), I had a really exciting weekend. I took a trip to Gloucester to see some of the world’s most beautiful animals-whales (鲸鱼)in the North Atlantic Ocean. After a long trip by train and bus, we got on the ship called the “Privateer”. On our way to see the whales on that beautiful sunny day, I grew more and more excited. After a while we stopped, and everyone on the ship started to shout because we’d seen whales. It was wonderful! While we were watching the whales, a guide was giving us information about them. She told us we were seeing only two kinds of whales - 50-foot whales (singing whales) and 70-foot whales (the second largest whales on the earth). She also said we could easily tell the different kinds of whales by their tales(尾巴), since every whale has a different tail, just as people have different fingerprints(指纹). They all have names as well. On this trip, we saw “Salt” and “Pepper”, two whales named by a scientist and a fisherman. They swam together all the time. Sometimes whales came so close to the ship that we thought we could touch them. I took twenty-seven photos, which was a really hard job because they moved so quickly, and stayed on the surface of the ocean for such a short time. Having seen the whales was one of the chances few people ever got. I was lucky enough to have that chance. |
