【英语时差8,16】时间之谜--年、月的由来
时间：2018-12-27 作者：英语课 分类：英语时差8，16
People saw 1 the sun rise 2 higher in the sky during 3 the summer than in winter. They counted the days that passed from the sun's highest position 5 until 6 it returned 7 to that position. They counted three-hundred sixty-five days. We now know that is the time Earth 8 takes to move once around the sun. We call this period 9 of time a year. Early humans 10 also noted 11 changes in the moon. As 4 it moved across 12 the night sky, they must have wondered 13. Why did 14 it look different every night? Why did it disappear 15? Where did it go? Even 16 before they learned 17 the answers to these questions, they developed 18 a way to use the changing faces of the moon to tell time. The moon was 19 "full" when its face was bright and round. The early humans counted the number of times the sun appeared 20 between full moons. They learned that this number always remained 21 the same -- about twenty-nine suns. Twenty-nine suns equaled one moon. We now know this period of time as one month.
