18、ng glass tubes he was using for an experiment into the case for care. The quake had knocked the tubes over and blocked the pendulum(钟摆).

28、the cowboys job was to take the cattle hundreds of miles to the railroad towns.The trips were called cattle drives. A cattle drive usually took several months. Cowboys rode for sixteen hours a day. Because they rode so much, each cowboy brought along about eight horses. A cowboy changed horses sever

29、al times each day.The cowboys had to make sure that the cattle arrived safely. Before starting on a drive, the cowboys branded the cattle. They burned a mark on the cattle to show who they belonged to. But these marks didnt stop rustlers, or cattle thieves. Cowboys had to protect the cattle from rus
