15、n; thus, tides are very complicated phenomenon involving many factors, all of which must be considered to predict tidal action in any one place at any given time. The alternate rise and fall of the surface of the seas and the oceans is mainly caused by the attractive force of the moon. When the attr
16、action is great, the tide is high; conversely, when the attraction is minimal, the tide is low. Between the high tide and the low tide is a period of a little over six hours, being called during its rise a flood tide, and during its fall an ebb (退潮 ) tide. The sun also exerts its effect on the tide,
17、 being a little less than half as much as the moon, although its mass is so much greater. When the moon and the sun are horizontal, the highest tide occurs and when they are vertical the lowest tide takes place. The wind also plays an important part in the modification of the normal rise and fall of
18、 the tides. Thus these factors affect each other, either detracting (转移 ) or adding to the attractive forces to add or subtract from the magnitude of the tide. One thing is certain: the tides move inexorably (不可阻挡 ) on, rising twice a day, shifting a little in time each day, and coutinually posing t

23、h 45. 34 There was a time in early history of man when the days bad no names! The reason was quite simple: Men had not invented the week. In those days, the only division of times was the month, and there were too many days in the month for each of them to have a separate name. But when men began to
24、 build cities, they wanted to have a special day on which to trade, a market day. Sometimes these market day were fixed at every tenth day, sometimes every seventh or every fifth day. The Babylonians decided that it should be every seventh day. On this day they didnt work, but met for trade and reli
25、gious festivals. The Jews followed their example, and kept every seventh day for religious purposes. In this way the week came into being. The Jews gave each of the seven days a name, but it was really a number after the Sabbath(安息日 ) day (which Was Saturday). When the Egyptians adopted the seven -
26、day week, they named the days after five planets, the sun and the moon.
