Strange things happen to time when you travel because the earth is divided（划分为）into twenty-four zones（时区）, one hour apart. 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, your ship enters a different time zone every day. As you enter each zone, the time changes one hour. Travelling west, you put your watch back, travelling east you put it forward. Each day of your trip has either twenty-five or twenty-three hours.

If you travel by ship across the Pacific Ocean, you cross the international date line（*日期变更线） agreement, this is the point where a new day begins. When you cross the line, you change your calendar（日历）one full day, backward or forward. Travelling east, it is tomorrow.
