Most people are so used to the differences between night and day (or summer and winter) that they take them for granted. But these changes in light and temperature have an enormous impact on other systems on our planet. One is the circulation of air through our atmosphere. For example: The Sun shines brightly over the equator. The air gets very warm because the equator faces the Sun directly and because the ozone layer is thinner there. As the air warms, it begins to rise, creating a low pressure system. The higher it rises, the more the air cools. Water condenses as the air cools, creating clouds and rainfall. The air dries out as the rain falls. The result is warm, dry air, relatively high in our atmosphere. Because of the lower air pressure, air rushes toward the equator from the north and south. As it warms, it rises, pushing the dry air away to the north and the south. The dry air sinks as it cools, creating highpressure areas and deserts to the north and south of the equator. This is just one piece of how the Sun circulates air around the worldocean currents, weather patterns and other factors also play a part. But in general, air moves from highpressure to lowpressure areas, much the way that highpressure air rushes from the mouth of an inflated balloon when you let go. Heat also generally moves from the warmer equator to the cooler poles. Imagine a warm drink sitting on your deskthe air around the drink gets warmer as the drink gets colder. This happens on Earth on an enormous scale. The Coriolis Effect, a product of the Earth39。s most visible contributions to life are light, heat and weather.Night and Day Some of the Sun39。Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)Directions: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on Answer Sheet 1. For questions 17, choose the best answer from the four choices marked [A], [B], [C] and [D]. For questions 810, plete tile sentences with the information given in the passage. The EarthPower and Light Compared to the rest of the universe, the Earth is very small. Our planet and eight (or maybe nine) others orbit the Sun, which is only one of about 200 billion stars in our galaxy. Our galaxy, the Milky Way, is part of the universe, which includes millions of other galaxies and their stars and planets. By parison, the Earth is microscopic. Compared to a person, on the other hand, the Earth is enormous. It has a diameter of 7,926 miles (12,756 kilometers) at the equator, and it has a mass of about 61024 kilograms. The Earth orbits the Sun at a speed of about 66,638 miles per hour ( kilometers per second). Don39。s diameter at its equator is about 100 times bigger than Earth39。s axis tips a littleabout degrees. One hemisphere points toward the Sun as the other points away. The hemisphere that points toward the Sun is warmer and gets more lightit39。ve seen water form on the side of a cold drink, you39。13.
