Today, Christina and her friend are enjoying themselves. This morning they got up very early and drove out of San Francisco. They crossed the Bay Bridge before the early morning commute and drove south. Because it was so early, there were almost not cars.

?????? After driving an hour and a half, they stopped to had breakfast. They ordered pancakes and coffee. They also had some fresh fruits. When they finished eating, it was 7 o’clock. Then they got back into the car and drove south. Christina wanted to listen to music, so they turned on the radio. An hour later they stopped for gas. They noticed that there was also a charging station for electric cars.

?????? It’s now 1:15 and they are in Yosemite Park. They have been there for two hours, since 11:15. They are looking at the Yosemite falls, which is the highest waterfall in the park. The water drops a total of 740 meters from the top of upper fall to the base of the lower fall.

????? In another 15 minutes they plan to eat lunch at a magnificent old hotel in the park. It was built in 1927 and has a great view. They wanted to stay there, but they couldn’t get reservation. To get a room at that hotel you usually need to make reservations several months in advance.

????? They plan to stay in the park until around 4 o’clock. By then they will have been in the park for nearly 5 hours. Then they’ll get back into the car and drive back to San Francisco. They plan to eat dinner somewhere along the way. If the traffic isn’t too bad, they should be back in San Francisco by 10 o’clock.

????? Early tomorrow morning they are going to cross the Golden Gate Bridge and go north along the coast. From some places, you can look out on the ocean and see whales and other sea life. Christina has never seen a whale before, so she’s looking forward to it. And tomorrow night they have something special planned. They are going to watch a baseball game. Christina has never seen a baseball game, but she has heard that it is very popular in the US. And the San Francisco baseball team is one of the best.

A force is the push or a pull on the object. A force changes the motion of a moving object.

A force can be strong or weak and it always has a direction.

The earth is a planet that goes around the sun in the circular orbit. The speed of its motion doesn’t change and the direction of its motion does. The earth has a layer of gas above its surface, which helps to support life.

Atoms are the building blocks of matter. At the center of an atom is its nucleus, which has a positive electric charge. Outside the nucleus are electrons, which have a negative charge.

Asteroids and comics are object that orbits our sun, but are smaller than planets. Asteroid that pass close to the earth are called the near-earth objects. The layer of gases, just above the earth surface, is our atmosphere. The atmosphere is made up of gases, such as oxygen and hydrogen. Without an atmosphere, there will be not life on the earth.

The two lines on the left intersect each other at a right angle which is 90 degrees. The 2 lines on the right are parallel, which means they never cross.

The adjacent sides of rectangle are perpendicular, which means they meet at a 90-degree angle. The opposite sides of the rectangle are equal a parallel, which means they never cross. The area of a rectangle is the length times the width.

Intersect? ? ? vt.橫斷,橫切,橫穿? ?? vt.& vi.(指線條、道路等)相交,交叉

A circle is the 2 dimensional figures with radius and circumference which is the distance around the circle. The area of the circle is π R square, where r is the radius and Pi is the ratio of the circle’s circumference to its diameter.

Radius n.橈骨;半徑范圍;半徑(距離);用半徑度量的圓形面積

A right triangle is a 2 dimensional figure with 3 sides, 2 of which are perpendicular. To find its area, multiply the length of the 2 perpendicular sides, A and B and divided by 2, A equates one half A B.

Perpendicular

adj.垂直的,成直角的;直立的,險陡的;[建]垂直式的;〈謔〉直站著的

n.垂直線,垂直面;直立,直立姿勢,廉直;垂直測器,錘規(guī);[建]垂直式建筑,絕壁

Equate?? vt.等同;使相等;相當于

the electric force between the nucleus and the electrons holds the atom together.

A force can increase or decrease the speed of an object, and it can change the direction of motion.

M:Have you finished eating yet.

F:Not, I haven’t.Why are you in such a hurry.

M:I’m sorry, but you are such a slow eater.

F:A low eater? Well I try to enjoy my food. You just eat and swallow. I don’t see how you can even taste it.
