19、w York (NY) to London but seven hours to travel east-west from London to NY. The reason for the difference is an atmospheric phenomenon known as the jet (喷射) stream. The jet stream is a very high altitude wind which always blows from the west to the east across the Atlantic. The planes moving at a c

20、onstant air speed thus go faster in the west-east direction when they are moving with the wind than in the opposite direction.What would happen if the gravity on Earth was suddenly turned off?Supposing we could magically turn off gravity, would buildings and other structures (建筑物) float away?

22、line. “Switching off” gravity would be like letting go of the string. Things not attached to the Earth would fly off in a straight line.

26、prises, asked men and women on six continents about personality they liked or disliked and how they went about trying to meet Mr or Ms Right. The survey showed differences between countries in the way people tried to impress the opposite sex. Australians and British men frequently admitted drinking

27、too much, while about half of German and Italian men said they had lied about their fiances (未婚妻). Spaniards were the most likely to use sex to catch someones attention.

28、the survey said. When it came to meeting that special someone, a majority of respondents preferred to rely on friends for introductions.

38、 Instead, concentrate on and build on your strengths. How Do I Work? In what ways do you work best? Do you process information most effectively by reading it, or by hearing others discuss it? Do you accomplish the most by cooperating, or by working alone? Do you perform best while making decisions,

39、or while advising others on key matters? Are you in top form when things get worrying, or do you get on well in a highly common work environment? What Are My Values? What are your moral standards?

46、y of ways to find cheap solar panels（板）, including buying used and building your own with factory seconds.

47、emote locations. When those units become cracked or chipped and are considered unsafe, companies are forced to replace them, generally to avoid responsibility issues.

48、r prices. Depending on the degree of damage present, expect to see performance degradation in the range of 10% to 60%. A multimeter (万用表) can be used to test the panel before buying. If the panels free, take it anyway. It could still be useful in a home solar project. A solar panel is really nothing

49、 but a box serving as a container for a large group of solar cells. Factory second solar cells are usually sold on eBay at a small part of their regular cost. The cells come in a variety of sizes. You will need to figure out how much power a single cell produces to determine how many will need to be

50、 wired together to form an array. A simple search of the Internet will show numerous sites detailing home solar panel projects. Do-it-yourself lovers are generally quite generous in supplying photographs of their work and description of what went wrong and right with the project. Getting cheap solar

51、 panels with slight imperfections, either used or through sales of factory seconds, is a perfect solution for home-built renewable energy projects.

52、ng involved. All are well within the talents of almost any home handyman.
