Daily direct flights from the mainland to Taiwan have begun. Now Taiwan passengers can fly
to the mainland directly across the Taiwan Strait and return in one day. They no longer need to stop at a third place. It’s very convenient(方便的)for people in Taiwan, especially for businessmen.
Passengers and businessmen in Taiwan have waited for this for a long time. And now, they are very excited. A Taiwan businessman said, “I can return in one day. It’s helpful for my business.” A passenger said, “Many people are so excited that they can not fall asleep.”
In the past, passengers had to change the flights in Hong Kong, whether to the mainland or to Taiwan. It was as long as two and a half hours’ flight between Shanghai and Taipei, but now it saves 80 minutes.

Leave it there for an hour, giving the shadow a chance to move. An hour later, go back and place a second small rock at the end of where the shadow is now resting. Now place your left foot on the first rock and your right foot on the second. You will be facing north.
How does this method work? The thing that makes this process confusing is the fact that we automatically think the shadow moves in a circle. The shadow, however, does not go in a circle, but rather changes length as the earth goes around the sun. The sun travels east to west, so the shadow will travel west to east.
