    The word "day" has two meanings. When we talk about the number of days in a year, we are using
"day" to mean 24 hours. But when we talk about day and night, we are using "day" to mean the time
between sunrise and sunset. Since the earth looks like a ball, the sun can shine on only half of it at a time.
Always one half of the earth is having day and the other half night. A place is moved from day into night
and from night into day over and over by the spinning (旋转)of the earth. At the equator (赤道) day and
night are sometimes the same length. They are each twelve hours long. The sun rises at 6 o'clock in the
morning and sets at 6 o'clock in the evening. For six months the North Pole is tilted (倾斜) toward the sun.
In those months the Northern Hemisphere (半球) gets more hours of sunlight than the Southern
Hemisphere. Days are longer than nights. South of the equator nights are longer than days. For the other
six months the North Pole is tilted away from the sun. Then the Southern Hemisphere gets more sunlight.
Days are longer than nights. North of the equator nights are longer than days. Winter is the season of long
nights. Summer is the season of long days.

       屋子里没有生炉子,又湿又阴冷。桑娜举起马灯,想看看病人在什么地方,首先投入眼帘的是对着门放着的一张床,床上仰面躺着她的女邻居。她一动不动,只有死人才是这副 (        )样。桑娜把马灯举得更近一些,不错,是西蒙。她头向后仰着,冰冷发青的脸上现出死的宁静,一只手苍白僵硬的,像要抓住什么(       )的,从稻草铺垂了下来。就在这死去的母亲旁边,睡着两个很小的孩子,都是卷头发,圆脸蛋,身上盖着旧衣服,蜷缩着身子,两个浅黄头发的小脑袋紧紧地靠在一起。显然母亲在临死的时候,拿自己的衣服盖在他们身上,还用旧头巾包住他们的小脚。孩子的呼吸均匀而平静,他们睡得又香又甜。
