①At 4:00 p. m. , in Beijing, you are watching a football game live(现场直播) from Europe. At the same time, your friend in New York is sleeping—it's 3:00 a. m. there! Why is the time so different? Why do people in other places start their day when we are already in the middle of ours?
②That's because of time zones. Even though we live on the same planet, people in different places are doing different things at the same time.
③How do time zones work? The earth is like a big spinning(旋转的）ball. It turns from west to east. That's why the sun is coming up in the east first. The world is divided into（被分成）24 time zones. Every time zone is one hour different.
④ Let's look at some examples. In Beijing, people are already asleep. In London, people are enjoying afternoon tea at around 4 p. m. In New York, many people are ready for lunch at that time.
⑤Time zones also bring some problems to our modern life. For example, a video meeting may start at 1 p. m. in Beijing, but it's midnight in New York. These time differences make it important to plan carefully and respect others' time.
⑥Time zones don't just change the clock—they change our daily lives. Time makes us different—but it also makes the world colourful and fun.

A. To show how interesting meetings are.
