The principle of use and disuse states that those parts of organisms’ bodies that are used

Enthusiasts of “body-building” cult make use of the principle of use and disuse to build their bodies, almost like a piece of sculpture, into whatever unnatural shape is demanded by

It is a well-known fact that it takes the Earth approximately 365 days to move around the
sun, and the Earth revolves around itself over the course of 24 hours, which explains why
there is day and night One half of the Earth is always facing the Sun and the other half is facing away from it As a result, there are different time zones dividing the globe Moving suddenly from one time zone into the other, as when flying for example from Asia to North America, causes jetlag People feel tired, they wake up suddenly during the night and cannot
go back to sleep It takes time to get used to a new time zone.
Another thing to consider is that the Earth does not stand straight, but leans a little to one
side Therefore, when it revolves around the Sun, the middle part of the Earth is always
closer to the Sun and gets more heat This part is called the equator, and above it lay the tropics Countries at the tropics get the same amount of daylight all the time The sun always
Trang 7rises at 6 a.m and sets at 6 p.m In contrast, the tips of the Earth or the Poles get hardly any light at all because they are so far away from the sun There are two main seasons at the Poles: 6 months of summer with the sunlight and 6 months of winter with constant darkness
In between the tropics and the Poles lies the temperate zone, where there are 4 seasons In the spring and summer, it gets light earlier; in the fall and winter it gets dark earlier People living in temperate zones take advantage of that fact to get more daylight At the beginning
of spring, countries in Europe and North America readjust their clocks They change the time on their clocks and watches by moving them an hour ahead As a result, the sun does not set around 7 or 8 p.m as usual, but an hour later This measure is called Daylight Savings Time (DST) and lasts until the beginning of fall, when people move their clocks back one hour to Standard of regular Time
In 1907 William Willet suggested using DST Yet his idea was shelved by the British
government, who thought it was unnecessary DST was first put into practice by the German government in 1916 in order to save energy during the First World War Shortly after, the United Kingdom followed suit, with the United States doing the same in 1918 The law was very unpopular since people had to wake up earlier and many experienced a feeling similar
to jetlag But the 1970s energy crisis forced the US to make DST the law Studies have shown that the introduction of DST in the spring saved the US 10,000 barrels of oil per day between 1974-1975 It also prevented 2,000 traffic injuries and 50 traffic-related deaths, saving the country $28 million
