Because electricity travels faster than sound waves.”“That’s very good,”Miss Gorgers answered; but then one of the girls raised her hand, and Miss Gorgers said, “Yes, Kate?”“I disagree,”Kate said. “Your brother would hear you earlier because when it’s 11 o’clock here it’s only 8 o’clock in Los Angeles.”46.

Two?”The students moved restlessly in their seats. “One, then? Certainly somebody has finished one.”But the class kept silent(沉默). The professor said, “That is exactly what I expected. I just want to make you know clearly that even though you have completed four years of engineering, there are still many things about the subject you don’t know.
