英语四级听力50篇：19 Finding the Direction and Location

How can you tell which direction? By day, look for the

Sun. It is in the east in the morning and the west in the

afternoon. At night, use the Big Dipper to help you find the

North Star. It would be better to bring a compass because its

needle always points north.

How do you know how far you have gone? You could count

every step. Each step is about two feet. You’d better wear a

pedometer which is a tool that counts steps. If you know

where you started, which direction you are heading, and how

far you have gone, you can use a good map to figure out

exactly where you are.

Today there is a new way for travelers to figure out

where they are. It is the GPS. It has 24 satellites that

orbit the earth and constantly broadcast their positions.

Someday you may carry a small receiver as you hike and use

GPS to find out if you are there yet!
