But being in the center of actual events that are creating that history, I cannot stay away from what is going on in my country.First of all, the aim of the bombing was to prevent a human suffering in Kosovo. Today, after many days
11、 of frequent bombing, that aim is more distant than before. The bombing only brought tens of thousands of people running away from their homes.

12、 they should realize they were wrong when they thought the bombing would solve the problem.So, whats left? Back off or ground troops? But who is going to join the ground troops?

Unfortunately, as long as they thought the Earth was flat, no one was able to figure out its size. Gradually, however, people began to realize that
18、 the Earth was really round.Then, in the third century BC（2,300 years ago）, a Greek man named Eratosthenes had an idea. Eratosthenes was sure that the Earth was a sphere. He used the sun and geometry to figure out the size of the Earth. He calculated that the circumference of the Earth was 28,600 mi
19、les（46,000 kilometers）.The true size of the Earth is 25,000 miles（40，000 kilometers）.Eratosthenes measurement was wrong, but it was very close to the truth.For many centuries after Eratoshenes lived, people made maps of the Earth. However, they did not know very much about the world outside of Europ
20、e, Asia, and north Africa. Mapmakers could not draw accurate maps of the Earth until people began traveling around the world in the fifteenth century, mapping small areas each time. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, people began making correct maps of countries, but the first accurate maps
