It is five o'clock. What was the time 7 hours ago? The situation corresponds to (符合) the subtraction (减去) problem 5-7=? In clock 12.
One way to answer the problem is to count the hours on an ordinary clock, but this time, count counterclockwise (逆时针). If the time is five o'clock now, then seven hours ago it was 10 o'clock. Thus, 5-7=10 in clock 12. How can you check result?
In ordinary subtraction, you can check your answer by setting up the related addition (加法) problem. For example, to check 20-13=7, ask “Is seven the number that must be added to 13 to produce 20”?
20-13=7 can be changed into20=7+13.
To check 5-20=-15, ask“Is 5=20-15 true?” This method may be used to check a subtraction problem in clock 12.If 5-7=10 is true.
Then 5=7+10 has to be true. Indeed, 5 is equal to 7+10 in clack 12.Thus, 5-7=10 in clock. So we can know.
In clock arithmetic, as well as in ordinary arithmetic.
a-b=c means a=b+c
1.If it is 8 o'clock, now, what was the time 9 hours ago?

In the 1940s, Pinehaven Park was one of Crafton City's loveliest recreation(娱乐)areas. Over 40 acres of woods and fields were open to the public. In the 1950s, part of the park was taken over by Crafton City's garbage. Fifteen acres were to be used for landfill disposal(理置). As time went on, more and more of the park was used for garage disposal and less for recreation. Two years ago, the park was closed to the public for good. Along with household garbage, industrial chemicals had for years been dumped (倾倒)in the Pinehaven landfill. These poisonous chemicals had begun to seep(渗)back up through the soil. All of Pinehaven Park had become dangerously polluted.
Last year, the fish in the Crafton River began to die. After a series of investigations(研究), it became clear that the people of Crafton City were not to blame. 100~150 miles upstream, big paper mills were dumping industrial wastes into the river. Little by little, the level of poison in the river began to rise. Finally, it became so polluted that the fish themselves could no longer survive.
Downtown Crafton used to be a quiet area. Ten years of remarkable growth changed that in a big hurry. But with Crafton City's new prosperity(繁荣)came a new problem: air pollution. And it is a serious problem. Air pollution levels in Crafton are regularly reaching those of the nation's large industrial cities.
