9、he gravitational pull of the Sun and the MoonThe ocean surface lifts，or bulges(凸出)，in two places：on the side of Earth that faces the Moon and on the side of Earth that faces away from the MoonBoth bulges cause a high tide on nearby shorelinesAt the same time that the high tides occur，low tides occur

10、 between the two bulgesTides are also affected by the pull of the Sun，although the effect of the Sun is not as great as the effect of the MoonWhen the Moon and Sun are lined up with Earth，the combined pull is the strongest，causing the highest high tides and the lowest low tidesThese very high and ve

The result, which was published in 1913, is one of the most famous and influential works in mo

16、dern poetry.This poem is one of the monuments (纪念物) of the 20th-century artistic movement known as “Imagism”.
