Most scientists agree the Great Sphinx of (吉萨狮身人面像)was built around 2,500 B.C. But John Anthony West says that it’s much older . If he’s right , everything anybody has learned about ancient civilizations (文明)would have to be completely revised .
West , a writer and film-maker , first got interested in ancient history after studying the work of a French researcher . The researcher said Egytptian civilization could have develop as early as 30,000 years ago , rather than 4,500 years old , as most experts believe .
West joined a scientist to do research together . Their research suggested that the Sphinx had been worn down (磨损)over the years by water , rather than by sand and wind .
Wait a minute Water How could that be The Sphinx is in the Sahara Desert , which has been dry for 12,000 years ! However , before that time , it was very green . If it’s true that water wore down the Sphinx . West thinks that it must have been built centuries earlier .
Whether West is right or wrong , it’s important to challenge accepted ideas . That’s how science progresses .
West gave some advice for kids -If you are interested in a topic , read everything you can on it . Do your own research . Don’t always believe everything your teachers tell you Ask lots of questions , and find your own answers .

When I was in college , a white cat liked to show up on our camps at times . It was clear that he was a stray (流浪的)cat because he looked thin and weak . Students would play with him after class and feed him all kinds of food . The school didn’t say anything about the cat for a long time .
But one day , we were told that one of the students had an infectious (传染性的)disease and that the cat was possibly the source (起源). After that , we were not allowed to touch any stray animals on campus . The school started to make efforts to keep animals off campus as well .
Since we were not allowed to feed the white cat , it was hard for him to find food on the street . He became weak and skinny . But while the rest of us ignored (忽视)the cat , a security guard at our school decided to take on the responsibility of caring for him. He took the cat to an animal hospital for a health check . He then went to a nearby supermarket and bought food for the cat , as well as a small bed for him to sleep in . He made sure the cat was healthy and comfortable .
It might seem like a small effort to some people . But this man risked his job -his only source of income (收入)-just to feed a tiny cat who no one else cared for . It was a very heartwarming thing to see .
