Researchers have uncovered a village that may have been home to the builders of Stonehenge (巨石阵), the mysterious circular stone monument in England. The village of small houses dates back to about 2600 BC. That's about the same time Stonehenge was built.
“Clearly, this is a place that was of enormous importance，”said researcher Mike Parker Pearson.
The ancient houses are at a site known as Durrington Walls, about two miles from Stonehenge. Researchers believe Stonehenge was a memorial site or cemetery for the villagers. The village also had a wooden version of the stone circle. It may have been used by people attending festivals at Stonehenge.
Eight of the houses have been excavated or dug up. Researchers say there may be as many as 25 of them. The wooden houses were square and about 14 feet long each side. There are signs of bed frames along the walls and of a dresser or storage unit. The houses also had fireplaces.
Two of the houses were separate from the others and may have been the homes of community leaders. Researchers say those sites didn't have the debris (残骸) and household trash that was found in the other homes. Stone tools，animal bones, arrowheads and other artifacts were found throughout the village site.

When I was ten, I came over to my cousin's house, and that was pain because he lived in New York and I lived in Miami. So I came over every summer break by myself, of course I had my parents' permission to go that far.
One day, we decided to head to the forest. I was looking forward to this trip because I knew that my cousin was an expert on tree climbing while I was not. So, as we walked closer and closer to the forest, I became jealous because I did not possess the ability to climb trees. When he started climbing a tree I was upset but I joined him hoping not to break my neck. Last summer break he invited me to his house. I was afraid of climbing to the tree so I gave up. But this time I tried climbing the tree. While I was climbing I was so scared like I was about to die at any moment. But when I was about to climb on the other branch I lost my balance. Luckily I got hold on one of the bottom branches. My cousin suddenly started climbing down and tried to help me. After he put me on the ground, he ran to get some help.

The Pacific island nation of Nauru used to be a beautiful place. Now it is an ecological disaster area. Nauru's heartbreaking story could have one good consequence — other countries might learn from its mistakes.
For thousands of years, Polynesian people lived on the remote island of Nauru, far from western civilization. The first European to arrive was John Fearn in 1798. He was the British captain of the Hunter, a whaling ship. He called the island Pleasant Island.
However, because it was very remote, Nauru had little communication with Europeans at first. Then whaling ships and other traders began to visit, bringing guns and alcohol. These elements destroyed the social balance of the twelve family groups on the island. A ten year civil war started, which reduced the population from 1,400 to 900.
Nauru's real troubles began in 1899 when a British mining company discovered phosphate (磷酸盐) on the island. In fact, it found that the island of Nauru was nearly all phosphate, which is a very important fertilizer for farming. The company began mining the phosphate.
A phosphate mine is not a hole in the ground; it is a strip mine. What a company strip mines, it removes the top layer of soil. Then it takes away the material it wants. Strip mining totally destroys the land. Gradually, the lovely island of Nauru started to look like the moon.
In 1968, Nauru became one of the richest countries in the world. Every year the government received millions and millions of dollars for its phosphate.
Unfortunately, the leaders invested the money unwisely and lost millions of dollars. In addition, they used millions more dollars for personal expenses. Some people realized that they had a terrible problem — their phosphate was running out. Ninety percent of their island was destroyed and they had nothing. By 2000, Nauru was almost financially ruined. Experts say that it would take approximately $433,600,000 and more than 20 years to repair the island. This will probably never happen.
8．What might be the author's purpose in writing the text
A．To seek help for Nauru's problems.
B．To give a warning to other countries.
C．To show the importance of money.
D．To tell a heartbreaking story of a war.
9．What was Nauru like before the Europeans came
A．Rich and powerful.
B．Modern and open.
C．Peaceful and attractive.
D．Greedy and aggressive.
10．What can we learn about Nauru from the last paragraph
A．The ecological damage is difficult to repair.
B．The leaders will take the experts' words seriously.
C．The island was abandoned by the Nauruans.
D．The phosphate mines were destroyed.

Why do parents have such a difficult time to communicate openly and honestly with their teens For this, there are many reasons but most of them stem from not being able to properly understand their teens. It is a dangerous gap because parents will have to communicate with their teens about a wide variety of issues during the most important years of their lives. Thus, parents must know how to communicate openly and honestly with their teens.
Here are a few tips to make communication easier between parents and teenagers.
As parents, you should listen to what children said carefully and pay much attention to it. Make them feel as if their views really matter, which not only helps your discussions with your teen but brings you closer to him. Meanwhile, try to remember some of the negative feelings you experienced as a teenager and apply it to your teen's situation. Never make negative remarks to your teen about what she has said or done. Remember how much courage it would have taken for your teen to come and talk to you about his personal issues. So listen respectfully. If your teen is unusually angry, it may be time to spend a bit of quality time with your teen to determine what is wrong and where it is coming from.
It is, therefore, necessary for parents to strive to keep lines of communication open at all times with their teens. Try to remember what it was like to be a teenager and how vulnerable (脆弱的) you felt. Then you will be well on your way to helping your teen communicate more openly and honestly.

14．选G G项中的This指代上文为朋友所做的事，而them指代朋友。且上文“Offer to take your friend ... the words ‘I'm sorry’．”与G项在语意上形成关联，即这种做法能表明你愿意在弥补友谊裂痕这件事上做出努力。
15．选D 上文“you can accept the apology”与D项及下文“You can thank them ... make up for it”形成转折关系，即面对道歉，可以接受；但有想法时也要诚实表达。

Why do parents have such a difficult time to communicate openly and honestly with their teens For this, there are many reasons but most of them stem from not being able to properly understand their teens. It is a dangerous gap because parents will have to communicate with their teens about a wide variety of issues during the most important years of their lives. Thus, parents must know how to communicate openly and honestly with their teens.
Here are a few tips to make communication easier between parents and teenagers.
As parents, you should listen to what children said carefully and pay much attention to it. Make them feel as if their views really matter, which not only helps your discussions with your teen but brings you closer to him. Meanwhile, try to remember some of the negative feelings you experienced as a teenager and apply it to your teen's situation. Never make negative remarks to your teen about what she has said or done. Remember how much courage it would have taken for your teen to come and talk to you about his personal issues. So listen respectfully. If your teen is unusually angry, it may be time to spend a bit of quality time with your teen to determine what is wrong and where it is coming from.
It is, therefore, necessary for parents to strive to keep lines of communication open at all times with their teens. Try to remember what it was like to be a teenager and how vulnerable (脆弱的) you felt. Then you will be well on your way to helping your teen communicate more openly and honestly.
