Bermuda Triangle 百慕大三角洲
所谓百慕大三角，即指北起百慕大，西到美国佛罗里达洲的迈阿密，南至波多黎各的一个三角形海域。在这片面积达400000平方英里的海面上，从1945年开始数以百计的飞机和船只，在这里神秘地失踪。当然，这些失踪事件不包括那些因机械故障、政治绑架和海匪打劫等原因造成的失踪，因为这些本不属于那种神秘失踪的范畴。
Statues of Easter Island
Easter Island is in the southern Pacific Ocean, 2,300 miles west of the coast. It is only 15 miles long and 10 miles wide. It is covered with hundreds of giant statues, each weighing several tons and some standing more than 30 feet tall. It has even been suggested that space aliens may have played a role regarding these giant statues.
1. Stonehenge, a rock circle, is not only one of Britain’s most famous historical places but also one of its greatest mysteries.
Language Points
1)同位语：当两个指同一事物的句子成分放在同等位置时，一个句子成分可用来解释或说明另一个句子成分，起解释或说明作用的成分就是被解释或被说明成分的同位语。这两个句子成分多由名词、名词词组充当。同位语通常放在其所解释或说明的名词或代词之后。
We have two children, a boy and a girl. (a boy and a girl作two children的同位语）
They all wanted to see him.他们都想见他。(all作They的同位语）
同位语
（1）circle在此处作可数名词，意为“圆圈”。
The teacher drew a circle by hand.
（2）circle还可作及物动词，意为“圈出”。
Please circle the words that you don’t understand.
2) circle n. 圆圈 v. 圈出
3)not only … but also 不仅……而且,连接两个并列成分,其中also可以省略。在运用时要遵循以下原则：
①就近原则。谓语动词在人称和数上要与but also的主语保持一致。
e.g. Not only he but also I am interested in pop music.
②倒装原则：not only置于句首，表示强调，其引导的句子要用部分倒装，即把谓语动词的一部分(如情态动词、助动词等)放在主语的前面，而but also后的句子用正常语序。
e.g. Not only do I feel good about helping people, but also I get to
spend time doing what I love to do.
2. People like to go to this place especially in June as they want to see the sun rising on the longest day of the year.
as引导的原因状语从句，as作连词，意为“由于；因为”
because 因为 从属连词，语气最强，用以引出直接的、具体的原因，常用来回答由why提出的问题。
since 因为；既然 从属连词，语气比because弱，侧重主句，常用于句首。从句表示推断的理由或原因已为人们所知。
as 由于；因为 从属连词，语气比since弱，主从并重，从句说明原因，主句说明结果。
for 因为；由于 并列连词，不用于句首。其前一般用逗号与前面的分句隔开，用以补充说明原因。
purpose作名词，目的；目标
常用短语：the purpose of ... “……的目的”；
on purpose“有意地；故意（反义短语为by accident）
for the purpose of ... 为了……
The purpose of the writer is to tell the readers to value what they have now.
I’m sorry, sir. I didn’t do that on purpose just now.
3. Other people believe the stones have a medical purpose.
