No More Mystery in the Neighborhood
Last week, in a quiet neighborhood, something strange happened. Residents heard noises in the night but no one knew why. Victor Smith thought that it was teenagers having fun while Mrs. Smith and their neighbor, Helen Jones, blamed it on animals.
We now know what was happening in the neighborhood. A ranger's station was being built in the nearby forest. Trees had to be cut down to make space for the station. This affected some animals living in the forest. A raccoon family lost their home and had problems finding food. The raccoons discovered food in the neighborhood’s garbage bins, so they came back every night.
Now the mystery is solved. People in the neighborhood feel sorry for the raccoons and they are trying to help them.

Stonehenge — Can Anyone Explain Why It Is There
Stonehenge, a rock circle, is not only one of Britain’s
n. 圆圈
most famous historical places but also one of its greatest mysteries. Every year it receives more than 750,000
visitors. 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.
大不列颠
n. 奥秘, 神秘事物
v. 接受, 收到
For many years, historians believed Stonehenge was a temple where ancient leaders tried to communicate with
the gods. However, historian Paul Stoker thinks this can’t be true because Stonehenge was built so many centuries ago. “The leaders arrived in England much later,” he points out.
n. 历史学家, 历史工作者
n. 领导, 领袖
Another popular idea is that Stonehenge might be a kind of calendar. The large stones were put together in a certain way. On midsummer’s morning, the sun shines directly into the
center of the stones. Other people believe the stones have a medical purpose. They think the stones can prevent illness and
keep people healthy. “As you walk there, you can feel the energy from your feet move up your body,” said one visitor.
n. 目的, 目标
n. 仲夏
adj. 医疗的
v. 阻止, 阻挠
n. 力量
No one is sure what Stonehenge was used for, but most agree that the position of the stones must be for a special
purpose. Some think it might be a burial place or a place to
honor ancestors. Others think it was built to celebrate a
victory over an enemy.
v. 表示敬意
n. 敌人, 仇人
n. 位置, 地方
n. 埋葬, 安葬
n. 祖宗, 祖先
n. 胜利, 成功
Stonehenge was built slowly over a long period of time. Most historians believe it must be almost 5,000 years old. One of the greatest mysteries is how it was built because the stones are so big and heavy. In 2001, a group of English volunteers tried to build another Stonehenge, but they couldn’t . “We don’t really know who built Stonehenge,” says Paul Stoker. “And perhaps we might never know, but we do know they must have been hard-working– and great planners!”
