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.
Stonehenge--Can Anyone Explain Why It Is There
For many years, historians believed
n. 历史学家；历史工作者
Stonehenge was a temple where ancient
leaders tried to communicate with the gods.
n. 领导；领袖
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.
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
n. 仲夏
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
adj. 医疗的 n. 目的；目标
prevent illness and keep people healthy. “As you
v. 阻止；阻挠
walk there, you can feel the energy from your feet
n. 力量
move up your body,” said one visitor.
No one is sure what Stonehenge was used for, but most agree that the position of the stones
n. 位置；地方
must be for a special purpose. Some think it might be a burial place or a place to honor
n. 埋葬；安葬 v. 表示敬意
ancestors. Others think it was built to
n. 祖宗；祖先
celebrate a victory over an enemy.
n. 胜利；成功 n. 敌人；仇人
Stonehenge was built slowly over a long period of
n. 时期
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!”
adj. 工作努力的
