______there is a will, there is a way. 有志者事竟成。 Put it ______we can all see it. 把它放在我们都看得见的地方。 Wherewhere(2) 条件状语从句。通常由连词if, unless (除非),in case (万一,如果),as so long as (只要),supposing supposed (假设),provided providing (that) (假如),on condition that (如果),given that(假设)等以及only if 和if only等引导。如:I won’t go to the party unless I’m invited.
除非我被邀请, 否则我不会去参加晚会的。
In case you need something, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
如果你需要什么东西, 请不客气地对我说。(3) 让步状语从句。引导让步状语从句的连词较多, 常见的有:
① 由even if even though引导, 意为“即使”。如:
He will come on time even though it rains. 即使下雨,他还是会准时来的。
Even though you do not like it, you must do it. 即使你不喜欢这工作,你也得做。② how what who which…+ ever = no matter how what who which…引导,意为“无论……”。如:
He can answer the question however hard it is. 不管问题有多难他都能回答。
No matter what Whatever you may do, do it well. 不论你做什么, 好好地做。
Whichever side wins, I shall be satisfied. 不论哪一边胜, 我都高兴。③ 由though although while as引导,意为“虽然,尽管”。如:
Though they may not succeed, they will still try. 即使他们可能不会成功,但他们仍努力尝试。Although my uncle is old, he looks very strong and healthy. 我的叔叔虽然老了, 但他看上去还是很健壮。
While I like the color of the hat, I do not like its shape. 我虽然喜欢这顶帽子的颜色, 但却不喜欢它的样式。④ whether… or… 引导的让步状语从句,意为“不管;无论”。如:
I shall go, whether you come with me or stay at home. 不论你来还是留在家中, 我都要去。
Whether we help him or not, he will fail. 不论我们帮助他与否, 他都将失败。【特别提醒】 学习或复习状语从句应注意以下问题:① as though引导的让步状语从句要用倒装语序。如:
Young as he is, he works hard.
他虽年轻但努力工作。Teacher as he is, he is nor capable of teaching all subjects.
虽然他是老师, 但是不能教所有的科目。
Much as I like it, I don’t want to buy it.

名词(前无冠词) 系动词
分词 + 表让步:as(或though) +主语+ 情态动词
动词 助动词
副词 谓语动词Strange though it may seem, the tallest boy is the youngest.
=Although it may seem strange, the tallest boy is the youngest.② 在if, unless等引导的条件状语从句和某些让步状语从句中用一般现在时表将来。如:
If weather permit, we will go to the park tomorrow. 如果天气好的话,明天我们去公园。

S: UNESCO stands for United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.
T: Good. UNESCO is an agency of the United Nations that promotes education and communication and the arts. Since its foundation in 1946, it has done a great many things including the protection of the world cultural heritage. In July 2004, the 28th Session of the World Heritage Committee was held in Suzhou, China. The main themes of which were the importance of world heritage protection and the relationship between world heritage and youth. Now let’s begin with one of the world cultural heritage and the venue of the conference Suzhou. Before that, we’ll learn some words and expressions related to the topic.
Step II Discussion
Help the students learn the items in Activity 2 and 3. First ask the students to make sure they understand each word or expression and then discuss the questions.
T: Cultural heritage is an expression of the ways of living developed by a community and passed on from generation to generation, including customs, practices, places, objects, artistic expressions and values. Look at the words in the box in Activity 2 and discuss the questions below the box with your deskmate. First, which of the items in the list are parts of a country’s cultural heritage?
Discuss the questions with the students.
T: The first item, beliefs. Often we can't say where we got a certain belief from. Much of what we believe isn’t a result of scientific reasoning or experience but rather from some idea lying about in our minds. Even this doesn't account for some notions of the world which most people seem to hold. Do you think “beliefs” are part of a country’s cultural heritage?
S1: I don’t think beliefs are part of a country’s cultural heritage.
S2: I agree. Beliefs are forms of judging something to be true. To believe something is to express one’s assessment of uncertainty of something.
T: What about “buildings”?
S3: Buildings refer to any enclosed, long-lasting structures for the purpose of sheltering animals, goods or people. Most ancient buildings such as the pyramids, the Great Wall, etc are part of a country’s cultural heritage.
S4: Including some modern buildings, such as Bird Next Architecture built for 2008 Olympic in Beijing, would become part of cultural heritage in the future.
T: And what about “museums”?
S5: Museums are buildings or rooms in which antiques or other objects of historical or scientific interest are collected and exhibited. They are certainly part of a country’s cultural heritage.
S6: Quite true. Examples like the Palace Museums of China, the Royal Museum in Britain, etc.
T: Good. Paintings are made with paint on a surface. Poems are works in meter or free verse employing figurative language. They are both arts. Do you think they are part of a country’s cultural heritage?
S7: According to the definition of cultural heritage, they are certainly part of a country’s cultural heritage.
T: But do you think the following two items, “pop stars” and “sports teams” are part of a country’s cultural heritage? Why?
S8: No. Pop stars are those who are popular with audiences especially youngsters by singing popular songs or playing popular music. Sports teams are groups of players forming one side in certain sports. They are not practices handed down from the past by tradition.
T: Well, what about the last one “traditions”?
S9: Traditions are stories or customs that are memorized and passed down from generation to generation. They are part of a country’s cultural heritage.
T: Great. Among these which do you think are the most important items? Why?
S10: I think “buildings” are the most important because they can be seen or touched, and people can learn directly from them.
S11: I think “traditions” are the most important because they are passing down beliefs, legends, customs etc. usually to each generation. They are of great value.

Step III Reading
Talk about Suzhou with the students.
T: It has become the common responsibility of all mankind to preserve the natural and cultural wealth created by our ancestors. Moreover, people are becoming more aware of the importance of looking after these priceless treasures so that we can hand them down to later generations. Over the past few decades, people throughout the world have made efforts to various degrees to preserve their cultural and natural heritages.

Ask the students to show their work.
T: In the last period, we mainly learned about a famous city — Suzhou, also one of the world’s cultural heritage. And you were asked to write a short passage introducing the city. Now who'd like to show your work to us?
A sample version:
Suzhou, a city in eastern China’s Jiangsu Province, is considered as beautiful as the paradise. A major tourist city, it features classic gardens and elegant natural scenery.
Location: It is situated by the Taihu Lake in the southern part of Jiangsu Province, in the Yangtze River Delta. With Shanghai to its east and Zhejiang Province to its south, Suzhou has a well-developed communication network and can be easily reached from all parts of China.
Geographic Features: Of the 8,488 square kilometers of territory under the city’s jurisdiction, about 10 percent is cultivated farmland; 30 percent is hilly land, and the rest is covered by waters or low terrains. Its average altitude is 4 meters above sea level. The city is famed as the Oriental Venice because it is a water city with numerous rivers, lakes and canals, such as the Yangtze River, Yangcheng Lake, Chenghu Lake and the Grand Canal. Major hills in the area include Lingyan, Tianping, Tiger (Huqiu) and Yushan.
Population: It has a population of 5.71 million, including the various ethnic groups of Han, Hui, and Manchu, 1.05 million of the people living in urban areas.
History: It was established as a settlement in 514 B.C., known as Gusu; in 581 during the Sui Dynasty, it was renamed Suzhou.
Climate: On the north edge of the subtropical zone, Suzhou has monsoon maritime climate, with mildly cold winter and humid summer. Its annual average temperature is 15.7°C.
Local Highlights: Besides classic gardens, Suzhou is also famous for Kunqu Opera and Pingtan (ballad-singing in Suzhou dialect). Among the local products, there are silk; handicrafts such as embroidery, fans, traditional Chinese musical instruments, lanterns, furniture, jade carving, silk tapestry, traditional painting pigments, New Year pictures of wood-block prints, etc; and big-gate crabs from Yangcheng Lake.
T: As a world-renowned country with an ancient civilization, China boasts a wealth of cultural relics and historical sites, such as the ten thousand-li Great Wall, the Imperial Palace in Beijing, the Dunhuang Grottoes, and the Potala Palace in Lhasa. Last period, you were asked to prepare a talk about your region's cultural heritage. Now who'd like to give a talk to us?
A sample talk:
Shanxi is one of the birth places of Chinese civilizations with a long history and traditional culture. as early as one hundred million years ago, the ancesotrs of the Chinese lived in this region. Legend tells us that the Yellow Emperor, founder of the Chinese nation, once lived in Shanxi for a certain period. Today, many Neolithic sites from that period can still be seen across the province.
Most of the ancient structures in Shanxi were built before the Liao and Song Dynasties. so it is the reason why Shanxi is often called the “Chinese Ancient Architecture Museum”, including the Buddhist wonder of the Yungang Grottoes in Datong City, the ancient city of Pingyao which was listed as a World Cultural Heritage site by UNESCO IN 1997, the oldest and tallest ancient wooden pagoda in China, the Wooden Pagoda of Yingxian County and the remote Shuanglin and Jinci Temples, which are well worth the protection. Of course, there are a number of natural magnificent and beautiful places that can also be seen in Shanxi. The most famous of them include Wutai Mountain with the longest and most prestigious history in the four most well-known Buddhist holy lands of China, the whistling rage of the Yellow River’s Kettle Spout waterfalls (Hukou Waterfalls) and one of the Five Sacred Mountains in China — Mt Hengshan.
T: Excellent. Today we are going to learn about another Chinese Cultural Heritage — Zhoukoudian caves.
Step II Reading
Skimming
Ask the students to read the passage and do Activities 1 and 2.
T: In December 1929, a Chinese paleanthropologist named Pei Wenzhong discovered a complete skull of “Peking Man” on Dragon Bone Hill northwest of Zhoukoudian, in the southwest suburbs of Beijing. Later, archaeologists unearthed 40-odd individually fossilized skeletons of “Peking Man”, male, female, old and young, all at the same site. Zhoukoudian, therefore, became the most common site for human remains with the most abundant fossils in the world from the same period. The discovery pushed the history of Beijing’s civilization back to some 600,000 years. These fossilized remains prove that “Peking Man” was primitive man in an evolutionary process from ancient ape to modern man, and is the ancestor of the Chinese nation. Now please read the first part of the article and try to finish Activity 1.
After a few minutes, ask some students to answer the questions orally.

However, if nothing is done to maintain the site, it may be taken off the list. The Chinese Academy of Science is attempting to raise awareness of the damage, in the hope that the general public will lend a hand to protect the site. Now please read the second part of the article and try to finish Activity 2.
After a few minutes.
T: Today, Zhoukoudian is in serious danger. It is under destruction. What are the two natural causes of the destruction of the caves?
S1: Rain and exposure to the air.
T: What is the origin of pollution that is affecting the caves?
S2: The origin of pollution is from nearby cement factories.

5. He ordered that the students wash the clothes every week by themselves.
Ask the students to read the above sentences repeatedly, and then do Activity 3 on page 75.
Practice: Exercises 1-2 on page 121.
Step III Grammar (2): Adverbial clauses of place, condition and concession
Ask the students to do Activity 1 on page 77.
T: Adverbial clauses are dependent clauses used to modify verbs, adjectives, adverbs, or entire phrases or clauses. They are introduced by subordinating conjunctions. As introductory elements, they may begin a sentence; they may also be placed in the middle or at the end of a sentence. Now please look at the sentences on page 77 and choose the correct answers.
Check the answers with the students and then make some explanations about the adverbial clauses of place, condition and concession.
Explanation:
1. Adverbial clauses of condition
(1) If If clauses express the conditions necessary for the result. If clauses are followed by expected results based on the condition.
If we win, we'll go to Kelly's to celebrate!
She would buy a house, if she had enough money.
(2) Even if Sentences with 'even if' show a result that is unexpected based on the condition in the ‘even if’ clause.
Even if she saves a lot, she won’t be able to afford that house.
Even if she studies hard, she won’t pass the exam.
Even if I had time, I wouldn't do it.
* Note: even if and even though
Even though means despite the fact that and is a more emphatic version of though and although.
Even if means whether or not and has to do with the conditions that may apply.
Compare:
1. Even if I had two hours to spare for shopping, I wouldn’t go out and buy a suit.
2. Even though I had two hours to spare for shopping, I couldn't find the suit I wanted.
The first example describes an unreal situation where we could substitute ‘just supposing’ for even if and say: just supposing I had two hours to spare for shopping, I still wouldn’t go out and buy a suit.
The second example describes a real situation where the shopper spent two hours looking for a particular kind of suit, but couldn't find it. When we attach even to though in this way, we are in effect saying: you may find this surprising but ...!
More examples:
Even though he lost his job as Arts Minister, he continued to serve in the government.
Even if he loses his job as Arts Minister, I think he'll continue to serve in the government.
Even though the injury was serious, she decided to carry on playing. It was an important match.
I know she'll want to carry on playing, even if she gets injured. It's an important match.
Even though I've cleaned it and polished it, it still doesn't look new.
Even if I clean and polish it, it still won't look new.
(3) “In case” usually means that you don't expect something to happen. We use “in case” to talk about taking precautions, doing something because something else might happen:
During the drought, keep the bath filled with water — just in case it is needed.
I've bought some candles in case there are more electricity cuts.
In case I forget, remind me to check the tire pressure before we load up the car.
(4) “as long as” means if and only if. “So long as” is also possible in this context.
I don't mind. You can leave early, as long as you finish the work.
I don't mind. You can go home early, so long as you finish the work.
2. Adverbial clauses of concession
T: This type of clauses show an unexpected or non self-evident result based on the dependent clause. We often use even though, though, although to introduce the clause.
Even though it was expensive, he bought the car.
Though he loves doughnuts, he has given them up for his diet.
Although he course was difficult, he passed with the highest marks.
3. Adverbial clauses of place
T: This type of clauses is introduced by where and wherever. For example,
 Where I live there are plenty of trees.
 Wherever I am I will be thinking of you.
Ask the students to finish Activity 2 on page 77 and Activity 3 on page 121.

It has been called an astronomical observatory for marking significant events on the prehistoric calendar. Others claim that it was a sacred site for the burial of high-ranking citizens from the societies of long ago.
T: What did the astronomers do?
G: They clocked the time and predicted the seasons.
T: Where did all these stones come from?
G: Some of the stones were brought from a long way away. The stones used in that first circle are believed to be from the Prescelly Mountains, located roughly 240 miles away, at the southwestern tip of Wales. The bluestones weigh up to 4 tons each and about 80 stones were used in all.
T: What about those stones over there?
G: Many of the original stones have fallen or been removed by previous generations for home construction or road repair. There has been serious damage to some of the smaller bluestones resulting from close visitor contact (prohibited since 1978) and the prehistoric carvings on the larger sarsen stones show signs of significant wear.
T: The construction of Stonehenge was really amazing!www.21-cn-jy.com
Step IV Speaking
Ask the students to read the words for hello and guess which languages they are.
Sample answers:
hello — English
Bonjour — French
Buenos Dias — Spanish
Guten Tag — German
Buon Giorno — Italian
Aloha — Hawaiian
God dag — Danish
Merhaba — Ethopia
Bom dia — Guinea-Bissau
Buon giorno — Italian
Salamat Pagi — Indonesia
Bore Da — Welsh
Szia —
Ask the students to read the information and discuss the questions in Activities 2 and 3 in pairs.
T: An endangered language is a language headed for extinction. It is a language without monolingual speakers, people who speak only that language. It is a language spoken by a minority of people in the nation and for that reason is held in low esteem, causing its speakers to avoid using it or passing it on to their children. Many languages today have only one remaining speaker, an older person who will take that language with him or her to the grave. The situation is serious. Now read the information about disappearing languages and discuss the questions in Activities 2 and 3 in pairs.
Sample answers to the questions in Activity 2:
1. Languages are disappearing at a fast rate because there is one in every two weeks disappearing permanently. 21cnjy.com
2. 6,00 languages appear on the Internet.
3. Not all languages are written down.
4. Papua New Guinea has the most languages.
Sample answers to the questions in Activity 3:
1. Because most of the languages can not be used widely.
2. Yes. Because language is the most efficient means of transmitting a culture, and it is the owners of that culture that lose the most when a language dies. While a community may not lose its sense of identity when it loses its language, identity is closely associated with language. All peoples identify their culture as closely with their languages as with their religion. What we talk about, think, and believe is closely bound up with the words we have, so the history of a culture can be mapped in its language.
3. It can be done by supporting the use of endangered languages in all contexts: at home, in education, in the media, and in social, cultural and economic life; by raising awareness of endangered languages through all channels and media, etc.
4. Yes. If parents are no longer teaching the language to their children and are not using it actively in everyday matters, it will soon disappear.
5. Yes. Besides doing something to prevent the language from dying, to learn a language which is spoken by very few people can also help recognize people's identity and culture and help research how the human mind works.
Step V Speaking and writing
Ask the students to discuss the statements and the questions on page 126.
T: No one knows exactly how many languages exist in the world today but best estimates place the figure around 6800. Roughly 1,000 are spoken in the Americas (15%), 2,400 in Africa (35%), 200 in Europe (3%), 2,000 in Asia (28%) and, perhaps, 1,200 in the Pacific (19%). Keep in mind that only about a quarter of the languages and few dialects have writing systems and not all languages have even been “discovered” by Western linguistics. Most linguists, however, agree that half of the world’s languages are endangered; many fear that 90% will disappear by the end of this century. The important points to keep in mind are these: (1) large numbers of languages, probably the majority, are in danger of extinction and (2) many more have not yet been described in grammars and dictionaries. Now work in pairs and discuss the statements and the questions that follow.
A sample dialogue:
S1: There are about 6,000 or more languages in the world, but about half of them are disappearing or has disappeared. Just as the statement goes “There are 51 endangered languages today, with only one speaker.” Why do you think some languages die out?
S2: I think it’s because they are not useful in the society, an endangered language is not passed on by parents to their children. Speaking the majority language better equips children for success in the majority culture than speaking a less prestigious language. Some governments actively discourage minority language use. For example, it was illegal to speak Macedonian or sing Macedonian songs in Greece.
S1: One of the reasons is wars. Some of the minorities and their languages could be both killed in the war.
S2: Do you agree with the statement “We need to try to keep ‘dying’ languages alive” or disagree? Why or why not?
S1: Language is the most efficient means of transmitting a culture, and it is the owners of that culture that lose the most when a language dies. Every culture has adapted to unique environment, and the language expresses that environment. And identity is closely related to language. All peoples identify their culture as closely with their languages as with their religion. What we talk about, think, and believe is closely bound up with the words we have, so the history of a culture can be mapped in its language. So I agree with the statement.
S1: You are right. The loss of languages that we face today will greatly restrict how much we can learn about human cognition, language, and language acquisition at a time when the achievements in these areas have been greater than ever before.
Ask the students to read the information and the notes in the table and compare their ideas and then write a report about minority languages.
A sample report:
A minority language is a language that — considering the world at large — (1) spoken by a relatively small number of people, and (2) not the main or official language of a nation state. It is estimated that every week, the last speaker of some small language in the world dies. The language, of course, with its culture and history dies with the speaker. Historically, languages have died out due to invasion and conquest and, more recently, extreme social and economic pressure from larger, overbearing languages and cultures.
In order to survive, these languages need to (1) find new words to describe new technology and keep changing; (2) be used by younger people and the government; (3) appear in the media, music, computer games and on TV; (4) be written down.
As we know, language is the most efficient means of transmitting a culture and it is the owners of that culture that lose the most when a language dies. Every culture has adapted to unique environment, and the language expresses that environment.
And identity is closely related to language. All peoples identify their culture as closely with their languages as with their religion. What we talk about, think, and believe is closely bound up with the words we have, so the history of a culture can be mapped in its language. So languages like Nushu should be kept alive.
In my view the best thing that can be done is to give training to native speakers of the minority languages, since native speakers tend to do the best job of description, and being members of the culture themselves, are less likely to have ulterior motives. They will also be able to carry out long term work.
Step VI Homework
1. Ask the students to listen to the recording and do the exercises in Listening and speaking on page 125 in the workbook.
2. Ask the students to write a short passage according to the following information.
Many of the world’s languages and culture are dying out. Give possible reasons and your recommendations.

Step I Revision
Ask some students to show their work to the class.
T: Last period, you were asked to write a short passage about how to protect the endangered languages. Have you finished? Who'd like to show your writing?
A sample version:
Nowadays, international communication has become more and more important, people prefer to communicate in languages, such as English, Arabic and Chinese. But many of the world’s languages and culture are dying out. In this essay we will examine the problem of languages and culture dying and the solutions, such as writing books and increasing language population levels.
Firstly, as the technology improves, people around the world are relying more and more on electronic devices to communicate with each other. While this trend is helping the major culture, it is having a harmful effect on the minor culture that could be swallowed up by the major culture.
Secondly, some of the world’s languages are not being learned widely by children or used in daily commerce. In some boarding schools, children were punished for speaking their parent’s language.
Despite the desires of language and culture activists, the outlook is somewhat grim. People already realize this problem exists and are trying to solve it.
For one solution, people can record the culture and languages on books or tapes, making sure our descendants can learn or use them in the future.
The second solution is increasing the language population levels. Governments can make some policies, like encouragement for people to learn and teach the languages facing extinction, no matter whether the language is used in daily commerce or not. By trying to keep them alive, at least they have a future as second languages.
The important thing is to learn the elder’s tongue and culture before it’s too late. Otherwise we will lose them.
Step II Reading and writing
Ask the students to read the passage on page 78 and answer the questions.
T: Heritage is our legacy from the past, what we live with today, and what we pass on to future generations. Our cultural and natural heritage are both irreplaceable sources of life and inspiration. It can be divided into two groups: tangible and intangible. Now please read the passage on page 78 and answer the questions in Activity 1.
After a few minutes, ask some students to answer the questions orally.
Sample answers:
1. Tangible cultural heritage are things one can see and touch. Intangible cultural heritage, which is also called living cultural heritage, are things one cannot see or touch, including oral heritage, living human treasures, endangered languages, traditional music of the world.
2. Examples of oral heritage: the Art of Chinese Xinjiang Uyghur Muqam the Pastoral Song of the Mongolian ethnic group.21教育网
3. Living human treasures are those who have the knowledge and skills required for the cultural traditions of their society.
4. The small number of people and being not taught to new inhabitants of the region make a language endangered. 2·1·c·n·j·y
5. An example of traditional music that is thought to be part of an intangible cultural heritage: Kunqu opera in Kunshan, near Suzhou.
Ask the students to look at the China’s cultural heritage on page 81 and tell from intangible and tangible heritage.
T: Now please look at the list of China's cultural heritage in the box in Activity 1. Tell which items are examples of tangible cultural heritage and which ones are intangible?
Sample answers:
Tangible: the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, Mogao Caves at Dunhuang, the Qin Terracotta, Warriors and Horses, Confucius Temple at Qufu
Intangible: Kunqu Opera, Chen-style Tai Chi, Guqin Musis, Shaolin kung fu
Ask the students to write a short essay about an intangible human heritage that they know about.
T: UNESCO started listing masterpieces of Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity in 1998, with a view to saving, maintaining and protecting endangered and declining cultural heritage. What intangible human heritage do you know? Now look at Activity 2 and think about one of them and try to write a short essay about it.
Sample notes:
(a) Kunqu Opera
(b) Kunqu Opera originated in the Kunshan in east China’s Jiangsu province over 600 years ago.
(c) Kunqu Opera is one of the few masterpieces to be honored as “masterpiece of the oral and intangible heritage of human beings.” After generations of development, it has established a complete system of acting as well as its own distinct tunes, which had significant influence on other traditional Chinese operatic forms, including Beijing Opera. It is therefore dubbed the “mother of traditional Chinese operas.”
A sample essay:
Kunqu Opera
Kunqu Opera, with more than 400 years of history, is known as “the mother of Chinese operas.” Kunqu Opera began its history during the Ming Dynasty, in Kunshan, a place near Suzhou in east Jiangsu Province. It became the most popular opera of the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, a period of dominance which lasted for more than 200 years. As a result, nearly all old traditional forms of opera in China have been influenced by Kunqu Opera. In 2001, it was proclaimed by UNESCO as a Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity. It is our mission to make efforts in inheriting and protecting this tradition, and making it better known to more people.
Step III Reading practice
Ask the students to read the passage on page 81.
T: To honor examples of intangible cultural heritage, UNESCO in 1998 created an international program, the Proclamation of Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity. Till now, 47 forms of art, music and oral tradition have been proclaimed by UNESCO as masterpieces of oral and intangible heritage, including a Chinese form of opera called Kun Qu, and the playing of the guqin. Applying for intangible cultural heritage status has been a goal of the Chinese government for several years. In 2001, the Chinese Commission for UNESCO, a component of China’s Ministry of Education, included traditional Chinese medicine as part of a five-year plan on cultural heritage. Now read the passage on page 81 quickly and find out the answers to the questions in Activity 2.
Sample answers:
1. Traditional Chinese Medicine and the Mid-Autumn Festival will be included in a bid to the UNESCO list.
2. Other examples of China's intangible cultural heritag are: the ancient art of Shaolin Kung fu, the world’s longest epic poem of Tibetan King Gesser, and Chen-style Tai Chi.
Ask the students to read the passage again and finish Activities 3-5. Check the answers with the class.
Then ask the students to work in groups and do Activity 6.

Sample case 1: The Great Wall
The Great Wall of China, also known in China as the Great Wall of 10,000, is an ancient Chinese fortification built from the end of the 14th century until the beginning of the 17th century, during the Ming Dynasty, in order to protect China from raids by the Mongols and Turkic tribes. It was preceded by several walls built since the 3rd century BC against the raids of nomadic tribes coming from areas now in modern day Mongolia and Manchuria. The Wall stretches over a formidable 6,350 km (3,946 miles), from Shanhai Pass on the Bohai Gulf in the east, at the limit between China proper and Manchuria, to Lop Nur in the southeastern portion of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.
The first major wall was built during the reign of the First Emperor, the main emperor of the short-lived Qin dynasty. This wall was not constructed as a single endeavor, but rather was created by the joining of several regional walls built by the Warring Module 6语法

Buon Giorno: ItalianWork in pairs. Read the information about disappearing languages and answer the questions. Are languages disappearing at a fast or a slow rate?
How many languages appear on the Internet? Fast. 600.3. Are all languages written down?
4. Which part of the world has the most languages?No, they aren’t. Papua New Guinea.Number of languages spoken in these 8 countries: Warning - Language Are Dying!Why do you think so many languages are disappearing or are in danger? Work in pairs and discuss the questions. Because the people live isolated from each other, either on separate islands, in distant forests or at great distance.2. Does it matter if languages disappear?Yes, because we are losing precious parts of the world’s human heritage.3. How can people stop a language from dying?By teaching it to the children; by making it valued by the authorities, and then used in schools alongside the main language(s).4. Do you think languages that are not written down are more likely to disappear? Give your reasons. Yes, they are. Because there is no reference point, and so if the elders do not pass the language to the children, when they die, no one knows how they were spoken.5. Is there any reason to learn a language which is spoken by very few people?
Yes. Learning any language introduces the learner to the culture of another group of people, which inevitably enriches their life.1. Review the whole text.

It was a man in a rowboat being attacked by a shark that got Matt Long into his career as a professional sand sculptor.21教育名师原创作品21教育网
Long enjoyed playing in the sand as a boy. But it was when he was older, out for a walk on the beach, that he stumbled upon the lifelike sculpture of the man, boat and shark, and he was attracted.
“I made sand sculptures in my spare time for years before I entered a contest,” Long says. At the contest, Long met a professional sand sculptor who liked his work and asked him to help on a job. “He shared with me all about the world of sand sculpting.”
Since then, Long has created indoor and outdoor sand sculptures of everything from castles and sea animals to buildings and 7-foot-tall cartoon characters.
A sand sculptor must learn about sand quality and how it affects a sculpture. He needs to be able to recognize “clean sand” that is free of stones or shells and has grains (沙粒) that are about the same size. Every sculpture begins with the “pound-up,” which is the important part of making a sand sculpture. Sand is put into wood or plastic frames (框架) called “forms,” then mixed with water and pressed tightly together. The forms are put together to build the height of the sculpture. When the forms are removed, a block of sand is ready for a sculptor to work.
Every sand sculptor wants to avoid a structure falling down. A sculptor will decide how much carving he can do according to the physical limits of the sand. Long says structures falling down is most common at contests when sculptors push the limits in an effort to impress the judges.
Sculptures created at the beach can be left to break down naturally, but projects at other locations need to be broken down, shoveled up (铲起来) and taken away.
“That first shovelful always hurts a bit,” Long says, “but I have gotten used to it.”
56. The underlined phrase “stumbled upon” in Paragraph 2 means _____.
A. built up???????????????????
B. came across
C. looked after?????????????
D. broke down
57. According to the text, Matt Long _____.
A. was once attacked by a shark
B. likes sculpting men and animals
C. entered the contest in order to find a job
D. learned a lot from a professional sand sculptor
58. What do we know about sand sculpting?
A. “Clean sand” contains stones or shells about the same size.21cnjy.com
B. Sculptures created at the beach can usually be kept indoors.
C. “Pound-up” is the preparation of making a sand sculpture.
D. Sculptors carve in sand with wood or plastic frames.
59. What would be the best title for the text?
A. The masterpiece of nature
B. The king of his sand castle

Everyone dreams of seeing the world. But some people take that dream to the extreme.
In 2000, Canadian Jean Béliveau was suffering from a mid-life crisis (危机). He thought a good walk might help. So, he decided to go for one ... around the whole world. It took him 11 years and 54 pairs of shoes. He ate insects in Africa, survived a puma (美洲狮) attack in South America, and fell in love for nine days in Mexico. Jean has successfully overcome his mid-life crisis and is now writing a book about his 75,000-kilometre journey.【出处:21教育名师】
A Russian man, Vladislav Ketov, is currently cycling around the globe. So far he’s ridden through 93 countries. And he’s been at it for 20 years. Why so long? Two reasons. Firstly, he’s not just going through countries, he’s actually riding along the coast of every continent. Secondly, he set off without any money. He has to draw portraits of the people he meets along the way to carry on with his trip. Of course, he is planning to write a book on his eventual return, too.【版权所有:21教育】
Then there’s Ezra Cooley. He set out in 2006 with the idea of riding his horse around the world. Why? “I’ve always wanted to accomplish something,” Ezra said. So far he’s only ridden across the United States and part of Australia. The reason he’s been so slow? He recently took a year off to write a book about his trip.
Circling the globe has a long history. In 1901, Captain Voss (from Canada) set off around the world in a 12-metre dugout canoe (独木舟). Even more impressive, the canoe, which Voss bought from a Native American woman, was built in the early 19th century. He armed the canoe with a Spanish cannon (大炮) for protection. The journey took three years and, of course, Voss wrote about his trip in a book.

The Black Death
A terrible disease swept through Europe in the late 1340s. Called the Black Death, it got its name from the black lumps (肿块) that it caused on a sick person’s skin. The bacteria that cause the disease are spread to humans by fleas (跳蚤) that have bitten infected rats. With all the rats in the crowded towns and cities of Europe, the disease spread fast. Two-thirds of those who caught the disease died. The Italian writer Boccaccio said that the disease spread “like a fire through dry grass”.?
No one knew how to stop this terrible new disease. Most people were afraid even to visit the sick. In just three years, one out of every three people in Europe died. Then, suddenly, around 1351, the disease seemed to disappear. But it returned — in 1363, again in 1369, and on many more occasions for the next three hundred years.
The great flu epidemic (流行病)
As World War I drew to a close, a new threat arose. In March of 1918, hundreds of U.S. soldiers at Fort Riley, Kansas, fell ill with influenza, or flu. About one in nine ill soldiers died. Though many people died, the public did not take notice. The dangers soldiers faced on the front in Europe seemed to go beyond this illness. Soon, soldiers from Fort Riley joined the Allied forces (the countries that fought with Britain, the U.S. etc in World War I) in Europe. Within months, the illness had spread throughout Europe, killing millions of people.
In September, as soldiers began to return home, the illness attacked the U.S. public. People died within hours of falling ill. To stop the spread of the disease, the government limited gatherings and travel. They forbade stores from having sales. They even limited funerals to fifteen minutes. But the flu took the lives of more than a half-million Americans, ten times as many as had died in the war. Worldwide, the epidemic lasted from 1918 to 1920, killing between twenty and forty million people.

Free Entry to Palace of Versailles — Save ?18!
The Palace of Versailles is one of the largest and most splendid (华丽的) castles in the world. Having around 2,143 windows, 1,252 fireplaces, and 67 staircases, the castle is one of the most visited attractions in France.
As a fine example of 18th-century French art, this historic building has been on UNESCO’s World Heritage List for 30 years.
At first it was just a hunting house built by Louis XIII. But Louis XIV chose the site to build the palace we know today, the symbol of royal absolutism (王权专制) and classical French art. The castle lost its standing as the official seat of power in 1789, but got a new role in the 19th century as the Museum of the History of France, which was founded when Louis-Philippe became the king in 1830.
This historic castle with its beautiful architecture and gardens, and long history, is a must-visit sight on a sightseeing trip to Paris.

This afternoon I went to see my grandmother by a bus. It was very crowded and I had to stand. Besides me there was a woman held a little boy in her arms. In front of her, a young man takes two seats, pretending to be sleeping. I heard the boy curious asking his mother, “What’s wrong with the uncle?” I had thought if perhaps the mother would say something unpleasant. Beyond her expectations, the woman answered with a smile, “Be quiet. The uncle must very tired because of hard work.” The young man must have heard the word. His face turned red and then offered one seat for the woman at once.

Dear Tom,
I’m writing to tell you something about Chinese paper-cutting.
As one of the most popular traditional Chinese folk arts, paper-cutting has a history of more than 1,500 years. In China, almost everyone, whether old or young, male or female, is fond of it. With knives or scissors, we can cut paper into different shapes, like birds, animals and flowers. We mainly use paper-cuts to decorate our walls, windows, doors, etc. during festivals and celebrations, and with paper-cuts, we express our good wishes for a happy life. In 2009, Chinese paper-cutting was added to the directory of world intangible cultural heritage by UNESCO.
If you have a chance to come to China, don’t forget to learn paper-cutting.

Texting while driving can be serious. Adding to the peril: texting and driving while asleep at the wheel. A woman in New Zealand managed to drive and even send her friends text messages for hours while asleep, according to a story in the New Zealand Herald. Surprisingly, she did not get into an accident.21cnjy.com
According to News 3 New Zealand, the woman, who suffers from a sleep condition and was taking sleeping pills at the time, drove around New Zealand all night. The sleep-driver left her house in Hamilton, headed to Auckland and then to her former home in Mount Maunganui on the coast late on Tuesday night, driving for a total of five hours and about 190 miles. As she sleep-drove, she texted her friends, who believed she sent them while half asleep, says New Zealand’s News 3.
Police say that although the woman was texting during her drive, she was unaware the entire time and has no memory of the nighttime ride. The police began tracking the woman’s movement through her cellphone after receiving a call from a concerned friend, but weren’t able to find her as she kept driving. “While all this was going on, we were scanning any reports of unusual or concerning driving as we tried to find the Toyota and prevent a possible tragedy (悲剧),” police officer Dave Litton was quoted in the Daily Mail.【来源:21·世纪·教育·网】www.21-cn-jy.com
Police said that the woman’s cousin finally found her in her former house on the coast, asleep. “While her being found safe and well is a relief for everyone involved, the possibility for tragedy was huge and we’re urging people suffering medical conditions to be open and honest with their doctors and seek advice,” Litton told the New Zealand Herald.21·世纪*教育网  21*cnjy*com

April 18 is celebrated as the World Heritage Day across the world. It is aimed at creating awareness about heritage sites and highlighting the need to protect and conserve them.21·cn·jy·com
UNESCO lists 29 sites from India in its heritage list which are considered as having outstanding universal value. Travel.india.com lists four of world heritage sites which should be visited at least once in a lifetime.
Taj Mahal, UP
It was built by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his third wife, Mumtaz Mahal. It also figures among the Seven Wonders of the World. The Taj Mahal is widely recognized as “the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world’s heritage”. As one of the most wonderful buildings, it attracts a large number of visitors every year.
Kaziranga National Park, Assam
It was started in 1905 at the orders of British Viceroy Lord Curzon following a request from his wife. As a famous biodiversity (生物多样性) site, the wildlife park is famous for its one-horned rhino(犀牛) population.
Fatehpur Sikri, UP
Founded in 1569, the city served as the Mughal capital. The city is the manifestation (证明) of Mughal Emperor Akbar’s dream to build a great capital for his empire. The Great Mughal’s great city was abandoned just 16 years after it was built due to the serious shortage of water. Today, the city is mostly a ghost town.

Walter Reed was born in 1851 in Belroi, Virginia. After studying medicine, he joined the Army Medical Corps in 1874 and had a very successful career for the next 25 years. Then he was given a very special job.2-1-c-n-j-y
Doctors had long been concerned about yellow fever, which injured the liver (肝脏) and made the skin turn yellowish. It was said that yellow fever spread from person to person, but doctors weren’t sure about it. During the Spanish-American War, the U.S. Army became concerned about yellow fever because many American soldiers who went to Cuba contracted it and became ill. In 1900 after the war, the Surgeon General put Walter Reed in charge of a team that went to Cuba to study yellow fever and other diseases.
Three other doctors were on Reed’s team. The team quickly saw that nurses took care of patients with yellow fever and did not get sick. Therefore, they knew that yellow fever was not spread by touching sick people or their clothing. Dr. Carlos Finlay of Havana, Cuba, believed that mosquitoes(蚊子) carried yellow fever. The team decided to check his idea.2·1·c·n·j·y21世纪教育网版权所有
The only sure way to check this idea was to have a mosquito bite a person with yellow fever, and then have the same mosquito bite a healthy person. If the healthy person became ill with yellow fever, the team would know that the illness had been carried by the mosquito. Two doctors and a soldier bravely volunteered to be bitten by yellow-fever mosquitoes. The soldier suffered a mild case. At first the two doctors did not get sick, but then they both became very ill. After very careful experiments on other volunteers, the team proved that mosquitoes carried yellow fever from person to person.
In 1901, based on Reed’s work, doctors realized that by cleaning out the places where the mosquitoes laid their eggs they could almost completely get rid of yellow fever. A vaccine (疫苗) that protects people from yellow fever was discovered in 1951. It is still used today.
When the Army built a huge medical center in Washington, DC, they named it after Walter Reed. They wanted people to have a way to remember the work done by Reed and others, especially the courageous volunteers who risked their lives, to conquer(征服) yellow fever.
58. Reed’s job was special mainly because _____.
A. he was a doctor in the army
B. he would work with foreigners
C. he needed to study yellow fever
D. he had to do research in wartime
59. The fourth paragraph is mainly about _____.
A. why Reed was asked to do the work
B. how Reed’s team did the experiments
C. how the U.S. Army honored Walter Reed
D. why the U.S. Army was concerned about yellow fever21*cnjy*com
60. We can learn from the text that finally _____.
A. Reed built a huge medical center
B. Reed stayed in Cuba after the work
C. doctors found ways to prevent yellow fever
D. the volunteer doctors lost their lives in the experiments
61. What would be the best title for the text?
A. The Spanish-American War
B. Say goodbye to yellow fever
C. Walter Reed and yellow fever
D. Medical achievements in the 19th century
D ★★★★☆
Shakespeare once called the English countryside “the precious stone set in the silver sea”— and he is not the last to sing high praises of its beauty and historical charm.
The countryside is particularly beautiful during the summer, especially in August and September. As one travels the countryside, you’ll find more of its treasures: so many plants and animals, romantic castles (城堡), secret gardens, and villages so unchanged in the last decades that they seem to have been caught under a fairy’s spell.
Must-sees include Derbyshire, called “the heart of England” and home to the National Park. The great peaks were the muse (创作灵感) of the Bronte sisters (and if you love the book Jane Eyre, you can visit North Lees hall, where the real Eyre family once lived).
History lovers will enjoy a visit to Lincoln city (its most famous son is Lord Alfred Tennyson). It is also known for its cathedral, the charming tea shops, a small castle. One would never guess its violent past — built by the Romans, it was once a center for arrow making.www.21-cn-jy.com
Harry Potter fans shouldn’t miss a visit to Alnwick, which is better recognized as the “Hogswarth” in the movies. 21世纪教育网版权所有

You can also go to the City of Bath, which has been famous for its medicines springs since the Roman times. Other popular attractions include Salisbury Cathedral, the landscaped gardens of Stourhead, and the cobbled streets of Shaftesbury. This is also home to Oxford, one of the world’s most famous universities.
Art lovers will also like a visit to East Anglia, whose landscapes inspired the painter Constable (he was born in Dedham village). This is also home of the University City of Cambridge, and the famous architectural attraction, King’s College Chapel. Be sure to visit the aircraft museum of Duxford.

Are you feeling anxious about your test next week? Here are some tips that will help you in dealing with stress and anxiety.【出处:21教育名师】
Study regularly
One of the most important ways of avoiding test anxiety is to prepare well in advance. Study regularly for a few hours every day. ?66 ?
Reduce study pressure
If students are not able to deal with anxiety or nervousness, they could talk to their teachers, student counselors (辅导员), parents or friends. Parents should also avoid pressurizing their kids to do well. ?67 ?Then your children can study without any tension (紧张). Another important point that arises here is neither the students nor the parents should compare the children with their other classmates and friends.
Physical fitness
?68 ?Many times due to anxiety students avoid sleep and starve themselves. They should sleep for at least 6-7 hours a day and eat nutritious(有营养的) and healthy food. Exercising regularly is equally important as talking to friends and socializing (社交).
?69?
Plan your studies well. Chart out a timetable and take proper breaks between studying. Along with the study time, allot (分配) time to relax and do what you love to do. Practicing simple breathing techniques will also help reduce stress.
?70 ?While it is important to gain good scores in tests, it is not the most important thing in life. Learning to deal with nervousness and stress will not only help them to do well in school tests, but also in their future life.
A. Prepare schedule
B. Listen carefully in class
C. Do not forget to eat and sleep properly.
D. It helps in increasing the confidence of students.www-2-1-cnjy-com
E. Create a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere at home.
F. Students should remember that tests are just a part of life.
G. Test and exam time causes a lot of nervousness in students.

Dear Jack,
I’m glad to hear that you’re interested in Chinese paper cutting. Now let me give you a brief introduction to it.
Paper cutting is one of?China’s most popular traditional folk arts. Chinese paper cutting has a history of more than 1,500 years. It was particularly popular during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
People often beautify their homes with paper cuttings. During the Spring Festival and wedding celebrations, paper cuttings are used to decorate doors, windows and rooms in order to increase the happy atmosphere. The colour most frequently used in paper cutting is red, which symbolises health and prosperity. Chinese paper cuttings have become very popular all over the world and they are often given as presents to friends and relatives.21·cn·jy·com
Santa Fe
The capital of New Mexico, in the north-central part of the state northeast of Albuquerque. The Spanish established a settlement here c. 1609 on the site of ancient Native American ruins and developed it as a trade center over the next 200 years. Occupied by U.S. forces in 1846, it became territorial capital in 1851 and state capital in 1912. Population, 55,859.21世纪教育网版权所有
圣达菲:新墨西哥州首府,位于该州中北部,阿尔伯克基东北方。西班牙人于1609年在原美洲印第安人的废墟上建起了此住宅区,并在以后的200年里把它建成了一个贸易中心。它在1846年被美国部队占领,于1851年成为地区首府,并于1912年成为州首府。人口55,859
Stonehenge
巨石阵又称索尔兹伯里石环、环状列石、太阳神庙、史前石桌、斯通亨治石栏、斯托肯立石圈等名,是欧洲著名的史前时代文化神庙遗址,位于英格兰威尔特郡索尔兹伯里平原,约建于公元前4000~2000年(2008年3月至4月,英国考古学家研究发现,巨石阵的准确建造年代距今已经有4300年,即建于公元前2300年左右)21世纪教育网版权所有
在英国伦敦西南100多千米的索尔兹伯里平原上,一些巍峨巨石呈环形屹立在绿色的旷野间,这就是英伦三岛最著名、最神秘的史前遗迹—巨石阵。
  公元1130年,英国的一位神父在一次外出时,偶然发现了巨石阵,从此这座由巨大的石头构成的奇特古迹,开始引起了人们的注意。
  巨石阵的英文名字叫做“Stonehenge”。Stone意为“石头”,henge意为“围栏”(王同亿主编的《英汉辞海》:“henge,在英格兰发现的青铜时代的一种圆形构筑物(如木构),周围有埂和沟“)。 21教育网
  在英国人的心目中,这是一个神圣的地方。
周口店北京人遗址
周口店位于北京西南50公里、房山城西5公里,地处山区和平原的衔接地带。周口店遗址在周口店镇以西的龙骨山上,遗址面积2平方公里。周口店遗址是我国出土古人类化石、文化遗物和古动物化石的考古遗址,内涵极为丰富,出土了大量的古人类化石、文化遗物和哺乳动物化石。经过半个多世纪的发掘,先后发现埋藏着不同时期的各类化石的地点7处,即第1、第3、第4、第13、第15、第22地点和山顶洞人遗址。地质时代从上早新世至晚更新世,年代范围从五百万年前到距今一万多年前为止。北京人头盖骨的发现,使周口店成为世界闻名的早期人类发祥地。在漫长的历史岁月中,这里曾生活着距今70万年至20万年前的北京人、距今10万年左右的新洞人、距今2.7万年前的山顶洞人。
  1961年3月周口店北京人遗址被国务院公布为第1批全国重点文物保护单位;1987年12月11日,联合国教科文组织总干事签发证书,把周口店北京人遗址与我国的长城、北京故宫、秦陵、敦煌一起列入“世界文化遗产”清单。
  周口店北京人遗址1921年开始发掘,1929年12月著名的古人类学家裴文中在周口店第一地点即猿人洞,挖掘出北京人第一具头盖骨充分证实了周口店确曾是远古人类的发祥地,从而确立了周口店在古人类发展史上的地位和史人类研究上的地位。21世纪教育网版权所有
  到目前为止,共发现完整和比较完整的头盖骨六个,头骨破片12件,下额骨15件,牙齿157个,股骨断片7件,胫骨1件,肱骨3件,锁骨1件,月骨1件。全部骨骼分属40个男女老少不同的个体。根据这些骨骼化石可以了解到北京人在体态上的一个突出现象是肢骨比头骨进步,肢骨很像现代人,头骨则保留着很多原始性,如额骨低平,明显后倾;眉脊骨粗壮而且向前突出;面部较短,吻部前伸;下颌骨前部向后方倾斜。北京人的脑容量比现代人小,它的脑容量平均只有1059毫升,而现代人的脑容量则有1400毫升。根据推算,北京人男性身高约为1.56米,女性身高1.44米。“北京人”还保留着猿的特征,他们是从古猿类进化到现代人过程中的一个中间环节。“北京人”的生命是相当短的,据古人类专家估计,68.2%的人死在14岁之前,超过50岁的人仅占4.5%。北京人遗址还出土了97种哺乳动物化石和上万件石器。“灰烬层”的发现,说明“北京人”已经能够使用火。21教育网
  山顶洞人是1930年被发现的。在1933年、1934年进行了系统发掘。出土的有3具古人类的头盖骨,还有盆骨和股骨等等。与古人类同时出土的还有:25件石器,磨光了的鹿角、140多件装饰品,如骨针,穿孔的贝壳、动物牙齿、河卵石;还有石珠和骨雕制品;以及33种哺乳动物的化石。在古人类学分期中,山顶洞人属晚期智人阶段,在体质特征上基本和现代人一样,脑容量约1300至1500毫升,正在现代人的脑容量变异范围内。男性身高1.74米、女性1.59米,也和现代人相当。研究表明,山顶洞人为原始的蒙古人种。
  第4地点即新洞,此洞位于第1地点南约70米,1973年开始发掘,该地点发现了古人类的左上第一前臼齿,属早期智人,介于“北京人”与“山顶洞人”之间。与“新洞人”同时出土的还有少量石器,40多种哺乳动物化石。
  第15地点,位于新洞东侧,相距10米,它是1932年被发现的,在1934至1937年期间被发掘。该地点出土了石器约1万件,哺乳动物化石达33种。
巧夺天工的英国巨石阵
英国的巨石阵(Stonehedge)位于伦敦西南面137公里处,可以称为英国的国家标志。早在四千年以前,这石阵便已屹立于此。古人兴建此石阵的原因及方式至今仍然是一个谜。21世纪教育网版权所有
巨石阵的主石群排列成圆环形似的马蹄铁状,在周边的石环,大部份还站于遗迹中,在这石环里还有一个比较小的石环。而这两个石环中有被称为「三石牌坊」(Trilithon)的史前建筑,即两个直立的巨石上横放著另一巨石(楣石)。
令人们感兴趣的,除了怎么令重达数公吨的楣石升至直立巨石的顶部之外,还有如何使楣石与直立巨石紧密接合。研究人员发现,由石柱顶部的凸出部份与楣石凹沟接合,与如今木匠所用的「入榫」技术如出一辙。而当时的人怎能准确的计算弧度,令楣石保持平衡、平放于石柱上,而且能够组成圆环形的巨石阵?
还有人发现,一年中大部份的日子,人们站在石阵的中央是看不见日出的。但是到了夏至,日出会在主石之后出现,此时此刻它会造成一个错觉:太阳被水平的放置在巨石之上。21教育网
二十世纪的天文学家霍金斯(Gerald Hawkins)认为,巨石阵就像一台原始的天文电脑,能预言日蚀、月亮和太阳等天文现象。其实世界上许多古老文明,都显示了当时的人对于研究天文,有异常的爱好,时常以星座、星球的位置来架构建筑物。太多类似的巧合,是否为古人想要留下来的信息?
苏州
苏州建城于公元前514年,吴王夫差的父亲阖闾命楚国叛将伍子胥建阖闾城,距今已有2500多年的历史了。春秋时期,这里是吴国的都城,至今还保留着许多有关西施、伍子胥等的古迹。隋开皇九年(公元589年)始称苏州,沿用至今。苏州城建城早,规模大,水陆并行,河街相邻,古城区至今仍坐落在原址上,为国内外所罕见。 ??? ? 苏州园林甲天下,已被列入世界文化遗产名录,在中国四大名园中,苏州就占有拙政园、留园两席;“吴中第一名胜”虎丘深厚的文化积淀,使其成为游客来苏州的必游之地;而唐朝诗人张继的一首《枫桥夜泊》,令古今游客争相来访枫桥,闻听寒山寺的钟声。 ??? ? 姑苏城外自然风光秀丽,灵岩、天平、天池和洞庭诸山,点缀于太湖之滨,形成了富有江南风情的湖光山色。 ???? 苏州既有园林之美,又有山水之胜,自然、人文景观交相辉映,加之文人墨客题咏吟唱,使苏州成为名副其实的“人间天堂”。
