Stonehenge is an ancient monument situated about ten miles north of Salisbury in England. It was built about 4500 years ago, but by whom and for what purpose remains a mystery. The builders must have known of geometry. They may have been influenced by the Mycenaeans, whose architecture was similar. Some of the stones must have been brought from West Wales, over 135 miles away. These stones weigh more than fifty tons. They may have been brought on rafts and rollers. Experts say that it must have taken 1500 men more than five years to transport them. Stonehenge was probably built in three stages. First, settlers from continental Europe built a temple for sun worship. Later the "Beaker" people added the stone circles. Finally, people of the Wessex Culture transformed Stonehenge into an observatory. They could calculate the exact time of Midsummer and Midwinter and of equinoxes
We understand from the passage that the construction of the Stonehenge ----
began 135 miles away from Salisbury
is thought to have taken place in more than one stage
was first documented by the Mycenaeans
is not a mystery that needs to be solved
was completed in less than five years

Aristotle, who lived from 384 BC to 322 BC, taught that the heart contained the intelligence. Except for a few guesses like this, he observed carefully. He described the habits and the bodily structure (anatomy) of many animals, birds and fish. Another Greek, Galen, who lived in the second century AD, performed biological experiments. Both careful observation of living things and experiments are used today in the study of biology. Galen observed and described the internal anatomy of the human body.-He described many parts that he saw in the body. But he was not always careful. He sometimes described what he expected to see and did not look carefully to see what was really there. For centuries after Galen, people studied anatomy from his books instead of trusting their own observations.
It's obvious that Aristotle ----.
thinks that it is the brain which contains the intelligence
died in his sixties
observed only birds and fish
is both a great philosopher and a biologist
described both the habits and the structure of animals better than anyone else

Homer was a Greek epic poet. Both the date and the place of his birth and death are not known precisely, but recent research suggests a date between 1050 and 800 BC. It has even been claimed that no such man as Homer existed and that The Iliad and The Odyssey are collections of traditional ballads and not the work of one man. In any event they were known all over the Greek-speaking world before the sixth century BC. The Iliad is an epic poem dealing with the siege of Troy by the Greeks. The Odyssey describes the wandering of Odysseus, a Greek seafarer, on his way back to Ithaca after the fall of Troy.

Early man know about the natural fire of lightning and volcanoes long before he began to use fire himself. He didn't know what fire was, but he had seen the damage it could cause. Fire was powerful and dangerous, and so he was frightened. Greek legend tells how Prometheus stole fire from God Zeus, and brought it to Earth for man to use. Zeus was very angry. He ordered Prometheus to be chained to a rock. Every day an eagle pecked out his liver, and every night his liver grew again. So Prometheus suffered a terrible punishment for his deed. The name "Prometheus" means "the fore thinker". One Greek philosopher wrote that all arts, all skills, men owe to the fore-thinker. By this he meant that civilisation is founded on fire and using fire. When man eventually learned how to use fire, he guarded it carefully. Some ancient peoples worshipped fire as a goddess. Even when man learned to make fire whenever he liked, often kept sacred fires burning.
It's obvious from the passage that Prometheus ----.
doesn't mean a person who thinks beforehand
was able to protect himself from the eagle
intended to bring fire from the sky for human

“I don’t want a new baby brother!” whined Kim.
“Honey, you don’t have a choice. He will be here next
month,” mom said rubbing her big belly.
Kim couldn’t believe that she would have to be around a
loud, slobbery baby. Plus, the thought of sharing anything,
especially attention from her mom and dad, with a new baby
didn’t sound fun at all!
“You will be one of the most important people in his life!”
mom exclaimed. “He will need you to look out for him and to
teach him new things!”
“Hmm, I guess that’s true. I will be showing him a lot of
new things. Maybe it won’t be all that terrible having a little
rugrat running around here,” Kim replied with a sigh. “Just
don’t expect me to change his diapers!”
Anger can help you take responsibility for your behavior.
New babies are just loud and slobbery.
Feeling important can help people accept change more easily.
Having a sibling has its advantages.
It's fun teaching your younger sibling new things.
Georgia decided to take a sewing class, but felt
very frustrated when she couldn’t sew a straight
line on the first day.
“This looks so easy, but it’s not! Clearly I’m
just terrible at sewing!” she complained.
Even though she felt frustrated, she continued
to go to class week after week. Each week, her
sewing instructor helped her. By the last week of
class, Georgia finally completed a project all by
herself! She created a rectangular pillow for her
bed... with four mostly perfect straight lines.
Sewing is a very difficult skill to learn.
It is almost impossible to create straight lines.
If they really want to help, teachers should just do all the work.
Perseverance pays off.
If at first you don't succeed, try again.
One minute we were goofing around and having
fun and the next thing I knew, Hank’s body soared
over the top of the patio and suddenly his life was
in danger. With fingers grasped tightly on the
railing, he desperately cried for help. I watched his
grip slowly slip away and knew that a 40-foot
plunge to the ground could be disastrous. Without
stopping to consider my own safety, I jumped into
action.
My heart pounded through my chest and fear
pulsed through my veins as I clutched his hands and
pulled up as hard as I could.
It takes courage to face dangerous situations.
Hanging off a balcony can be dangerous sometimes.
People should only play around inside.
If you play rough, you should be more careful.
Always do the right thing.
Even though Greg had been looking forward to his
best friend’s party for over a month, he knew his
grandma would really love to see him.
“It’s your choice, Greg. Grandma is really sick, but I
know you’ve been very excited about this party,” said his
mom.
Most of his class was planning on going to the party
and he knew it would be so much fun! After some
thought, though, Greg knew exactly what he was going to
do.
“It’s not like this is the last party that I’ll ever be
invited to and grandma would be so sad if I didn’t come,”
said Greg. “Plus, I always like making her smile.”
Dreams come true when you go to parties.
Helping family comes first.
Spending time with grandparents is important.
Trust in your friends and they will help you.
Making others happy can be very rewarding.
Opera refers to a dramatic art form, originating in Europe, in which the emotional content is conveyed to the audience as much through music, both vocal and instrumental, as it is through the lyrics. By contrast, in musical theatre an actor's dramatic performance is primary, and the music plays a lesser role. The drama in opera is presented using the primary elements of theatre such as scenery, costumes, and acting. However, the words of the opera, or libretto, are sung rather than spoken. The singers are accompanied by a musical ensemble ranging from a small instrumental ensemble to a full symphonic orchestra.
