Stonehenge(巨石阵)——history class0 H. D7 ]$ p7 Q
Moving on to another ancient discovery, let’s discuss magnificence and mystery of stonehenge. Three kilometers west of a town called Amesbury stands a large, tell stone ruin(废墟)
; X4 ]2 A: E1 wknown as stonehenge. This unique monument(纪念碑) has stood for over 5000 years in an open dawnland of salisbury plain in Southern England. Stonehenge is not a single structure, but consists of a serices of earth, wood and stone structures that were revised and re-modeled over 1000 of years. How were the stones moved into place. No one knows exactly. But it is definite（清楚的）that it take a lot of muscle(肌肉) power and numerous men to move this heavy stones in place. The next lagical question might be why was stonehenge build. Well to answer that question, we can look at the finding of an 18 century’s british scholar named william stukelay who noticed that houreshoe of great stones and houreshoe of 19 small stones called bluestons opened up the direction(方向) of a midsummer sunrise. He concluded(相信) that there stones were placed not accidentally. But dileberately position and planned so that on a midsummer’s morning the sun" ?3 X; M+ E( ]
rose directly over the heel stone and first rays shone into the centre of the monument bewteen they open arm of the horseshoe arrangement. This discovery has had tremendous(极大) impact on how stonehenge has been interpreted（说明）. Both stukely in the 18th century and Sir J. Norman Lockyer, a british astronomer and scientist, in the 20th century. Believed that this alignment（排成直线）implied a ritualistic(仪式) connection with sun worship. There conclusions led to believe that stonehenge was built as a temple to the sun. nowadays, an astronomer named……disagree with…………. Conclusions and instead argue that stonehenge it’s not simply aligned with solar and lunar astronomical events. But can be used to predict other events such eclipes. In a nutshell（简单地说）, he believe that stonehenge was not built as a temple, instead it was built at an astronomical calculator(计算)) K2 `% B+ g# V/ N$ X$ S

To spent form 4 to 6 weeks, observingand assisting a real physician like me, in thesmall rural community, you won’t to have competeto with other student for time and attention. And you can see what life as a country doctor is really like. The program was designed to encourage(鼓励) medical studentlike yourselves to consider carrers in rural communities that are still understaffed. It’s seems that medicalstudent afraid to go into rural family practice(实践) for two reasons. First, they don’t know much about it and secondspecially in the city usually make more money. But on they up-side, in rural practice,doctors can really get to know their there patiens,and be respected menber of community(社区).- q2 {1 O( f+ _- q0 Z$ n
