Tut didn't really know what he had seen but he knew it was something 3.(specially). He ran to tell the local governor, and together they 4.(walk)into the jungle. There they found Tikal(蒂卡尔)，the city that the Mayans (玛雅A) had built many hundreds of years before.

For a long time before that day, local people had known that somewhere in the jungle there was an old Mayan city, 6.no one had seen it for centuries. 7.200 and 900 AD, the city of Tikal had been the center of Mayan civilization in the region, but then the Mayans left 8.─nobody knows why! After 1000 AD, the jungle began to cover it and people forgot that it was there.
Seven years before Tut looked out for the trees, two British explorers had gone to Guatemala and had written a report about Mayan treasures in the jungle, but they didn't mention Tikal. Even 9.(early)than this, local Indians had told European travelers about a great city 10.(hide) in the trees, but no one would listen to them.

The ruins of a Maya city have been discovered in Guatemala with the help of the remote sensing technique LiDAR. This lost city envelops sites like Tikal, Holmul, and Witzna, but shows that these famous areas are a small part of this lost urban network.
Hidden under the jungles of the Maya Biosphere Reserve site, more than 60,000 human-made features — homes, canals, highways, and more — have been identified in aerial (从飞机上的)images collected by some international researchers headed by the PAGUNAM Foundation, a Maya cultural and natural heritage organization. Those have experts rethinking the outlines and complexity of the Maya Empire.
These ancient peoples obviously created these imaginative cultures based on their known relics (遗迹), but the new research has suggested that the size of this lost society is far beyond what experts imagined. The findings will be explored in a one-hour documentary called “Lost Treasures of the Maya Snake Kings”, to be broadcast on the National Geographic Channel.
This breakthrough was possible thanks to LiDAR sensors, which can survey lands in 3D by bouncing pulses off the ground from unmanned air vehicles and others. LiDAR is exceptionally useful for detecting archeological(考古的)sites, as it gets through jungles and other features that hold up exploration on the ground. The technique has made many discoveries become a reality in recent years. For instance, major finds at Angkor, Cambodia and Caracol, Belize can explain what it did. The final goal is to survey Guatemala’s lowlands with it.
“There are entire cities we didn't know about now showing up in the survey data,” Francisco Estrada-Belli, one of the lead archeologists on the project, said in Nat Geo's coming documentary. “There are 20,000 square kilometres more to be explored and there are going to be hundreds of cities about the mysterious people who built this urban network there that we don’t know about, and we will push back the frontiers with the technology,” he added.

A man in Germany may not have been in danger when he called the police on a baby squirrel chasing him, but it all worked out for the best for the furry suspect.
Emergency services in the city of Karistruhe got a call on Thursday from a man afraid that the tiny animal wouldn't stop following him around, The Guardian reported. Police arrived at the scene, where the squirrel finally stopped running after him by lying down and going to sleep.
It turned out that the squirrel actually needed help, the police said, “It often happens that squirrels which have lost their mothers look for a replacement and then focus their efforts on one person,” the police spokesman Christian Krenz told The Guardian.
The squirrel, now named Karl-Friedrich, is in the care of an animal rescue center. Karlstruhe police posted a statement on Facebook about the animal, including several lovely photos. The department wished Karl-Friedrich the best.
The baby squirrel chase is the second police-involved squirrel incident to make international headlines this summer. Last month, a London woman called the police after she heard loud noises in her home and suspected a thief. The unwanted visitor turned out to be a “rogue squirrel”, according to the police who came for help.
Although authorities in the German case said the squirrel did need assistance, wildlife experts generally warn that before dealing with the case where you suspect a squirrel is orphaned, you should do your best to make sure the creature truly requires help. The Wildlife Center of Virginia, which gets hundreds of calls annually about supposedly orphaned squirrels, published this handy guide to help determine whether such an animal really needs help and what to do if so. When in doubt, contact a local wildlife rescuer, a rehab center on animal control.
1.Why did the man in Germany call the police?
A.A baby squirrel was asleep there. B.A baby squirrel tried to bite him.
C.A baby squirrel was lying down there. D.A baby squirrel kept running after him.
2.What does Karl-Friedrich in the passage turn out to be?
A.A woman from London. B.A lovely little squirrel.
C.An unwanted visitor. D.A local policewoman.
3.What do we know about the people making calls when they see squirrels?
A.They are very active in animal protection.
B.They are very eager to help disabled squirrels.
C.They think squirrels are endangered animals.
D.They think squirrels are in a hungry state.
4.What can we infer from wildlife experts' words in the last paragraph?
A.People should try to give first aid to injured or sick squirrels.
B.People should figure out whether squirrels actually need assistance.
C.People should help squirrels who are left alone as soon as possible.
D.People should contact a local wildlife rescuer when seeing orphaned squirrels,
