When we hear the word “pyramid”(金字塔) there is little doubt that Egypt(埃及) and the desert come to mind. Did you know, however, that continents and oceans away — in what is today Central America and Mexico — people also built pyramids? While they look somewhat different from the ones we see in Egypt, they also were built with great skill.

The pyramids of Central America were built by the Mayan(玛雅) and Aztec(阿芝台克) peoples, as well as other smaller groups. Both Mayan and Aztec cultures built pyramids for their gods. They thought that building higher pyramids would allow them to get close to heaven. These cultures believed that the gods were found in nature. One of the most important gods was the sun. Many of the pyramids were for their sun god. At the top of the pyramids they built temples to make the gods happier. However, pyramids were not used only for their gods.

Before Europeans came to the area in the 1500s, many of the cultures of the Americas, such as the Mayan and Aztec, had much knowledge about mathematics and astrology. They thought that the night sky could be used as a mirror to explain many aspects of life, which is the reason why they studied it carefully. The temples on top of the pyramids were also used as places for watching the skies. The Mayans had a solid understanding of the movement of stars and planets. This helped them understand the seasons. They were the first to create a 365-day calendar.

There is really little doubt that the British are different from other members of the European Community as some recent statistics demonstrate(说明). Take marriage for instance. Nowhere else in Europe—except for Portugal—has fewer marriages. Yet Britain has the highest divorce rate-almost half of all marriages end up on the rocks. Italian couples are six times more likely to stick together. Of those who divorce, British men seem far more willing to take another chance than women divorcées.

However, Britain measures up pretty well in other departments. It is the second safest place in Europe to drive a car, beaten only by Norway. There are many more fatal road accidents in France, Spain and Portugal. Also, the reputation the British have for being work-shy is not confirmed(确认) by statistics. At an average of forty-four hours a week they beat even the hard-working Germans by four hours. Unfortunately, there is a downside to this. Britain and Holland share the worst rates of job absenteeism(旷工) in the whole of Europe. The Dutch　 and the British, so alike in many superficial(表面的) senses, differ markedly in one area: The British lock up twice as many people as the Dutch do.
