Stonehenge, a rock circle, is not only one of Britain’s most famous historical places, but also one of its greatest mysteries. Stonehenge was built slowly over a long period of time. Most historians believe it must be almost 5,000 years old. Every year it receives more than 750,000 visitors. Especially in June, people go to this place because they want to see the sun rising on the longest day of the year.

For many years historians believed Stonehenge was a temple where ancient leaders tried to communicate with the gods. However, historian Paul Stoker thinks this can’t be true because Stonehenge was built so many centuries ago. “The leaders arrived in England much later,” he points out.

Another popular idea is that Stonehenge might be a kind of calendar (日历). The large stones were put together in a certain way. On midsummer’s morning, the sun shines directly into the center of the stones can prevent illness while keeping people healthy. No one is sure what Stonehenge was used for. But most agree that the position of the stones must be for a special purpose.

1.Stonehenge is one of ________, as well as greatest mysteries in Britain.

2.People go to Stonehenge in June, in order to _________.

3.Historian Paul Stoker thinks Stonehenge can’t be a ________, because the leaders arrived in England much later.

4.The large stones were put together in a certain way, so Stonehenge might be ________.

5.________ is sure what Stonehenge was used for.

Last summer I went to one of the world's most famous historical places, the Forbidden City in Beijng, China. It was the home of the emperors of the last two dynasties (朝代) in China, the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

The Forbidden City was built in 1420. The palace has over 10,000 rooms. It was where the emperors dealt with the official business with their ministers.

In Mandarin, The Forbidden City is called the Purple Forbidden City. However, the color of the palace itself is not purple. The color purple stands for power of the great emperors of China. It was so sacred(神圣的) that the commoners could not even dream of ever going in.

The emperors also had some of the largest festival celebrations at the Forbidden City. During Chinese New Year, the emperor would invite all the members of his family and his officials to a banquet. The banquet had a hundred and eight Chinese dishes. It was such an expensive banquet　 that it could feed a commoner's family for three generations(代).

Right now The Forbidden City is known as a historical site for tourists from all over the world. Everyone can go in there. It is a museum with priceless Chinese antiques (古董) and treasures in it.
