Archaeologists（考古學(xué)家） studying Stonehenge and its surrounding area say they've dug up the relics of an untouched, ancient campsite that dates back to 6,000 years—a find that could rewrite British prehistory.

“This is the most important discovery at Stonehenge in over 60 years,” Professor Tim Darvill, a Bournemouth University archaeologist and a Stonehenge expert who did not take part in the new discovery, told the Telegraph. And as he told The Huffington Post in an email, the discovery changes earlier theories that Stonehenge was built in a landscape that was not heavily used before about 3000 B.C.

The discovery was made during a dig at Blick Mead, a site about 1.5 miles from Stonehenge. Researchers found charcoal（木炭）dating back to 4,000 B.C. and evidence of possible buildings, according to a statement released by the university. They also dug up burnt stone and tools, as well as the remains of animals—ancient cattle that served as food for ancient hunter-gatherers.

The researchers plan further analysis on the artificial objects but say they're worried the tunnel construction (隧道建設(shè)) could damage the site and get in the way of their work.

“Blick Mead could explain what archaeologists have been searching for centuries—an answer to the story of Stonehenge’s past,” David Jacques, the University of Buckingham archaeologist who discovered the campsite, told The Guardian. “But our only chance to find out about the earliest part of Britain’s history could be ruined if the tunnel goes ahead.”

Stonehenge, a prehistoric monument made up of a ring of standing stones, lies eight miles north of Salisbury, England in Wiltshire. It has been listed as a World Heritage Site since 1986.

One day I was in the back yard teaching my little nephew how to play football. He said that play football was something easier. His words instantly bring back memories of my childhood. Like a little boy, I told my uncle I wanted to become football star like him. However, he taught me how to kick the ball. After some practice, I told him it was hard for me to kick the ball the way he kicked them. He talked to me about not giving up on how I really wanted to do. Thank to his guidance and encouragement, and I’ve turned football star in my school.

Last Thursday, Michael and Linda stood behind large food trucks distributing meals to 4,000 homeless people for their wedding reception on the border town of Kilis. The couple had decided that instead of hosting their friends and family for a traditional feast reception, they would feed the victims from an earthquake-stricken area.

The idea came from the bridegroom's father, Ted, who volunteers for a Turkish relief organization. For the past few years, the organization has distributed daily meals to thousands of people who've suffered from natural disasters. He approached a representative of the organization and suggested that the family cover part of the costs of feeding them for the day.

Then he told his son, who was surprised by the suggestion, but soon won over. When he told that to the bride, she was really shocked but finally accepted because in southeastern Turkey there is a real culture of sharing with people in need. They love to share their food, their table and everything they have. And afterwards she was quite amazed about it. So, they arrived at the distribution center on Thursday to spend the day serving food and taking photographs with their grateful recipients (接受者)．

On Tuesday evening, the newly married couple were still pleased with their decision to quit a personal celebration for one with a greater good. “It's like sharing a dinner with your friends and family who have this kind of thing on a daily basis or sharing something with people who don't even have the most basic things,” Michael said. “Hopefully, this will also give the start for other wedding dinners to be held here with our brothers and sisters in need.”

1.Why did so many people crowd in Kilis?

A. To attend Michael and Linda's wedding.

B. To escape the damaging earthquake.

C. To support the organization.

D. To help distribute free daily meals.

2.How did the couple celebrate their wedding?

A. They treated their friends and relatives to a big dinner.

B. They afforded the entire cost of the day for feeding victims.

C. They shared their happiness with the homeless in Kilis.

D. They took photos with the grateful victims.

3.What does the underlined word “approached” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A. consulted with B. moved towards

C. came across D. took in

4.We can know from the text that __________________.

A. Michael doubted if more new couples would follow him

B. Ted was a representative of the organization

C. Linda adopted the suggestion immediately she heard it

D. Kilis is a place which lies in southeastern Turkey

When you’ve seen a couple fighting or having a pity argument,what is the first thing that comes into your mind?Probably you think that you will never allow arguments to set in your relationship,especially when you get married,or will never think to start one,but arguments seem to come naturally.

You argue about the brand of coffee,or what to eat at lunch,who will do the dishes,etc.Sometimes,more than that,but regardless of your reasons for the argument(or fight),fixing a troubled relationship and having a solution is very important.

Our partners are our most valuable fortunes.Companions provide a listening ear for our troubles,support for our dreams,and a safety net when we fall.They give us love,even when we are unlovable.They are and must be our friends.

Inevitably,though,sometimes we go through troubled periods and a solution should be sought through the following steps:

Address the situation.Admit to your partner that something is wrong and needs to be fixed.

Determine the problem.Together,discuss what problems we are facing.Be honest and let your honesty be in its proper place.Remember,you are talking to your partner,another half of yourself.

Apologize.We accept responsibility for our actions and seek forgiveness.

Refuse to blame.In addition,we must avoid defending ourselves.There could be a temptation to argue over who did what;however,the goal is not proving who is right but saving the relationship.

Begin repairs.Ask,“What can I do to rebuild our relationship?” The key here is to do willingly whatever is requested.

Commit to rebuilding.Immediately start investing your time,energy,and love in restoring the relationship.In order to have a good relationship with a partner who accepts and loves us,we must be willing to pay the high price of patching up the broken relationship.Walking away might seem easier,but in the long run,we would lose a valuable treasure.
