The huge pyramid of Khufu at Giza was one of the seven wonders of the world .The king of ancient Egypt planned strong tombss to keep their bodies safe after death and to hold their treasures .Over these tombs huge stone pyramids were built.There are over 80 pyramids in all,but the Great Pyramids is the largest of all .The Great Pyramid was built nearly five thousand years ago for a king called Khufu .It is located on the west bank the Nile River,not far from Cairo .In fact ,all the pyramids along the Nile are on its west bank .The antient Egyptians compared the rising of the sun to the beginning of life and the setting of the sun to the end of the life .This is why their dead were buried on the west bank of the Nile.It is very hard to realize how big the Great Pyramid is .It has over 2 300 000 blocks of stones .These huge stone blocks weigh an average of two and a half tons each ,as much as a small car .Some even weigh fifteen tons. Without machinary ,the ancient Egyptians cut and moved and lifted each of the stones. Many of the blocks came from the east bank of the Nile,and they were taken across the river in boats at flood time .It took more than 100 000 slaves twenty years to build the Great Pyramid.It takes about twenty minutes to walk all the way around the pyramid .Now after many centuries ,the shining surface is worn away ,and men have taken some of the huge stone blocks to build other things .Thieves have stonen the treasures ,and they have stolen the body of Khufu himself .No doubt this is a matter of regret ,but it is still a place of interest .When you reached the top ,you can see for miles of you .You can see the smaller pyramids and the Sphinx ,the great stone statue of the lion with a human head .To the west you can see the Libran Desert ,and to the east you can see the green Nile Vally and the modern city of Cairo.Picture two the Great Wall The Great Wall ,one of the greatest wonders in the world ,is one of the man-made objects on the earth that can be seen on the moon . The Great Wall winds its way from west to east ,over mountains ,through valleys and across plains ,just like a giant dragon .In toal it is a little over 12,000 li long so it is called the 10,000 li Great Wall . It dates from the period of Spring and Autumn and the Warring States ,and came into being in Ming Dynasty .At that time it was built to keep out the enemies .There are many watch towers on it where fire was burnt to send signals and different smokes meant differently . Now it has a history of 2000 years .Some of the sections of the Great Wall are now in ruins or even entirely disappear but it is still one of the most appealing attractions which attracts tourists from all over the worid .We all know the famous saying “He who doesnt reach the Great Wall is not a true man .” Picture three Stonehenge Stonehenge is a circle of large standing stones located near Salisbury ,in Wiltshire England .It dates back to 3100 BC .It is not clear who built it .There are many legends and mysteries about Stonehenge .It was once believed that Stonehenge was built by the Druids (巫师)。Some believe that the site was used by early astronomers(天文学家)and others suggest that the site was used as a burial ground for important people .Because of the size of the stones ,the complexity(复杂性) of their arrangement and the efforts that must have gone in to its construction ,it is reasonable to assume(认为) that the site was built to serve some significant(重大的)purpose .The Pyramids, the Great Wall ,and Stonehenge are all symbols(象征) of their countries and their cultures .They are all large structures that were built by many people The structures once had a practical importance (burial site,defense(防御)，magic )but now they have largely symbolical(象征性的) value .The structures were originally（起初 built for-the Pharaohs(法老)埃及古代的国王 ，the Emperor,the druids-but now they belongto people .There are several ways to justify (证明)their importance to us today : money (from tourism),culture,history,etc. LISTENING Listen to the tape and finish the listening textSPEAKING Task for studends:make a dialogue using the useful expressions in the chart and ask them to practice .Language points :1.base .onupon 把。建立在。的基础上 以。为根据Eg.
