Two careful and brave children--Benjamin,12, and his sister Emily, 11, found a stolen(被偷的) car in the woods（树丛） yesterday morning. The happy owner, Mrs Judy Roberts,said she would thank them by taking then out to dinner.
Both Benjamin and Emily like hiking. They were walking along a path through the woods near their home. And they noticed a car. They were surprised because very few people parked their cars there. They looked inside the car and there was nobody in it. The children thought something went wrong. They made a note of the type of the car and its colour. Benjamin also wrote down its number. When they went back to their school, they told their teacher about the car. The teacher reported （报告）it to the police.
Soon the police found the owner, Mrs Judy Roberts. “I really have to thank Benjamin and Emily. I’m going to write to the local newspaper and their headmaster（校长） to thank them” she said. Benjamin and Emily’s teachers felt proud(自豪的). “Benjamin and Emily are not only students but also good members of the community” they all said.

If you go to Egypt, you’ll see a lot of pyramids. The biggest of all is the Great Pyramid. It is about 137 meters high and made of 2,300,000 big stones. Each stone weighs about two and a half tons（吨）.The biggest ones even weigh fifteen tons. It took more than 100,000 men twenty years to build it. Nobody can tell just how the men cut, carried and lifted（举）the huge stones without our modern machines（机器）.
The Egyptian kings told the people to build the pyramids for themselves. They thought they had tombs （坟墓）strong enough to keep their bodies well until they came back to life. But they never thought that about 5,000 years later their bodies would be on show in museums.
