2．FOR thousands of years，Stonehenge has confused visitors with a seemingly unanswerable question：Why would anyone carry so many huge stones across Britain and put them in a ring？It seems even stranger when you think of the fact that it was done by prehistoric people working without modern technology，not even a wheel．
Stonehenge has started endless debates over the centuries．Experts have said at different times that it was a temple，a calendar （日历） or a graveyard （墓地）．
Yet"all the ideas to date could be mistaken，"said Julian Spalding，a famous art critic （评论家） and former director of some of the UK's leading museums．"We've been looking at Stonehenge the wrong way：from the earth，which is very much a 20th century viewpoint，"he told The Guardian．
Spalding has put forward a new theory about Stonehenge in his latest book，Realisation：From Seeing to Understanding．"The current theories about Stonehenge are based on looking across the ground，which is a modern idea，"he writes in his new book．He told The Guardian that in ancient times，spiritual ceremonies didn't happen on the ground．Prehistoric people believed that in this way they could get closer to the heavens．So Spalding says that"rituals （仪式） at Stonehenge were performed in the same way-not among the stones，but on top of them，"reported The Washington Post．
He re-imagines a scene in his book，explaining how the mysterious site was used：Stonehenge held up a large，circular platform （平台）．It was a raised altar （圣坛） reached by stairs，and thousands of people might have worshipped （祈祷） there．
To support his theory，Spalding lists examples from ancient civilizations worldwide．In China，Peru and Turkey，such sacred （神圣的） monuments （遗迹） were built high up，whether on man-made or natural sites．In an interview with The Washington Post，Spalding said the wood that would have been used for the platform had long since rotted away （腐烂），leaving only the stone pillars （柱子） that supported it behind．
So far scholars have had"a fair degree of skepticism （怀疑）"about these ideas，according to The Huffington Post．Sir Barry Cunliffe，prehistorian and Oxford University archaeology （考古学） professor，said："He could be right，but I know of no evidence to support it…There are a large number of stone circles around the country which clearly didn't have a platform on top．So why should Stonehenge？"

16．While going through life with the pursuit of money on our mind，we're often told that money can't buy happiness．But what truth is there in the saying？Is there a relation between money and happiness？（36）D
Humans are very sensitive to change．When we get a rise，we really enjoy it．But some studies have shown that in North America，additional income beyond 75，000dollars a year stops impacting day-to-day happiness．（37）G They often end up spending all the money，going into debt，and experience ruined social relationships．
So surely money can't really buy happiness．Well，recent studies suggest that the problem may actually be in the way that we spend money．（38）CStudies show that people who spend their money on others feel happier．As for the people who spend money on themselves，their happiness is unchanged．
（39）A0ne experiment showed that instead of an organization writing a large check to a charity，dividing the amount up among employees，allowing them to contribute to a charity of their choice，increased their job satisfaction．Similarly，individuals that spend money on each other，as opposed to themselves，not only increase job satisfaction，but improve the team performance．
（40）EInterestingly，the specific way money is spent on others isn't important．Spending something on others is the important aspect of increasing your happiness．
A．The same principle has been tested on teams and organizations as well．
B．Money has more effect on the vast majority of people in the long run．
C．Instead of buying things for yourself，try giving some of it to other people and see how you feel．
D．And if so，how can we use it to our advantage？
E．Almost everywhere we look in the world，we see that giving money to others is positively related to happiness，
F．And while you're saving up for these greatest experiences，don't forget the daily joys in life．
G．In fact，people who win a lottery often report becoming extremely unhappy．

3．Some kids may assume that college is very much like their strict high school．But（41）actually （actual） there are lots of freedom at college：There's much more latitude （回旋余地，自由） in（42）choosing（choose） courses to take，（43）andstudents can focus primarily on subjects that interest them．Their schedule will vary widely，too．Some days they may have no（44）courses（course） until noon．Most courses may only meet three times a week．These are interesting details that not every youngste is aware of．
In（45）addition（add），students will meet many，many new friens．They'll be in a community，（46）where almost everyone is roughly the same age．Colleges（47）typically（type） feature scores of clubs，sports，and others activities and thus students aren't likely to be bored．Instead of being out in the working world，they'll be among new friends，（48）taking（take） many courses that interest them and enjoying a rich（49）social（society） life．
Another compelling（有强烈吸引力的） point is financial．According to the estimated figures，those who have received a college education will make to one's earning power．Obviously a good job today requires（50）atleast a college education．
