6.During the Middle Ages,kings and noblemen built castles for defense.The king and his family and their servants lived in the castle.The king owned the land around the castle,and it was farmed by peasants.In return,the peasants had small plots of land.The peasants didn't get paid,but they raised their own food on their plots of land.The king also protected the peasants from danger.Workers made the first castles out of wood,but that didn't work very well.Stone made better,stronger castles,but it was much more expensive.Brave workers had to use high scaffolding (脚手架) to build those walls.Sometimes,the walls were 115feet tall!
Castles changed over many years.Later castles had double walls that were called curtain walls.If the castle was attacked,the attackers had to break through two walls.Usually,the inner wall was higher than the outer one.During an attack,the drawbridge (吊桥) into the castle was raised.The walls had long narrow openings in them so that soldiers could fire arrows through the holes safely.
A large castle took many years to build.A whole army of builders carried out the project under the direction of a master worker.Workers cut and shaped the huge stones.They used mallets (木槌) and chisels (凿子) so the stones fit together well,and they used mortar (灰泥) to stick the stones together.The walls were built with a double row of stone bricks.
