Is there a monster in the water？

　　Does an ancient monster live in Scotland’s Loch Ness(尼斯湖)?For centuries, many people have argued that “Nessie”, the Loch Ness Monster, does exist．On July 22, 1933, Mr．and Mrs．George Spicer were driving alongside the lake．All of a sudden, their car nearly struck a huge, black, long-necked creature, which then entered the lake．This was the first time Nessie was brought to public attention．

　　To date there have been over 3000 recorded sightings of the monster but no one has come up with any solid evidence that it does exist．

　　Scientists are still using high-tech equipment to search the lake and thousands of people visit the area each year in the hope of seeing the monster．And some believe they have got lucky：there are new sightings of Nessie every year．

　　Stonehenge, the most famous prehistoric monument in Britain, is situated on Salisbury Plain in the county of Wiltshire．At various times regarded as a site built by the Druids, the Romans, the Danes and even the French, the first stage－a circular ditch and bank with an entrance flanked by a pair of small standing stones－is believed to have been built around 3000 BC．The site was subsequently(随后)abandoned and rebuilt between 2100 BC and 1800 BC．

　　There are many mysteries surrounding this ancient site．Some of the stones used are thought to have come from the Preseli mountains in Pembrokeshire, Wales－yet exactly how they were transported to the site in such a primitive(原始的)age is a puzzle．Experts believe they may have been transported for most of the way by water, before being dragged overland for the last stage of the journey．

　　It has been suggested that Stonehenge once operated as a massive astronomical clock, and there are even suggestions that it was a landing site for UFOs(Unidentified Flying Objects)! A more likely explanation is that Stonehenge was an important centre of worship connected with the sun．
