【题目】A

For centuries Stonehenge has mystified and enraptured archaeologists and visitors. So maybe it is not surprising that another monumental wonder from prehistory has been overlooked for so long even though it is just a mile away.

Experts have discovered an “extraordinary” line of giant stones that dates back more than 4,500 years. The area around Stonehenge is littered with prehistoric sights but the 90 or more stones, lying 3ft underground, have only just been discovered by sophisticated radar equipment towed by radar equipment.

The buried monoliths are each up to 15ft tall. Instead of being arranged in a circle as they are at Stonehenge, it is thought they once formed a long standing line.

“We are looking at one of the largest stone monuments in Europe and it has been under our noses for something like 4,000 years,” said Professor Vince Gaffney, from the University of Bradford, one of the archaeologists leading the research. “It’s truly remarkable. We don’t think there’s anything quite like this anywhere else in the world. This is completely new and the scale is extraordinary.”

Prof. Gaffney believes the stones may have been planted by the same people who built Stonehenge, but he doubts whether there is a direct link between the two monuments.

These stones were placed along a steep slope, cut into a natural dry valley to form a C-shaped feature.

Precisely why the stones were put there remains a mystery. The archaeologists believe that at some stage the stones were pushed over. This was not done to damage the monument but rather to preserve whatever it was about the stones that seemed so important. “There was a transformation in the landscape that we do not understand,” Prof. Gaffney said. “The stones had significance. These were special places. Societies were organized, as with the great cathedrals, to create these things.”

Keeping a cool head about fire safety. Sadly, many families lose their homes every year to fires. The causes of these fires vary. Sometimes electrical wiring gets too hot. Sometimes food is forgotten in the oven or a dish towel falls onto a burner.

Sometimes people are careless with matches, candles or cigarettes. Whatever the cause, home fires take familieshome, possessions and sometimes even lives.

Heading Off Trouble: There are many things you can do to prevent fires in your home. Do a safety check with your parents. Make sure that all smoke alarms in the house work. Monthly tests are a good idea. Check to see that toasters are unplugged when not used and that towels, curtains and some other flammable(易燃)things are out of the way of the stovetop and oven. Look at the electrical outlets(插座)to make sure that they are in working order and not overloaded. If you have a fireplace, put a strong screen in front of it to keep fires from coming into the room.

The Great Escape: Even with careful checks, fires can still happen. That is why it is important for families to have a fire safety plan. First, plan two escape routes from every room in the house, if possible. That way, if smoke or flames are coming in one way, there is still another choice. Second, agree on an outside meeting place like a tree or light pole so that everyone will know where to go. Finally, practice your fire escape plan at least twice a year. If your home has a second floor, make sure everyone practices, from a first-floor window, how to use a safety ladder to escape.

A fire can be a scary experience, but being smart about fire prevention, having a plan for fire safety and putting the plan into action in the event of fire can save lives.
