You have learned of the pyramids of Egypt. Now, the following is telling about the pyramids of Mexico.‎ The people of Mexico didn’t build the pyramids for tombs. They built a pyramid and then built a temple on the top of it. The pyramids of Mexico are not as high as the pyramids of Egypt. But they are big enough. Each pyramid has a wide stairway (台阶) to go from the bottom to the top.‎ The biggest pyramid in Mexico is almost 2,000 years old. Scientists think it took 10,000 men more than ten years to build it. How were the people of Mexico able to build the pyramids thousands of years ago? How did they carry and lift the huge stones? Each stone fits so well and they didn’t have our modern machines. Nobody can tell just how people built them. Some day if you can, you should go to see the pyramids.‎ True or false （ 判断下列句子是否符合短文内容， 符合的用“ T ”表示，不符合的用“ F ” 表示。 填入空格内 ）5%‎ 1.

But scientific experiments（科学实验） do little to support（支持） this idea.. Going back to the America of 1910, we find that people were thinner than today, yet they ate more food. In those days people worked harder, walked more, used machines less, and didn’t watch television.‎ ‎ Some modern studies have shown that fatter people do not eat more on average than thinner people. In fact, some research （研究）work, such as in 1979 the study of 3,545 London office workers, reports that fat people eat less than thinner people on the average.‎ ‎ Studies show that thin people are more active(活动) than fat people. A study by a research group found the following interesting fact: The more a man ran, the greater body fat (脂肪) he lost; The more he ran, the greater was his need for food. So those who ran the most ate the most , and lost the greatest amount of body fat.‎ ‎ Choose the best answer (根据短文内容， 选择最恰当的答案， 用A、B、C或D表示， 填入空格内) 5%‎ 1.

In the United States nearly half of the population（ 人口）are young persons under twenty-five. Many of them will soon be in charge of (负责管理)the country. So their ideas are important to everyone in the country, and it is necessary for older people to understand what young people think and feel. ‎ ‎ College students today have strong opinions (看法，观点)about right and wrong.. They are interested in making a better life. They see much that is wrong in the lives of their parents. It is hard for them to see what is right and good in the older ways.
