Para 1. Stonehenge is an ancient circle of stones in the south of England. It was built about 5,000 years ago. Every year, it attracts thousands of tourists to enjoy its beauty. They also wonder about how and why it was built.
Para 2. There are about 80 stones and each is about five meters tall. The stones were 380 kilometers away from where they were made. The ancient people had only wooden tools. To move the stones they probably used tree trunks (树干) to roll them along. So it was a wonder to build Stonehenge. Scientists say it took millions of man-hours to move and raise the heavy stones. How did people move these huge pieces of stone from the place so far? No one knows the answer. One record said the great stones were carried to England by huge magical (有魔力的) aliens! But we don't know.
Para 3. Some scientists believe that Stonehenge was a temple. Some believe it was place to bury dead people or perhaps it was used to study the stars and the sky at night. Others think it was even used to tell the time. Whatever the stones were used to do, they have always been the pride of British people.
Para 4. In modern times Stonehenge has become a huge hit with tourists.
