III.阅读理解
A
Stonehenge(巨石阵)may have been a prehistoric health center rather than a site for observing stars or a temple in honor of the dead, scientists said yesterday. New evidence unearthed at the World Heritage Site in more than 40 years suggests that the monument was a place where the diseased and injured went in groups, seeking cures.
After a twoweek dig, scientists have concluded that Stonehenge was “the ancient healthcare centre of southern England” because of the existence of “bluestones”—the smaller columns of dolerite(辉绿岩)that formed an earlier stone structure.
By dating pieces of remains to around 7330BC, Tim Darvill, of Bournemouth University, and Goff Wainwright, of the Society of Amtiquaries have found that huntergatherers were at the site on Salisbury Plain 4,000 years earlier than thought. The first stage of Stonehenge, a round earthwork structure, was built around 3000BC. Professor Wainwright added: “I did not expect the degree of complexity we discovered. We're able to say so much more about when Stonehenge was built and why—all of which changes our previous understanding of the monument.”
The research reveals the importance of the henge's famous bluestones. Hundreds of bluestone chips gathered at the site have led the team to conclude that the bluestones were valued for their curing effects—the key reason that about 80 of them, each weighing up to 4 tons and a half, were dragged more than 150 miles from the Preseli Hills to Wiltshire. After years of research, Professors Darvill and Wainwright have concluded that, for thousands of years, the Preseli mountain range was home to magical health centers and holy wells.
Even today there are those who believe in the curing powers of the springs for coughs and heart disease, and people who use crystals and bluestones for selfcuring. Radiocarbon tests have also revealed that the construction of the original bluestone circle took place around 2300BC, three centuries later than originally thought. Interestingly, on the same day died the “Amesbury Archer”—a sick traveler from the Swiss or German Alps who had an infected knee—whose remains were discovered about five miles from Stonehenge. The professors believe that he was a devoted religious person who was hoping to benefit from the curing powers of the monument.
文章大意：巨石阵研究又出新结果。巨石阵是一处史前康复中心而非原先所认为的观星台或庙宇。

Nick Goldsmith remembers the moment he decided to become a hospice(收容所)volunteer.His mother was telling him a story about a friend who worked at a hospice, about how one day, she was walking past a patient's door when the patient cried out to her.But there was nothing wrong, he only wanted some companionship.He didn't want to be alone, so she sat with him.Goldsmith thought to himself, “There's no reason I can't do that.”
Not only did he do it, but he started a student volunteer program at Dowling Catholic High School to ensure the work he started at Taylor House Hospice will continue after he graduates.Last month, Iowa Health Hospice honored Goldsmith, 18, for his volunteer work with the organization by naming a $500 annual scholarship for him, which will be open to any student who volunteers with Iowa Health Hospice.
“That was by far the least we could do to recognize Nick，” Susie Flood said.“He hasn't just given of his own time and energy, but he's encouraged others to do the same.” Goldsmith hadn't had any experience with hospice before entering the door of Taylor House.He chose it because his mother's friend, whose story had forced him to volunteer, works there.
“They're really excited about my being there and there's a real need for teen volunteers，” Goldsmith said.“The principal at Dowling approved my being able to offer service hours to anyone who would like to volunteer.”Students must earn a certain number of service, or community—service, hours to graduate from Dowling.When Goldsmith leaves Des Moines next fall to attend college, he'll give up leading the hospice service—learning program.“I want us, as Dowling students, to keep making a difference，”he said.“It's easy to talk about things you can do to help people，but what many teenagers don't realize is how good it can make you feel inside.”
