The great pyramids(金字塔) of Egypt were built more than 4,000 years ago as tombs(墳?zāi)? for the

kings of that time.In ancient Egypt(古埃及), people believed that when the kings died they became gods in the next life.

To be able to do this, the kings needed their bodies. So their bodies were kept and placed somewhere safe when they died. These kept bodies were called mummies(木乃伊).

The Egyptians thought that pyramids would be a safe place to put the mummies of the kings. They believed that placing the mummies in pyramids would help them to reach heaven, where they would make their new home.

The pyramids were not only tombs for the kings but also wonders of construction. For thousands of years, they were the largest buildings in the world. It wasn’t until the 20th century that bigger buildings were made. Even today, there aren’t many buildings that are taller than them.

The largest of the pyramids was built for Pharaoh Khufu. It is 138 metres tall. It is more than twice as tall as the Sydney Opera House.

Four ways to have a good school-life

Your schooldays should be some of the best and happiest days of your life. How can you get the most from them, and make sure you do not waste this excellent chance to learn?

Be active at school

Don’t say things are difficult or boring. Be interested in school-life and your school subjects. Join lots of activities. Put up your hands quickly in class. Go around the school with a big smile. If you are not working, you are wasting your time at school. Teachers can not make everything enjoyable.

Keep fit

If you do not eat a good breakfast, you will think about food in class. If you go to bed late and do not have enough sleep, you will be sleepy in class. Play enough sports every day to keep your body strong. At weekends, get together with your friends or join some clubs to make your life colourful.

Face the problem

Do not say you will do things tomorrow. If you get behind the class, it is very difficult to get back in front. You can not finish the race if you rest all the time. Everyone fails some exams, loses some matches and has bad days. Don’t let small problems seem very big and important. Don’t forget to ask for help. You are young, no one thinks you must do everything quite well!

Spend the weekends

Don't waste time lying in bed on Saturday or Sunday morning. Go and play a sport, get together with friends in the park to relax, learn the piano, or help someone with problems. If you don't want to go out, there are also a lot of things to do. You may read a book, practise English or help Mother with housework.

Follow our advice, and have a happy school-life!
