Do you believe stones can move by themselves? There are some stones that can move in Death Valley of the USA. Many of the stones are small, but a few of them are big. The biggest stone weighs about 350 kg.
The stones only move at night. Nobody has seen them moving, but now scientists know why the stones can move. The answer is the wind. When the wind comes from the west, the stones move to the east(东). When the wind is from the south, they always move to the north. But how can the wind move the heavy stones?
Death Valley is one of the hottest places in the world, but it can be very cold at night. Sometimes, there are even storms at night. Rain falls, and the wind is strong and cold. The water on the ground turns into ice(冰) easily. Then the strong wind can move the stones along the flat(平的) ground. In the morning, the sun comes up and dries the ground. Then people can find the stones move from one place to another in the daytime.

Researchers found that people who go to live concerts and museums live longer than those who do not. Experts from a London university looked at over 6,700 British people for 15 years. They examined how often the people went out and where they went. They found that over-50s who regularly went to concerts were around 30 percent less likely to die in the next 14 years. The over-50s could lengthen their lives by looking at “beautiful arts”. These include art centers, concerts, museums, and the opera and theater. In addition, people who often go to concerts could have more fun.
The lead researcher said money was important in whether or not people went to concerts. She wrote, “Over 40 percent of people in the least wealthy group reported that they never took part in cultural activities.” The UK Health Secretary believes the research. He said arts and culture could improve things like mental health, ageing and loneliness. The UK’s National Health Service will use the arts to improve people’s happiness and health. The researcher said, “I hope more and more people will have more chances to go to concerts, museums, art centers and so on.”
