With a history of about 5,000 years, Stonehenge is one of the world wonders. It’s a circle of stones of different heights. The stones used to be about 200 kilometers away. Now people still wonder how these people moved the huge stones without machines’ help.
Louvre Museum
No visit to Paris is complete without a trip to Louvre Museum, one of the largest and most famous art museums in the world. About 35,000 works of art from different centuries are on show, of which the Mona Lisa is the best-known.
Mount Qomolangma
Heavy snow, cold wind and thin oxygen (氧气), Mount Qomolangma seems to say no to any climber who dreams about making it to the top of the world. Tenzing and Edmund were the earliest to arrive at the top, but they were up there for just 15 minutes before coming down.
Lake District National Park
In the north of England lies Lake District National Park, which is very beautiful, with hills, lakes and forest. Most tourists enjoy walking around the lakes and climbing mountains. Lake District National Park is also a perfect place to paint the beautiful countryside.

【推荐3】What is the best way to catch someone who is lying? For a long time, the traditional way was to watch their body language. Many people depend on this way. But does a person’s body and face tell the truth? No.
Talking is the best way to catch a man lying. A new report in the United Kingdom found out the result. The research was carried out at an airport. If you are lying there, you’ll get into trouble.
The researchers asked volunteers to talk with airport security agents. Some of the researchers used talking methods to find out who is lying. Others depended on the person's body language, like eye contact. The agents talking with the passengers were 20 times more likely to catch the liars. The research found that these talking methods can help you to find a person who is lying to you.
You can use the following ways to find out who is lying when you are talking.
First, look for small facts.
Ask people something about their story and look for facts that you don't agree with each other. But do not let them know what you know. Just let them dig themselves deeper into a hole.
Second, watch their speaking ways.
People will often change their speaking ways when they are lying. For example, when they feel in control they may talk too much. But if they feel they are losing control, they may not talk much at all.
