Many people come to visit Guilin       its fantastic landscape.

The Great Wall       more than 2,000 years ago.

     The Great Pyramid of Giza is one of the wonders of the ancient world. It was b       more than 4,000 years ago in Egypt. It is so p        that millions of tourists from around the world come to visit it every year.

    In Egypt there are about 100 pyramids and the l       one is the Great Pyramid of Giza. It l       on the west bank of the Nile. In fact, all the pyramids along the Nile are on the west bank. The ancient Egyptians compared the rising of the sun to the beginning of life and the setting of the sun to the end of life. That is w        their dead bodies were buried(埋葬) on the west bank of the Nile.

     You can h       imagine how huge the Great Pyramid of Giza is. It has over 2 million stones. Some are as heavy as five school buses. A        they were heavy, workers were able to put a block into the pyramid every three minutes.

     The workers--Egyptian men and women worked in teams. The teams had different t       Some dug up the stones. Some moved them. Some cut the stones. The last team put the stones into the pyramid. There were so many different teams but the pyramid is perfect. No stone is in the w       position.

     But how did the Egyptians move those heavy stones to the top w       any modern machinery (机械) ? No one knows for sure. Many things about the Great Pyramid of Giza are still a mystery.

    When I was not adding little things to my new home, I was busy learning about the animals and plants on the island, and about myself.

    I discovered that the birds that lived in holes and rocks were good to eat.

    One day I found an old bag that I wanted to use to store things in. Some old corn fell out of this bag and made roots in the dirt. Soon green barley grew from the seeds. When I saw these plants, I cried. They reminded me of England. When I was young I wanted to leave England for a life of adventure at sea, but now that I was trapped alone, I only wanted to return.

    One day, when I was sitting by my little cave, I heard a terrible noise. The next moment much dirt came falling down the hill. There was so much of it that I was afraid it would swallow(吞没) me! I ran away and climbed over my fence using a ladder I had made. I realized that the island was being shaken by a terrible earthquake.

    The earthquake soon ended, but then a terrible storm began. The sea became black and violent(猛烈的) and full of huge waves that crashed onto the beach. Thunder roared and lightning hit the water. The storm lasted for three hours, but when it finished, it began to rain. This was not the gentle, calm rain of England, but a rain so hard and terrible that I had to cut a hole in my fence to let the water pour out. Otherwise, my house would have been drowned(淹没) !
