[03:55.08]Each side is shaped like a triangle.

[04:04.30]Pyramids were built in many parts of the world.
[04:09.13]but the most famous are in Egypt.
[04:13.00]More than four thousand years ago.
[04:16.73]and Egyptian king, named Zoser had the first pyramid built.
[04:23.16]It was a burial tomb for him when he died.
[04:27.21]Zoser's Step Pyramid near Cairo was the world's first all-stone structure.
[04:34.86]Later kings built other pyramids.
[04:38.70]Every king wanted his tomb to be the best.But Khufu outdid them all.
[04:45.26]He had the largest Pyramid build. It is the Great Pyramid.
[04:50.80]The Great Pyramid is over 450 feet high today and it was once highed.
[04:57.93]Each of the sides of the pyramid is 755 feet long.

[05:58.50]Passage Two
[06:01.77]Have you ever wondered how to get out of baby-sitting with your youngest brother or sister?
[06:08.40]Keep on thinking
[06:11.54]Maybe you can figure out a machine that will baby-sit for you.
[06:16.89]That's what a scientism. Dr.B.F.Skinner,has done.
[06:22.75]He has made a machine to look after babies.
[06:27.60]He calls this machine a "baby box.
[06:32.05]The baby box is about as big as a small bed.
[06:36.90]It is enclosed by glass on the sides and on top.
[06:42.05]The bottom of the box is like the floor of a small bed.
[06:47.51]It is always the same temperature in the box.
[06:52.26]This means that in winter the baby never needs extra clothes or cover.
[06:59.32]Because the baby doesn't have to wear heavy clothes.
[07:04.18]it can move around freely.
[07:08.02]In summer the baby never gets too hot.
[07:12.59]It is also less likely to get sick
[07:16.64]-- because there are no drafts in the box.
[07:20.87]In the box,the baby can't hear any outside noise.
[07:26.20]But you can always hear the baby if it cried.
[07:30.82]And taking care of the baby box is easy,too.
[07:35.76]to clean it,you just press a switch.
[07:39.70]The sheet on the bottom of the box rolls through until a clean sheet appears.
[07:46.05]To try out the baby box,Dr.Skinner uses it for his baby daughter.
[07:52.79]He says she likes it very much.
[07:56.66]She plays in the box and sleeps in it
[08:00.89]just as other children stay in small beds.
[08:06.32]She will use the baby box until she is about three years old.
[08:11.96]One question is think when she finally leaves the baby box
[08:18.00]how will she like our world of dirt and noise?
[08:22.65]15. What can you do by pressing a switch?
[08:27.72]16. In summer, why does the baby never get too hot?
[08:34.35]17. What does "baby-sit" probably mean?

[08:48.27]he was absent-minder .
[08:51.93]One day he left work at the usual time,six o'clock.
[08:57.68]He felt very cold outside,and he didn't understand why but of course.

[09:10.37]He went back to the office and got his coat.
[09:14.53]On the way home he went to the club.
[09:18.18]He usually saw his friends there on Tuesday.
[09:22.44]That day he didn't see them.They weren't there.
[09:27.09]Then he remembered: It wasn't Tuesday; it was Wednesday!
[09:33.83]Mr.Newton arrived home at eight o'clock.
[09:38.30]and his family wasn't home. He waited,and he worried about them.

[09:59.61]and their mother takes them to the park.
