The seven included the Hanging Gardens of Babylon in present-day Iraq, The Statue of Zeus in Greece, and the Pyramid of Cheops in Egypt. The pyramid is the only wonder you can still see today. Many people claim that there were other wonders, which the ancient Greeks knew nothing about. These include the Great Wall of China, the Taj Mahal in India and Angkor Watt in Cambodia.
Angkor Watt should really be known as a wonder because it is the largest temple in the world. The temple was built around the year 1100 to honor a Hindu God, but over the next three centuries it became a Buddhist religiour center. The area surrounding the temple, Angkor Thom, used to be the royal capital city.
1. Who compiled a list of seven wonders of the world?
2. Why should Angkor Watt really be known as a wonder?
3. Did Angkor Thom use to be the royal capital city?

The Statue of Liberty and the Liberty Bell
In America, two monuments symbolize the ideal of freedom that the country holds dear. The Statue of Liberty and the Liberty Bell represent freedom in different ways. The Statue of Liberty brings about feelings of hope for freedom to immigrants who enter the USA. The Liberty Bell commemorates the struggle for freedom that marks America’s past.
In the past, the Statue of Liberty was the first thing people saw when their boats approached America. The statue stands over 45 meters tall. It was given as a gift to the United States in 1885 by France. The date was chosen to mark the centennial of the establishment of the United States.
The sculpture is made of copper. The internal structure was designed by Gustave Eiffel, who also designed the famous tower bearing his name in Paris. The statue is located on Liberty Island in New York Harbor. In her right hand Lady Liberty holds a torch. It is meant to light the way of freedom across the land. In her left hand she holds a tablet with the date 1776 inscribed on it. This is to commemorate the year America declared its independence from Great Britain. It is possible to go inside the statue. Many people enjoy climbing the stairs to enter her head and torch.
The Liberty Bell is located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and is most famous for being rung on July 8, 1776. It was rung to summon citizens for the first public reading of the Declaration of Independence. It was also rung in 1774 to announce the opening of the first Continental Congress. Inside the bell is cast an inscription from the Bible’s Leviticus 25:10. This passage states, “Proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof.” The Liberty Bell was originally cast in 1752. It got its famous crack in 1753 the first time it was rung.
In 1965, the FBI uncovered a plot by terrorists to destroy the Statue of Liberty and the Liberty Bell. But these attacks on the symbols of freedom were quickly stopped.

About 300 years ago,London was starting to get bigger. The city was very dirty and many people were poor.There were so many thieves who stole money in the streets that people stayed in their homes as much as possibe.
In 1750, Henry Fielding started to pay a group of people to stop thieves.They were like policemen and were called"Bow Street Runners" because they worked near Bow Street.
Fifty years later, there were 120 Bow Street RUnners, but London had become very big and needed more policemen.So, in 1929, the first Metropolitan(or London) Police Force was started with 3000 officers. most od the men worked on foot, but a few rode horses.Until 1920 all the police in London were men.
Today,London police are quite well paid and for the few police officers who still ride horses, the pay is even better than for the others
