He is expected to press reluctant European8 for military action against Bosnia's Serbs if they do reject the apparently doomed Vance-Owen plan.

In the ancient world, as today, most boys played with some kinds of toys and most girls with some other. In societies where social roles are rigidly determined, boys pattern their play after the activities of their fathers and girls after the tasks of their mothers. This is true because boys and girls are being prepared, even in play, to step into the roles and responsibilities of the adult world.

The changes have been mostly in terms of craftsmanship, mechanics, and technology.

听力原文： The ancient Egyptians believed strongly in life after-death. They also believed that a person would need his body to exist in his afterlife. Therefore, they carefully preserved the body by treating it with spices and oils and wrapping it in a linen cloth. The wrapped body was then placed in a tomb. A body that is treated in this way is caned a mummy. Egyptian kings and nobles wanted to be certain that their mummies would be kept in safe places forever. They had great tombs built for themselves and their families. Many kings were buffed in secret tombs carved out of solid reek in places near Thebes called the Valley of the Kings. About eighty kings built towering pyramid-shaped stone tombs. These pyramids have become famous as one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. One of the most amazing things about these pyramids is that they were constructed without using wheels or heavy equipment to raise the rocks. Egyptians did not learn about the wheel until long after the pyramids were built. Workmen used levels to get large blocks of stone on and off sledges and hauled them into places over long ramps built around the pyramids. (20) A．Kings of ancient Egypt. B．Ancient Egyptian nobles.
