Most teenagers kill time playing video games, or surfing web pages.But it's not so for William Gadoury, a 14－year－old from Quebec.William Gadoury has been crazy about the Mayans (玛雅人) for most of his childhood, ever since his grandparents bought him books about the civilization.What started as a hobby at age 12 snowballed into serious research, and he theorized that the locations of Mayan cities might correspond to stars in Mayan constellations (星座)．
Using ancient books, Gadoury analyzed 22 Mayan constellation maps and covered the positions onto HERE WeGo images of the Yucatán Peninsula, which to this day is home to large local populations and some best－preserved architecture from Mayan culture.He would track the constellations from HERE WeGo using special sheets, covering them onto the position of Mayan cities on a paper map.The teen was able to show that 117 Mayan cities matched up with the position of the stars, with the brightest stars representing bigger cities.
But when Gadoury was working on the 23rd Mayan constellation, he found a conflict： three stars, but only two ancient cities on HERE WeGo.The third star pointed to a location on the Mexico－Belize border.However, the area was covered with thick jungle, leaving Gadoury stuck.
Luckily, he asked Canadian Space Agency (CSA) for images from their RADARSAT－2 satellite.Indeed, there was a square, man－made－looking structure in the heavy forest.Gadoury then learned a fire had swept across the region, thinning out the grass cover.He found images from the agency, and eventually concluded that there was indeed a city there.
Gadoury's findings eventually took him into the jungle in 2022 to search on foot, along with scientist Francisco Estrada－Belli.The team discovered a farming village deep in the Mexican jungle, which showed the “backbone” of the Maya's long－term success, which was down to their ability to work the land and support large cities.
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。与其他孩子不同，14岁的男孩Gadoury专心研究玛雅文明，和一个科学家一起发现了一个玛雅农庄。

Discoveries at the famous Sanxingdui ruins in Southwest China show that the region's ancient Shu Kingdom civilization shared similarities with the Mayan civilization.
The Sanxingdui ruins belonged to the Shu Kingdom that existed at least 4,800 years ago and lasted more than 2,000 years, while the Mayan civilization built its city－states around 200 CE.
The bronze－made remains of trees unearthed at the ruins of the Shu Kingdom resemble the sacred ceiba tree, which symbolized the union of the world in the Mayan civilization.“It is a very important similarity，” says Santos，a Mexican archaeologist, stressing that “The representations of trees in both cultures provide a symbolic significance that is very similar”．
The findings at the Sanxingdui ruins, considered one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of the 20th century, also show a new aspect of Bronze Age culture, indicating the ancient civilization already had technologies that were thought to have been developed much later.
While the time span between the Shu Kingdom and the Mayan culture is great, the findings highlight the closeness between the two civilizations.They developed in areas with comparable climates and reflected their worldview through related symbols.“In the end, man is still man, independent of time and space.What we have is that, at this latitude (纬度), both the Shu people and the Mayans looked at the same sky and had the same stars on the horizon，” the expert says.
One notable feature of the discoveries at Sanxingdui was the cross－subject work and technology applied by teams of Chinese archaeologists, which allowed the unearthing of artifacts as fragile as silk remains, which other types of less careful digging methods would not have been able to register.
Cooperation between Chinese and Mexican archaeologists could benefit projects in the Mayan world，where the rainy climate and humidity are problematic for the conservation of ruins.
“Every time our cultural knowledge increases, regardless of whether we speak one language or another, what it shows us is that we continue to be sister cultures and, therefore, the exchange of such knowledge is fundamental，” says Santos.

Why do more and more people show interest in cultural heritage these days 13 Maybe it's because technology has made it easier to learn about our ancestors.Here's a list of several ways to connect you with your cultural heritage.
If you aren't sure where your ancestors are from, a DNA test can be a good way.Companies like Family Tree DNA will sell you a testing box that teaches you what to do. 14 There have been concerns about the safety — your DNA information sold to companies without asking you.If a DNA test isn't your cup of tea, you can try several other ways.
One of the most enjoyable ways to learn about your family tree is sitting down with an older relative to chat about it.Talk in person with a grandparent, great－grandparent, or any other family member who's been around long enough to tell you about the past. 15
16 So one way to bridge the gap between your family's past and present is to cook a traditional meal.If your ancestors are from Italy, you can learn how to host an Italian dinner party.Invite some relatives to share your common heritage over a meal.
Learning a language is a unique way to connect with your ancestors and culture. 17 Once you've known the language of your ancestors, you may want to get in touch with your heritage by picking up the basics of that language.
A．Food is part of your cultural heritage.
B．This is a great way to learn about your ancestors.
C．You generally get your test results within a few weeks.
D．It can also let you meet new people and have more experiences.
E．Food can help you feel like you're truly experiencing that culture.
F．People are eager to learn as much about their ancestors as possible.
G．Perhaps they want to have a sense of belonging in our globalized world.

Most teenagers kill time playing video games, or surfing web pages.But it's not so for William Gadoury, a 14 year old from Quebec.William Gadoury has been crazy about the Mayans (玛雅人) for most of his childhood, ever since his grandparents bought him books about the civilization.What started as a hobby at age 12 snowballed into serious research, and he theorized that the locations of Mayan cities might correspond to stars in Mayan constellations (星座)．
Using ancient books, Gadoury analyzed 22 Mayan constellation maps and covered the positions onto HERE WeGo images of the Yucatán Peninsula, which to this day is home to large local populations and some best preserved architecture from Mayan culture.He would track the constellations from HERE WeGo using special sheets, covering them onto the position of Mayan cities on a paper map.The teen was able to show that 117 Mayan cities matched up with the position of the stars, with the brightest stars representing bigger cities.
But when Gadoury was working on the 23rd Mayan constellation, he found a conflict: three stars, but only two ancient cities on HERE WeGo.The third star pointed to a location on the Mexico Belize border.However, the area was covered with thick jungle, leaving Gadoury stuck.
Luckily, he asked Canadian Space Agency (CSA) for images from their RADARSAT 2 satellite.Indeed, there was a square, man made looking structure in the heavy forest.Gadoury then learned a fire had swept across the region, thinning out the grass cover.He found images from the agency, and eventually concluded that there was indeed a city there.
Gadoury's findings eventually took him into the jungle in 2022 to search on foot, along with scientist Francisco Estrada Belli.The team discovered a farming village deep in the Mexican jungle, which showed the “backbone” of the Maya's long term success, which was down to their ability to work the land and support large cities.

A．The villages in the Mexican jungle.
B．The images from CSA satellites.
C．The origins of Mayan culture.

C．Fund shortage. D．Bad weather.
4．Which of the following best describes Gadoury

Since the city's fame has risen, locals in Pingyao have deepened their understanding of the conservation efforts preserving the historical relics in their hometown.Meanwhile the city administration has continued to upgrade itself through a strategy that follows the pillars (核心) of “conservation, entrepreneurship, development and protection”．
Currently, the city is focused on establishing a sustainable industry that will enable it to continue to grow while also protecting its relics and introducing them to the world.
