As trees grow old they add a new ring for each year, this discovery, it seems, was first made by
Leonardo da Vinci, the famous Italian painter and scientist. It took a long time, however, before the
serious study of tree rings started; this was done in Arizona by Andrew Ellicott Douglas.
Douglas developed a simple technique for dating trees called cross-dating and for a period of
over twenty years continued the study of tree rings. He spent much of his time in logging camps
near Flagstaff.
The Douglas method has been used by many scientists. Some of them used it to examine logs in
Indian pueblo ruins; they were able to date the buildings right back to the tenth century. Others used
it to date the world's oldest living trees, the bristlecone pines.
1. Leonardo became famous because of his tree ring discovery.

Good morning everyone and welcome to Stonebridge House. My name is David and I’m your
tour guide. This morning, I’m going to show you around this wonderful 19th century house
which was the home of the Reynold family for more than 150 years, until 1975 when it
became a national museum.
We are now standing in the main lobby of the house where you can see the manigficent
wooden staircase that leads up to the bedrooms. The servants used to sleep in the attic but they
would have useda different staircase to this one. Now if we go through the dining room you
will be able to see a fine collection of paintings. George Reynold was abig fan of traditional
art as we can se here today. George came from a military family. Surprisingly, however, he
became a lawyer , even though his father had wanted him to be an officer in the army.

Five- colored sticky rice is an important traditional dish of many ethnic minorities in the
northern mountainous regions. People call the dish five-colored sticky rice because it has five
colors: red, yellow, green, purple and white. The things that create the colors are not chemicals
but natural roots and leaves. The five colors of the dish represent five elements of life
according to Vietnamese beliefs: yellow is earth, red is fire, green is plants, white is metal, and
purple or black is water. People believe that these five elements create harmony between
heaven and earth. Five-colored sticky rice is usually made and enjoyed at Tet, in festivals and
ceremonies, on special occasions, and whenever the family has guests.
