In fact, it’s over 21,000 kilometres long. It winds its way from west to east, across deserts, over mountains, through valleys till at last it reaches the sea. It is one of the wonders of the world. The Great Wall has a history of over 2,000 years. The first part of it was built during the Spring and Autumn Period. During the Warring States Period more walls were built to defend the borders of the different kingdoms. Later, the Qin dynasty united the different parts into one empire. To keep the enemy out of his empire, Qin Shi Huang had all the walls joined up. The Great Wall is wide enough on the top for five horses or ten men to walk side by side. Along the wall are watchtowers, where soldiers used to watch enemies. They lit fires on the towers as a warning when the enemy came. It was very difficult to build such a wall in ancient times without any modern machines. All the work was done by hand. Thousands of men died and were buried under the wall they built. The Great Wall was made not only of stone and earth, but of the flesh and blood of millions of men. Today the Great Wall has become a place of interest not only to the Chinese but to people from all over the world. There’s a famous Chinese saying—He who has never been to the Great Wall is not a true man. 回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过6个词。 56.
