Teotihuacan was once one of the world's ...

    Teotihuacan was once one of the world's most important cities, but many things about it are still unknown today. How did the people live , and why did they abandon(放弃)their city? For years, answers to some of those questions have been buried in the Pyramid of the Moon. Now, findings in this ancient structure are helping archeologists learn more about Teotiuacan's people and their culture.

Until recently many experts thought Teotihuacan was a peaceful society mostly ruled by gentle and wise leaders. But recent findings in the Pyramid of the Moon show something else. Archeologists discovered a number of headless bodies. Most were foreigners, and other objects of power. Clearly the people and objects found inside the pyramid were offerings.

However, the findings in the pyramid are difficult to interpret. "These findings are like sentences." says archeologist Leonardo Lopez Lujan," but we don't have all the words… so they're hard to read." Despite these problems, several archeologists have concluded this; Teotihuacan was not a society governed by peaceful rulers. " In reality, officials used human sacrifice(祭品)says archeologist Saburo Sugiyama," to control the people. "The city probably also had a powerful army.

Who were the city leaders? Scientists don't know. They have not found a king buried in the pyramid or any status of Teotihuacan's rulers. But archeologists continue to search for them. They hope to learn more about the pyramid's creators and one of the world's most powerful ancient cities.

    Nearly all of us have a bad habit, whether we know it or not. Some people say they want to get rid of(摆脱)it but don't know the proper ways. Here's some advice on how to get rid of bad habits.

Make a list. Write down why you want to stop a certain behaviour, how it's hurting you and how to get rid of it. This will help a lot. Look at that list regularly.

Join in other activities. It's wise of you to do something else when you want to stop your bad habits. If you get angry easily, for example, you can practise having a deep breath or going for a walk.

Give yourself a present. Before you take action against a bad habit, decide what you'll do to celebrate it if you reach your goal,

Keep off bad habits. If you are fat and want to lose weight, keep junk food out of your house.If you are a heavy smoker with coffee, turn to tea and keep away from friends who like smoking.

Be patient. Bad habits develop over years, so you probably won’t be able to get rid of them quickly. In fact, people often give up several times before being successful, so you should be patient.

Find support. Don't be afraid to ask for support from friends, family or other people who have the same bad habits as you. When you talk to others, they might be able to provide advice or encouragement that you usually wouldn't get from yourself.

I'm worried that you've been addicted to share pictures in WeChat circle recently. You even share all sorts of photo in your daily life. Of course, WeChat makes better to understand each other and makes our life more colorful, which is very convenient for us to communicate with. However, there exist some potential trouble if we overshare. One severe problem is leaking privacy, that may cause economic losses. Besides, oversharing can make others uncomfortably, for they think you are showing off.

Thus, neither should we post our personal information, or should we blindly add strangers to a list of friends. It's much wise to set aside some time to accompany parents or do something more meaningful, such as reading books or taking exercise.
