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.

"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.

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.
