This site is near the city of Dunhuang in the northwestern Chinese province of Gansu. This ancient city was once an

So, Dunhuang was a center where not only trade, but also cultural, religious(宗教的), and information exchanges took place.The Mogao Grottoes are famous for their statues and wall paintings. The Mogao Grottoes have as many as 492 caves. Inside these, more than
23、2,000 painted statues and about 45,000 square meters of wall paintings can be found.The first temple in the Mogao Grottoes was built in 366 AD. It is said that a monk(僧人) by the name of Yue Zun once travelled across the area. He had a dream in which a thousand golden Buddhas appeared. Therefore, the
24、 monk decided to build a temple. Soon, others followed Yue Zuns example, and built their own temples into the rock face.The following centuries saw the rise and fall of many dynasties in China. However, each new dynasty added to the artwork of the Mogao Grottoes. Activity in the Mogao Grottoes reach

29、table with your dog. You know you shouldnt give dogs human food, but when you look down, those cute puppy(小狗) eyes are almost impossible to refuse.Why does this kind of thing happen?

30、cuddle chemical” (拥抱化合物).In order to better understand how the cuddle chemical works between dogs and humans, Nagasawa and his team carried out an experiment(实验).

32、ls were the highest in the humans and dogs that had simply looked into each others eyes, without much patting or talking.The results of this study can also tell us a lot about the history of the bond(关系) between humans and dogs.It all started tens of thousands of years ago. Wolves used to follow hum
33、ans when they were hunting. Humans realized that they could use the wolves to help with the hunt, and finally, both species(物种) began to work together toward survival.
