27、 the world of high finance, but its also just a street! And before that, it was actually a wall-hence the name.The wall used to protect New Yorkers from attacks by Native American Indians. But eventually, the English knocked the wall down. There are a number of important landmarks on Wall Street. He

Scientists have been trying to discover its secrets.The main thing is that chocolate makes us happy. This may have something
35、to do with the 380 known chemicals found in it. The problem is that many of these chemicals appear in other types of food too. So, its difficult to know why the ones in chocolate make us feel good. But we arent all lost. Adam Drewnowski at the University of Michigan found that chocolate makes the hu
36、man brain produce natural opiates, called opioids(鸦片). These can stop pain and make us feel good.6Others think that we feel good after eating chocolate because of a chemical called anandamide. This occurs naturally in the brain and seems to give us a feeling of happiness. Normally, our levels of ana
37、ndamide are very low and our body uses it quickly. But two scientists, Emmanuelle di Tomaso of Harvard University and Daniele Piomelli of the University of California believe that the anandamide in chcocolate raises levels of the chemical in our brain. And other substances in chocolate slow down the
38、 speed at which we use it. So, chocolate helps us feel happier for longer! Great!But which chocolate is the best? Well, for a start, theres more anandamide in dark chocolate than milk chocolate. So, you need to buy some dark chocolate. Then, you should follow these five tips from connoisseur chocola

43、te.D. Dark chocolate that gives off a sweet and deep fragrance.CLandscapes are not only the setting for history; they are also a major ssource of our sense of history and identity. Read them right, and historical landscapes can be more informative than any other kind of source. This is even more the
44、 case with sacred landscapes, which were reflection of our ancestors beliefs about their relation to the cosmos and can still today seem to hold a spiritual influence. Over the years, Ive had the good fortune to have spent time in many historical landscapes, hoping to picture something of the spirit
45、s of the people who shaped them over the centuries. I still remember years ago walking along the Inca sacred lines around Cuso, Peru. In this ancient landscape, old sites that once belonged to Incan royals had become torn Spanish mansions. Or many years ago, before the Gulf Wars, I took a journey th
46、rough south Iraq, the heart land of civilization, where the desert is still crossed by dried-up riverbeds of the Euphrates and canals that once sustained the worlds first cities. Britain also has its own magical ancient landscapes. From the Mesolithic to the Bronze and 7Iron Ages, rich layers of the
47、 past are still present in the landscape surrounding Stonehenge, even as traffic rushes down the A303. It is the A303 that is the problem. As the main road to the south west from the home counties, the road runs right past Stonehenge. One of humanitys most famous monuments, Stonehenge is an archaeol
48、ogical landscape without parallel in Europe, and perhaps the world. The first circle at Stonehenge was made 5,000 years ago, and the great stone circle itself in a round 2,500 BC -the age of the pyramids! And the mysteries of this amazing monument and the complex prehistoric societies that produced it are by no means exhausted, as new discoveries continue to show. All the more worrying to me then, this unique landscape is currently at the centre of a projected plan by Highways England, which aims to relieve congestion on the A303 by creating a four-lane road with a 1.8-mi
