Scientists have been trying to discover its secrets. The main thing is that chocolate makes us happy. This may have something to do with the 380 know
35、n 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 human brain produce natur
36、al opiates, called opioids (鸦片). These can stop pain and make us feel good. Others 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 anandamide are very low a

But two scientists, Emmanuelle di Tomaso of Harvard University and Daniele Piomelli of the University of California believe that the anandamide in chocolate raises levels of the chemical in our brain. And other substances in chocolate slow down the speed at which we use
38、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 chocolate makers Ghirardelli.
39、 They say that when choosing chocolate, you need to use all five senses: 1. Sight: good chocolate has a shine to it.2. Smell: rub the chocolate with your finger to release the aroma. It should have a deep chocolate smell.3. Sound: when you break a piece of chocolate it should snap crisply, creating

43、 gives off a sweet and deep fragrance.CLandscapes are not only the setting for history; they are also a major source 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 case with sacred landscap
44、es, 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 spirits of the people who shaped
45、them over the centuries. I still remember years ago walking along the Inca sacred lines around Cusco, 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 through south Iraq, the hear
46、t 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 Iron Ages, rich layers of the past are still present in

And the mysteries of this amazing monument and the complex prehistoric societies that produced it are by no means exhausted,
49、 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-mile tunnel, and an expressway interchange 1.5 miles to the west.
