Archaeologists then try to reconstruct, sometimes with the help of puter technology, what these ancient buildings and objects must have looked like, and how they might have been made. Sometimes historians are lucky and find an ancient document with a written description of these ancient buildings and objects. We can understand, then, why Chinese historians were so excited when they found cave paintings which show ancient science. They found these paintings in the worldrenowned Mogao Grottoes of Dunhuang City, in Northwest China39。s Gansu Province. There are 500 manmade caves and they have survived for at least 1,600 years. Almost all of these caves have paintings on their ceilings or walls and they date from the 4th to 14th centuries. Wang Jinyu is an expert on these cave paintings (also called frescoes) and he says: We discovered frescoes containing scientific and technological content in almost all of the caves which have frescoes. What is remarkable about these cave paintings according to the Xinhua News Agency is that they provide evidence of scientific and technological inventions by ancient Chinese in maths, physics, chemistry, astronomy, geography, agronomy, architecture, textiles, traffic and transportation, arms and military equipment and medical sciences. Among the discoveries experts have made are cave paintings showing ancient techniques of pottery making and wine production and paintings showing ancient weaving machines and then toothbrushes! The paintings also give some evidence of the lifestyle at the time with, for example, pictures of people boiling milk over 1,000 years ago. Experts believe that there is more evidence to be found, but even now the caves are a wonderful natural museum. If the walls and ceilings of the caves were all put together they would form a tapestry 20 kilometers long and 2 meters high! It won39。t be possible to travel back in timethat only happens in filmsbut visiting these caves would be the nearest experience you could get to travelling back in time.（1）Why were Chinese historians excited when they found cave paintings showing ancient science?

Our door in the inner city is constantly knocked on。 our previous door in the suburbs rarely so. Sam has a fulltime job and cannot spend his days answering requests to fix leaking baths or carry cash to the bank. Sam opened the door and it was Mervin. There39。s a bird on the second floor, he said. It39。s in trouble. Sam followed Mervin upstairs. Mervin pointed and turned to let Sam look. It was a pigeon, the most mon of all birds, the bird most likely to foul (弄臟) your newly washed car. And it wasn39。t flying away. It was stamping in circles. As Sam bent to look, Mervin coughed, Number two. Sam asked him to repeat that. Number two, Mervin said. The pigeon has been sitting in his own number two, and now it39。s stuck to his foot.It had rained for five days, and the bird was young. It could have been sheltering in a wet nest of its own waste, which had then dried on its foot, preventing it from flying away. The pigeon moved in a few more circles. Sam bent to take another look. Mervin said, All right, then. and walked away. Why does everyone think you must solve the problems around here? I said to Sam when he returned with his story. It39。s a bird. Just leave it on the stairs, and let nature take its course. Sam didn39。t agree. Then he went to the garage and emptied the cardboard box containing our imported camping mats. He returned with the gray pigeon in the box. He showed the bird to our children and they decided to keep it. They put its foot in the warm water bath and got rid of its waste. Immediately the pigeon erupted in a bomb of feathers and began flying.（1）How did the author feel about the knocks? A.She felt bored.B.She was frighte
