  Nine 1700-year-old brick tombs have been discovered in northwest China's Xinjiang.Experts say that they can provide valuable clues for the research of exchanges between the central Chinese government at that time and faraway Western Regions

  It is the first time ancient tombs with typical characteristics of China's main Han nationality have been found in the Uygur ethnic region(自治區(qū))

  Archaeologists from Beijing, Shanxi and Xinjiang concluded that the tombs were built between the middle and late third century and fourth century.

  The tombs were unearthed during the construction of a road earlier this year in Kuqa county,740 km from Xinjiang's capital Urumqi and part of the ancient Qiuci State.Qiuci State, which existed between the second century BC and 860 AD, was one of the 36 states in the Western Regions.

  The tombs would help archaeologists with research into the political, economic and cultural exchanges between the Central Plains government and states in the west, and on the cultural influence of the Central Plains on the Western Regions.

  Archaeologists from the Xinjiang institute have dug nine tombs since August 22, finding bodies of more than 30 people, some ancient coins and more than 60 pottery(陶器)jars.It is thought there are another three tombs to be dug.

  The people buried in the tombs were probably either people from the western regions deeply influenced by the Han culture or the Han residents(居民)in the region.

閱讀理解

  With the development of science and technology, most of us will comment:“Life is speeding up.Everyone is getting unwell.”

  This may sound like something someone would say today.But in fact, an unknown citizen who lived in Rome in 53 AD wrote it.

  We all love new inventions.They are exciting, amazing and can even change our lives.But have all these developments really improve the quality of our lives?

  Picture this, you're rushing to finish your homework on the computer.Your mobile phone rings, a QQ message from your friend appears on the screen, and the noise from the television is getting louder and louder.Suddenly the computer goes blank and you lose all your work.Now you have to stay up all night to get it done.How calm and happy do you feel?

  Inventions have speeded up our lives so much that they often leave us feeling stressed and tired.Why do you think people who live far away from noisy cities, who have no telephones, no cars, even no electricity often seem to be happier? Perhaps because they lead simpler lives.

  One family in the UK went “back in time” to see what life was like without all the inventions we have today.The grandparents, with their daughter, and grandsons Benjamin, 10, and Thomas, 7, spent nine weeks in a 1940s house.They had no washing machine, microwave, computer or mobile phones.

  The grandmother, Lynn said, “It was hard physically, but not mentally.” She believed life was less materialistic.“The more things you have the more difficult life becomes.” She said.The boys said they found less to fight over, such as their computer.Benjamin also noticed that his grandmother had changed from being a “trendy, beer- drinking granny to one who cooked things”.

  Here are some simple ways to beat the stress often caused by our inventions!

  ●Don't be available all the time.Turn off your mobile phone at certain times of the day.Don't check your emails every day.

  ●Make sure you spend some time talking to your family.Set aside one evening a week when you don't turn on the television.Play cards and chat instead.

  ●Get a low-tech hobby.Every day,do something in the old-fashioned way,such as walking to have a face-to-face meeting instead of using the email or telephone.

  ●Don't worry too much about life-laugh more!
