W:Tom,the cases are too heavy.I think we should take a taxi to the station.

M:Not at this hour.Look at the traffic.It’s moving very slowly.We can get there just as quickly on foot.

M:Alright.Let me take it then.The cases aren’t that heavy…hmm!

W:Don’t be silly! They are heavier than you thought.

W:Doctor,I don’t feel like eating anything recently,and I often have a stomachache.

M:How long have you been feeling like this?

W:About a week.I travelled to China last week.I still feel tired even after a week,and worst of all,I often miss the food I ate in China.

M:Did you feel tired when you were travelling?

W:No.I was quite happy with every minute.You can’t imagine how beautiful the great country is,but when I came back,I found the sky cloudy.

M:I know what’s wrong with you.Go home and have a rest for three or four days.Maybe you miss the days in China too much.

M:How many caves are there?

W:There were already more than 1,000 caves dug by the Tang Dynasty.However,nature and human destruction have destroyed a lot of them.Today,there are only 492 caves left.

M:It’s still an amazing figure.

　　During my last trip to Europe,I had the opportunity to visit Stonehenge.I remember it was a very hot day in summer, with a lot of sunshine.Almost every tourist who travels to England visits this ancient,mystical place,which is considered one of the most famous prehistoric sites in the world.

　　The stones are huge.Our tour guide said that the square stones weigh nearly five tons each,stand eighteen feet high,and are three feet thick.It was amazing to see them up close.Something that I really asked myself was how the ancient people could be clever enough to arrange the stones as upright pillars,then connect the stones overhead,and place them altogether to form a circle.It was a great feeling to admire the huge stones up close.

　　It was really strange.As I walked around the stones,I noticed how lonely they were;there was nothing else standing around them,no community or anything.Were they also lonely in ancient times? If so,why had the ancient people built them that way? If only I could really travel back in time and find out!
