【點石成金】本句是一個主從復(fù)合句。Different cultures...in Dunhuang 是主句，which was a famous major stopover...years ago是which引導(dǎo)的非限制性定語從句。

2.Dong Li,Chang's physical education teacher,always gave encouragement to his students and believed it was easier for kids to ride a unicycle.張的體育老師董力總是鼓勵他的學(xué)生，并認為對孩子們來說騎獨輪車更容易。
