The precision measurements from current observational cosmology have established the Lambda-Cold-Dark-Matter (LCDM) model as the standard cosmological model. However, the LCDM model as a pure phenomenological model with six base parameters still calls for a theoretical understanding of underlying mechanisms for the early and late accelerations as well as the nature of dark matter. In this talk, I will outline some recent progress in pushing these puzzles a little forward.
