The Silk Road is the name of different roads that long ago connected Europe,Africa and Asia.People reached these different places along these roads.Scientists believe people began to travel the Silk Road about 3,000 years ago.By the time the Chinese silk trade became important in the world.The Silk Road covered almost 6,500 kilometers.It is from Rome to China,which is from the West to the Far East.
Traders traveling along the Silk Road carried silk,of course.They also carried and traded spices(香料),cloth,valuable stones and gold.There is a famous old story along the old road.It is said that Roman soldiers traveled through central Asia.They started to live somewhere near the Chinese villages.Some of these Romans married local Chinese women and the story of blue-eyed villages of China was started.
During its busiest time,the Silk Road allowed people from many different cultures and countries to meet each other and mix.The Silk Road allowed the sharing of valuable goods and new ideas.These included people and trading goods from different areas.All these people traveled the Silk Road,and they shared good stories,languages,and cultures.
In modern times,the old Silk Road routes are still used.But now they are crossed by trains instead of horses.There is even a silk route museum in Jiuquan,China.It has over 35,000 objects from all along the Silk Road.In this way,China kept the history of many countries and people.

1.Passage A
Many of us have read stories or seen films about space-creatures.They come to Earth in spaceships that look like flying saucer(飛碟).These space-creatures do not look like human beings at all,but they are usually very intelligent(聰明).In one film,they were tiny little men with large heads.When they landed on Earth,they knew exactly what to do.They went straight to the President's palace and made him their prisoner!
The stories about space-creatures are,of course,not true.Space-Creatures exist only in story-books and in films,just like giants(巨人) and fairies.

Are scientists sure that there is no life on other planets?
