Answer 1

分析 马可波罗来自意大利威尼斯，1271年，十七岁的时候，马克和他的爸爸和叔叔旅行去中国．如今人们经常去世界不同的地方旅行，但是那时候人们从欧洲到中国是非常艰难的．在三年半后，波罗一家人于1275年到达中国．
当他在中国的时候，马可波罗为中国的皇帝忽必烈效劳，他能学到和经历到对于欧洲人新鲜的事物．在他的日记，他写道："忽必烈的皇宫是我见过最大的．首都的街道是那么的直那么的宽．"纸质的钱让他很惊奇，那时在西方还没使用过．房子用黑色的石头取暖，烧起来像木头．这些石头是煤，那时候大多数欧洲人几乎不知道．
在中国17年后，1292年马可和家人回到了威尼斯，在他回家后，马可完成了有关他旅行的书，里面全是他在中国的精彩的经历．
