A road is a bridge between two places. The Silk Road has been a bridge between East and West for more than 2,000 years.
But did you know that the Silk Road is not a single route? It is actually a series of trade and cultural transmission（传送）routes. It started to take shape during the Western Han Dynasty. The trade route started from the city of Xi'an in Shaanxi Province and ended in eastern Europe, near today’s Turkey and the Mediterranean Sea（地中海）. The Silk Road was about 6,500 kilometers long. It went across one-fourth of the planet.
The Silk Road got its name because Chinese silk used to be carried along this road. In addition to silk, jade （玉）, tea and iron also went west to Rome. From the West came glass, gems（宝石）, and foods like carrots and sesame.
The Silk Road was very important to both China and the rest of the world. In addition trade, knowledge about science, arts and literature, as well as craftsmanship and technology, was shared across the Silk Road. In this way, languages and cultures developed and influenced each other.
Today, various historical sites along the Silk Road are popular travel destinations, such as the Terracotta Warriors（兵马俑）in Xi’an and Mogao Grottoes（莫高窟） in Dunhuang, Gansu .A new train line, the New Orient Express, is running from Beijing across the Silk Road.

Frank is a student. He likes playing with his phone very much. And he keeps the phone with him at all times. His dad thinks he is addicted (上瘾的) to his phone. But Frank doesn’t think so. They write to each other.
Dear Frank, You’ve heard the warnings. It’s reported that fifty percent of the teenagers depend on their phones too much. I think you have this problem too. That’s why I think you should give up your phone. Not forever, just for a week. I’m worried that you are developing some bad habits. You keep your phone with you all the time – you even check the basketball scores at the dinner table. It’s not a good idea to use your phone while you are doing homework. You can’t put your heart into your homework at all. And you may make more mistakes when you can’t fully put your heart into it. There are many good reasons to take a break from your phone. Have a try! So what do you say? Are you ready to give up using your phone? Love Dad |
Dear Dad, I know you think I depend on my phone too much. But I’m just using technology to help my life to be better. My phone helps me in many ways. Do you remember that time when the car broke down? I sent a message to tell you that I was going to be late. If I didn’t, you would be worried about me. My phone helps me with my homework too. I can look up anything in a second. It’s really hard to be successful today if you don’t have a phone. Social media, games, and apps might seem silly to you, but they help me to keep in touch with my friends. I promise to cut back my phone use, and I won’t use it at the dinner table anymore. But giving it up for a week would be a mistake and it wouldn’t change anything in the long term. Love Frank |
