Here are the stories about two famous explorers(探险家).
Zheng He
Zheng He was a famous Chinese explorer. In 1405. he set off from China on the first of seven great voyages(航行).
From 1405 to 1433. Zheng He went on seven trips and visited South-East Asia, the Middle East and even the east coast of Africa. These voyages allowed China to trade valuable goods like gold, silver and silk. At the end of each voyage, Zheng He returned with many things that were seen in China for the first time. Besides developing trade, the voyages also encouraged the exchange of cultures and technologies.
Zheng He died in 1433 during his last voyage. However, his voyages were such a huge achievement that people still remember him.
Marco Polo
Marco Polo grew up in the city of Venice, in present-day Italy. In 121, when he was 17 years old, he set off on a journey to Asia with his father and uncle and did not return home until 24 years later.
When Polo finally returned to Venice, there was a war and he was captured. While he was in prison, he told the stories of his travels to another man there. This man wrote the stories down in a book called The Travels of Marco Polo.
The stories gave many Europeans their first look at the life and culture of the people in Asia. Polo told of many amazing things that were unknown to Europe, such as paper money. His book made Europeans more and more interested in the East. It also influenced many other explorers, including Christopher Columbus.
Polo died in 1324. His last words were: “I did not tell half of what I saw.”

As we know,there are differences between Western culture and Chinese culture. 1.
Let's look at some words about animals and plants. Most expressions in Chinese about the dog,for example,"a homeless dog","a mad dog","a running dog" and "a dog catching a mouse",have bad meanings. 2.. In English,people use the dog to describe good actions. For example,"you are a lucky dog" means you are a lucky person. And "every dog has its day" means each person has good luck sometimes. To describe a person's serious illness,they say "sick as a dog". The word "dog-tired" means very tired. 3.. But in Western culture, "cat" is often used to describe a woman who is unkind. There are many other examples of how "cat" is used differently as well. .
The rose is regarded as a symbol of love in both China and some Western countries. People think the rose stands for love, peace, courage and friendship. And the rose is the national flower of England, America and many other countries.
