A road is just like a bridge between two places. The Silk Road has been a bridge between East and West. But the Silk Road is not a single route! It is a series of trade and cultural transmission routes. From the time Zhang Qian opened up the world-famous Silk Road during the Han Dynasty, until the Yuan Dynasty, it enjoyed a history of about l,600 years.

This ancient road begins at Chang'an (now Xi’an), and it reaches Dunhuang, where it divides into three, the Southern Route, Central Route and Northern Route. And then it ends in Eastern Europe, near the Mediterranean Sea(地中海). The Silk Road is about 6,500 kilometers long. It goes across one-fourth of the planet. (83)In fact, there is another trade road which is called the “Silk Road on the Sea” in the southwest of China.

The Silk Road was very important to both China and the rest of the world. Besides trade, knowledge about science, arts and technologies were shared across the Silk Road. The Four Great Inventions of China was introduced to the West and Chinese also knew about the religions of the West. (84)In this way, languages and cultures developed and influenced each other. Today, places along the Silk Road are great places of interest, such as the Terracotta Warriors in Xi'an and Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, Gansu.

Many of us can remember only 50% immediately after hearing something.But within two to eight weeks, we can only remember 25% or less of the message.Sometimes it will make us fail if we really forget something important.

Here are some suggestions to be a good listener.

Stop talking — you can’t listen well when you speak.

Ask questions — when you don’t understand, when you want to catch their attention or when you want to be liked.

Be polite — give them time to say what they have to say.

Listen carefully and actively to what they are saying — pay attention to their words, their ideas and their feelings as those things relate to the subjects.

Understand the main points.

Look at each other — you will feel confident by looking.

Don’t argue with other people when you are trying to understand them, especially when they are speaking.

Try not to bring your worries and problems — when you listen, they will stop you from listening well.

Learn to listen and you’ll achieve a great success in your life.
