The Silk Road is a historically important international trade routebetween China and the Medier﹣ranean（地中海）．It began during the Western Han Dynasty and has been a bridge between East and West for over 2，000 years．
The ancient road started from Chang'an （now Xi'an） and ended in Eastern Europe，near today's Turkey and the Mediterranean Sea．It was about 6，500 kilometers long and went across one﹣fourth of the planet．
The Silk Road got its name in the 19th century because Chinese silk used to be carried along this road．Silk，jade，ceramics and iron went west to Rome．And from the west came glass，gems and food like carrots．
The Silk Road was very important to both China and the rest of the world．It was more than an ancient international trade route．Besides trade，knowledge about arts，science and literature，as well crafts and technologies was shared across the Silk Road．In this way，languages and cultures developed and influenced each other．
Today，China is trying to build the"21st Century Marine（海洋的） Silk Road"．With the help of APEC held in Beijing in November 2014，the dream of One Belt One Road（the"Silk Road Economic（经济的）Belt"and"21st Century Marine Silk Road"）（"一带一路"）is coming true．

She is thirty-six. His father and mother are teachers. The girl in the car is his sister. She’s fifteen. She is in a green sweater. She is a student, too. She is in Grade Three now.Jim is thirteen. His sister is fourteen.
His father is in a black coat.
His sister is in the car.
Jim and his sister are students.
His parents are doctors.
Ted, my little brother, is in Grade One. Last Friday he came back from school with a letter. The letter was from his teacher. “I got a red flower today. Could you please sign this note?” he said to mum. The note showed that he had been talking in class.
Ted hardly gets top scores in his school work. The best he gets is “OK”, but he often gets “You can do better than this.” Mum knows what it means. She tells me “You can do better than this” means “Extremely bad” in China.
In the USA, teachers never say anything too bad about their students, even if the students are making trouble in class or not working hard enough. The worst they might say is “Please be nicer tomorrow”. Many parents are satisfied with a B-grade for each subject.
But things in Chinese schools are quite different. Parents have high expectations for their children. I sometimes felt that my second-grade cousin spend more time on homework than I did when I was 6th grade in the US! Yet his parents and teachers didn’t think he worked hard enough.
Is it too strict in China? Or is it not strict enough in the USA? Maybe both are true.Why did Ted come home with a letter last Friday?
| A．Because the teacher wanted to visit his mother. |
| B．Because he did something wrong. |
| C．Because the teacher was happy with his progress. |
