The Silk Road is a name given to the many trade routes that connected Europe and the Mediterranean (地中海) with the Asian world. The route is over 6,500 kilometers long and got its name because the early Chinese traded silk along it. Although silk was the main trading item, there were many other goods that traveled along the Silk Road between Eastern Asia and Europe. In the course of time, medicine, perfumes, spices and livestock (家畜) found their way between continents.
The Chinese learned to make silk thousands of years ago. For a long time they were the only ones who knew how to make this precious material. Only the emperor, his family and his highest officials were allowed to wear clothes made of silk. For a long time the Chinese guarded this secret very carefully. The ancient Romans were the first Europeans who became aware of this wonderful material. Trading started, often with Indians as middlemen (中間人) who traded silk with the Chinese in exchange for gold and silver which they got from the Romans.
How long is the Silk Road?
A. It's less than six thousand kilometers.
B. It's over six thousand kilometers.
C. It's six thousand kilometers.
D. It's about six hundred kilometers.
Why was it named the Silk Road?
A. Because the ancient Chinese traded silk along it.
B. Because the silk was very expensive.
C. Because the Chinese silk was very beautiful.
D. Because the silk was the only trading item.
What does the underlined word “item” mean in Chinese?

C. 商品

Have you ever wondered what goes through your mind when you choose where to sit in a new classroom? Or in a waiting room full of strangers? Or on a bus? Researchers have found out some interesting facts.
Girls sit by girls and boys sit by boys. Adults sit together and young people choose another young person to sit near. But it goes further than this. We even choose to sit near someone who looks like us. People with glasses are more likely to sit near other people with glasses. People with long hair sit closer to other people with long hair.
We seem to believe that people with similar habits or hobbies will share similar attitude and we are more likely to be accepted by people like ourselves or even, we think we may be safer with people who look like us. Sometimes that's true but it's a pity if we always stick to the same people, the same group. The danger in always staying in our comfort zone (舒適區(qū)) is that we just recycle the same opinions, the same tastes and the same ideas. We lose the chance to learn something new, find out about interesting things, hear funny stories and discover differences.
When we always stick to the same people, how can we ever break down the barriers which prevent us from getting to know people with different ideas? And how can we avoid the ignorance (無知), which too often leads to prejudice (偏見) and even fear? If instead you want to live in a society that opens to changes and new things and different opinions, be the cat among the pigeons.
Move out of your comfort zone. Go and sit next to someone different. And don't just sit there in silence. Say hello. Ask a question. Start a conversation. That's how we make friends. That's how we learn about people. That's how we open our minds to new ideas. That's how we live an exciting life.
From the passage, we know that people prefer sitting by someone who ______.
A. is like themselves
B. has a sense of humor
C. is open - minded
D. lives an exciting life
People like staying in their comfort zone because they may ______.
A. remain comfortable and special
B. be accepted easily and feel safe
C. find out more interesting things
D. discover differences among themselves
The sentence “Unsurprisingly, we prefer to sit closer to people like ourselves.” should be put at the beginning of ______.
A. Paragraph 1
B. Paragraph 2
C. Paragraph 3
D. Paragraph 4
What does the underlined word “barriers” mean in Chinese?
A. 聯(lián)系
B. 隔閡
C. 紐帶
D. 熟悉
What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To tell us not to talk with strangers.
B. To introduce ways to learn about the world.
C. To explain how people communicate with others.
D. To encourage us to get along with different people.

Dear Tom,
I'm glad to hear that you're interested in the Spring Festival, the most important traditional festival in China.
The Spring Festival usually falls in January or February. It's a time for family reunions. Before the festival, people clean their houses thoroughly to sweep away bad luck. They also decorate their homes with red lanterns and Spring Festival couplets. On New Year's Eve, families get together to have a big dinner, which is called the reunion dinner. We eat dumplings, a traditional food symbolizing good luck. Children are especially excited because they can get lucky money from elders.
I really love the Spring Festival. It makes me feel the strong bond of family and the unique charm of Chinese culture. It's a time full of joy and hope.
I hope you can come to China and experience the Spring Festival one day.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua
