Long ago, traders brought treasures from the East to the West. They were looking for new and amazing to sell. Trips to the East became more popular when traders found silks and spices. These treasures were not the usual goods that were easy to get. Many people wanted them. It was a good way to become wealthy(富裕的).
The Silk Road was not a real road. It was a route between the East and West. It went through China, Turkey and Greece. Some traders traveled over land. Others sailed across the sea. There was danger along both routes.
Traders who went over the land used camels and horses. These animals carried heavy goods, which made the trips manageable. First, the traders crossed the desert. Then, they climbed over mountains. After that, the traders still had hundreds of miles to go. Bad weather was often a problem. There were desert sandstorms. The mountains had snowstorms. Robbers also caused trouble. They stole the silk and spices.
Traders who crossed the sea faced some of the same problems. There were storms on the sea. Water and winds could push the boats in the wrong direction. Sometimes the ships crashed on land. Pirates also chased（追逐）the ships. They stole the goods and took control of the ships. Few traders gave up their trips on the Silk Road, though. They kept getting wealthier.
Many people liked silk. It came from China. Silk was made from the cocoons of silkworms. Workers pulled threads off the cocoons. They wove （纺织）it into material. The cloth was light and soft. It was comfortable to wear. Some traders tried to take silkworms out of China. The money made from the silk trade was important to China. No one was allowed to take the silkworms out of China. If this happened, people might not buy silk from China.
Over time, the Silk Road changed people in both the East and West. Traders shared stories about faraway lands. They brought back drawings of the places and things they had seen. It helped people learn about new customs and beliefs（信仰）. As a result of the Silk Road, the world seemed much smaller.

Some are as large as the sun and as hot as the sun.52 We can have a clearer view of them through telescopes. But in the daytime they can’t be seen because the sunlight is much brighter.
53 That is why it looks the biggest and brightest of all the stars. The distance of the sun from the earth is as long as 150 million kilometers. This distance is perfect for all living things living on the earth. 54 So the light of these stars may start to travel to the earth before you were born.
Do you know the light year? One light year is the distance that light travels in one year. 55 It travels 300 000 kilometers a second.
A. Among the stars in space the sun is the nearest to us.
