Question 1: When did you start to have interest in silk history?/ When did you start to take interest in silk history?/ When did you begin to be interested in silk history?
Answer 1: It was in 2002 when I first came to China for a conference as a historian. I happened to attend a lecture about silk history. I learned the history about a lady in ancient
China who devoted herself to silk production. I was deeply impressed. Then I began
to focus on silk history and development.
Question 2: How did Chinese silk spread to other countries?
Answer 2: Well, the silk trade began in the early years of the 2nd century BC. A trade route linked to China was the outside world. Silk was transported from China to Italy and some other European countries. But silk production had remained a secret for about 3000 years. In about 300 AD, a group of Japanese obtained silkworms, and they also took four Chinese girls back to Japan to teach how to produce silk.
Question 3: What is the present situation of silk industry?/ What is the current situation of silk industry?
Answer 3: The silk industry has been affected by man-made fibers, which are produced at lower cost and are generally stronger. Silk still ranks first in the high quality clothing market, though it has been largely replaced.

Part C
参考复述：
There was a young painter named Mary who needed to make some money. She put some of her paintings up for sale, and Tom, a wealthy man, heard about it. He liked her work, so he came to buy a painting. He picked one, and Mary asked for $500. Tom agreed and wrote her a check. But when Mary went to the bank, she was surprised to find that the check was actually for $5000. She thought there must have been a mistake, so she went to Tom and told him what she had found. Tom smiled, and told her that he had indeed made a mistake. He’d written 5000, instead of 500. But he told Mary to just take the $5000, since her honesty was worth much more than that.。
