15．　　The Silk Road is the name of different roads that long ago connected Europe, Africa and Asia. People reached these different places along these roads. Scientists believe people began to travel along the Silk Road about 3, 000 years ago. When the Chinese silk trade became important in the world, the Silk Road covered almost 6, 500 kilometers. It spread from Rome to China, that is to say from the Western Europe to the Far East. Traders traveling along the Silk Road carried silk, of course, they also carried and traded spices (香料), cloth, valuable stones, gold and so on.
　　There is a famous old story along the old road. It is said that Roman soldiers who lost a war traveled through Central Asia. They decided to live somewhere near the ancient Chinese village of Liqian. Some of these Romans married local Chinese women and the story of blue﹣eyed villages of China started.
　　During its busiest period, the Silk Road allowed people from many different cultures and countries to meet each other and mix. The Silk Road allowed sharing valuable goods (货物) and new ideas. These included people and trading goods from the Mediterranean (地中海的), Persian (波斯的), Magyar (马扎尔的), Armenian (亚美尼亚的), Bactrian (大厦的), Indian and Chinese areas. All these peoples traveled along the Silk Road, and they shared goods, stories, languages, and cultures.
　　In modern times, the old Silk Road routes (路线) are still used, but now they are crossed by trains
instead of camels (骆驼) and horses. There is even a Silk Route Museum in Jiuquan in China. It has over 35, 000 objects from all along the Silk Road. In this way, China protects the history of many countries and peoples.

19．　　On Dec 9, three Chinese astronauts gave a science talk 400 kilometers above the Earth!Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping and Ye Guangfu, who are working in Tiangong space station, showed millions of students a short time of their life there. They also did some fun science experiments (实验). Let's take a look at some of them.
Use it or lose it
　　The human body grows with the pull of the Earth's gravity (重力). But in space, our bones (骨骼) and muscles (肌肉) don't need to support our bodies' weight. This will cause bone and muscle loss (丧失) little by little. (A)That is dangerous for astronauts because they will be (B) _____ weak to work. NASA (美国航空航天局) says that astronauts can lose up to 20 percent of their muscles after just a couple of weeks.
　　Astronauts have different ways to prevent this. During the talk, Zhai introduced a special uniform that Ye was wearing. It's called a "penguin (企鹅) suit". Wearing it keeps their muscles strong. Wang also showed students (C) _____to ride a bicycle and walk on a treadmill (跑步机). (D) ______.
Space water is different
　　During another experiment, Wang made a water film (膜). Then she added more water drops onto the film to make it a water ball. This can never happen on the Earth. Space water is different in many other ways from that on the Earth. For example, water will not flow downward (向下流) if you try to pour it into a cup. That's why astronauts usually drink water through (E)straws. If astronauts cry, the tears will not fall down but stay on their eyeballs. They have to wipe them away (擦掉)!
