    Silk production has a long history and colourful history unknown to most people. Scientific discoveries have shown that silk production began in China around 2,500 B.C., although it could be much older. For hundreds of years, China kept the secret of silk to itself as one for the most closely protected secrets in history. Anyone telling the secret of silkworms or trying to take silkworm eggs out of ancient China was punished in prison.

    At one time silk was served only for the Chinese emperor. Step by step, others began wearing silk. In addition to being used for clothing, silk was used to make musical instruments, fishing lines, ropes and even paper. During the Han Dynasty silk became a form of money.

    However, the Chinese finally lost their monopoly(垄断) on silk production. It reached Korea in around 200 B.C. when some Chinese people arrived there. Silk production came to India in 300 A.D. In 500 A.D., silk production came to Europe when travelers smuggled(偷运) out silkworms in empty pipes of bamboo. These were used to set up silk factories in Rome, although Chinese silk was still considered to be the best.

    Silk was brought to Rome from China by means of the Silk Road. There were actually two Silk Roads, one over land and one on the sea. Especially the land route had a huge effect in history. All sorts of trade goods were passed along this road. Ideas travelled the Silk Road, too. For example, the religion of Buddhism(佛教) was carried to China from India by traders on the Silk Road. The Silk Road created the first international culture, showing many people the ideas and treasures of both Western and Chinese cultures.

their parents,however,it is not true. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} If it's hard for you to communicate with your parents,don't worry about it. Here is some advice for you to bridge the generation gap(消除代沟). 

Don't argue with your parents. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} Your parents probably won't consider your idea if you are shouting at them. And you can't express yourself well if you are angry. Go somewhere to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don't think you can speak to them at the moment,try writing a letter.

Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about and why. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}

After a long vacation from school, it's often hard to get back into the study routine. Your mind is probably filled with short-term memory gaps and new experiences that make you feel like your brain has been taking a long nap. Since schools will go back to their normal system, students also need to get ready early. Here are some simple tips that can help you get back into the swing of studying:

Create the desire (欲望) to learn.

The driving force behind achieving success in life is desire. As a student, you must have the desire to lean. When there is a desire to learn, it will help you get back to your study habit faster. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} Learning can be difficult, but fear and worrying won't solve the problem either.

Make a list of priorities.

Once you've got the basics down, it's time to make a list of what's important. This is the most important step in any plan: you have to put your tasks in order and make sure they're not all piled up on top of each other. Don't forget that there are also time limits involved. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}

Find a way to track your progress.

There are several ways to make sure you keep track of your progress. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} If not, then find one online or at school, and make sure it's easy to find when you need it. This way, even if you forget what day a task is due (到期), there will always be some kind of reminder nearby to tell you when things need to be done next time.

{#blank#}4{#/blank#}

It's okay to ask for help. You don't have to do it alone, and the more people who help you, the better. You will learn from their experiences and feel more confident by being able to make your own decisions when needed.

Getting back into studying can be a challenge; knowing how to handle it will help you in your future studies.

A. You must keep away from all kinds of fear.

B. Use a calendar if you have one in your room.

C. The first battle you need to win is in your mind.

D. Don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it.

E. This way, you can make sure you're spending your time wisely.

Among the four tips mentioned in the passage, which one do you think is the most important? Why? (不超过20词){#blank#}5{#/blank#}
