The "One Belt One Road" strategy(策略) proposed by President Xi Jinping has drawn public attention to {#blank#}1{#/blank#} oldest and longest trade route-Silk Road．The term in a narrow sense refers to an ancient overland trade route {#blank#}2{#/blank#} （form） in the Western Han Dynasty．This route stretched 4, 350 miles from Chang's an to western China，central Asia and even to Europe, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} （enable） theses regions to have better communications in diplomacy（外交），business and culture．

    China was the first country in the world to breed silkworms and produce silk fabric．This craft skill reached a {#blank#}4{#/blank#} （fair） advanced level in the Zhou Dynasty．As a major export to Europe， "silk" was used to name this great route by a German geographer．China's silk{#blank#}5{#/blank#} （introduce） into western countries through this old trade route．People were {#blank#}6{#/blank#} （familiar）with his product at the beginning，and made many guesses at {#blank#}7{#/blank#} it was produced．According to the record， the idea that silk was picked from trees was widely accepted by folks in Europe．

    {#blank#}8{#/blank#} （garment服装）made of this fabric were always best sellers，and were considered a social status symbol．Ever the gorgeous Egyptian queen，Cleopatra，was also a big fan of the silk．This fascination led {#blank#}9{#/blank#} an increasing demand for this product，and promoted the {#blank#}10{#/blank#}（develop） of this trading route．

    My family has lived in one big city after another because of my dad's job. I love living in the city because I can find opportunities for culture, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (educate), and entertainment. Now, I live in London. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} my free time, I can visit the museums, the zoo, cinema and community centers. I can also read good books in public {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (library) and bookshops. Besides, I can visit lovely and peaceful parks {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (relax) myself. However, some people who live in the country don't like to live in the city because they feel stressful, noisy and {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (crowd).

    I also like living in the country. I can feed cows, goats and chickens, and even learn to ride {#blank#}6{#/blank#} horse. I can also go on nature walks, and explore forests, caves and beaches. However, some city people think country life is lonely because they think they {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (cut) off from the outside world. They are also more likely to be lonely when {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (live) in a big city.

    So it is hard to decide {#blank#}9{#/blank#} city life is better than country life or not. {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(actual), it's not where you live but how you live that decides your happy life.
