A (节选自译林版选择性必修第三册Unit 4) Following the Silk Road Covering vast distances and an astonishing variety of landscapes，the Silk Road was a network of ancient trade routes that extended from East Asia all the way to the Mediterranean.A key section of the extensive Silk Road network is the Chang’an-Tianshan Corridor，which stretches over a distance of around 5,000 kilometres through China，Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan，covering a total of 8,700 kilometres of trade routes.The three countries jointly pursued an application for UNESCO World Heritage status.They submitted the proposal which contained detailed research on the 33 sites along the corridor.This made history in its own way as the first successful multinational World Heritage application—and it seems to be only the beginning of the road for the Silk Road，as other countries are also planning World Heritage applications for other sections of the network. The starting point of the corridor and the entire Silk Road network is Chang’an (present-day Xi’an)，in Shaanxi Province of north-west China.It was famous as the capital of the Han and Tang Dynasties.Further west on the Silk Road，the geography gradually changes from wild deserts to high，snow-capped mountains to vast grasslands as the routes pass through the splendid Tianshan Mountains and emerge in the rolling valleys of Central Asia.Although the Chang’an-Tianshan Corridor ends here，the network continues westwards until it reaches the Mediterranean. The Silk Road began to develop in the 2nd century BCE.Assigned by the emperor，the ambassador Zhang Qian journeyed from Chang’an to Central Asia，seeking to build bridges between the Han Dynasty and the Western Regions.Following Zhang’s efforts，trade routes took shape and relationships were strengthened between the major powers of the time，with the routes network reaching as far as the Roman Empire.The network expanded gradually，playing an important role in world history between the 6th and 14th centuries，and remained in use until the 16th century. At the initial stage of the Silk Road development，silk was the main item in the trade list thanks to its light weight and high value.At its peak，many other items were contributed to the marketplace of goods.The routes were alive with strings of camels carrying loads of goods and traders selling everything imaginable.China’s exports included silk，china and tea，while horses，wool，cotton and grapes were all imported over vast distances along the network. 词汇积累 1．the Mediterranean地中海 2．corridor n．走廊，地带；通道 3．pursue vt.追求，致力于，执行；追逐 4．submit vt.& vi.提交，呈递；屈服 5．ambassador大使 1．What can we infer from the first paragraph?

However，as I major in social studies，I’m more interested in meeting people in Australia and experiencing their culture，food，and way of life. 1 Oct I’m here in Sydney! Since I arrived，my friend has brought me to my first open-air barbecue and has also shared many different but yummy meals with me，so my first impressions of Australia have been all about food! A lot of typical Australian food，such as the Sunday roast，is originally British.Bakeries，fast-food joints，butcher shops，cafes，and restaurants everywhere provide some of the premier food experiences in the world.The influence of Asian cultures，on the other hand，led to the introduction of bean curd and Asian herbs，along with Australian versions of foods like the Chinese-inspired dim sim. 3 Oct My friend and I have arrived in Katherine，a town in Australia’s Northern Territory.We’re here to learn about the life and customs of the Aborigines，who are native to Australia.The Aboriginal population might be small，but its influence is still visible.For example，“Bondi” in “Bondi Beach” is an Aboriginal word meaning “water breaking over rocks”． To survive in this vast land on the ocean，the Aborigines had to be in close contact with nature.This shows in their music，too，which celebrates the natural world and the spiritual world around them.Most of their musical instruments are really just sticks found on the ground，among which there is an amazing instrument called the didgeridoo. The didgeridoo is made from a tree branch which is hollow.To play the didgeridoo，you put your mouth on one end and blow while vibrating your lips.Unlike a horn，there are no finger holes.The didgeridoo player has to change the shape of his mouth in order to change pitch.A skilled player can play for a long time without stopping to breathe.He does this by continually breathing in through his nose while breathing out through his mouth and into the didgeridoo.I tried to learn how to play it，but after trying for hours，I was convinced that I could never make a musical sound with this instrument! 6 Oct It’s almost time for me to say goodbye to Australia.I’ve enjoyed my time here very much.After being here for a while，my biggest impression is the complicated mix of peoples and cultures that make up the nation.Although the main cultural influence since 1788 has been Western culture，minority cultures have also played a part in shaping the unique Australian culture，with many of the new cultural influences contributed by immigrants.It is said that now nearly half of all Australian citizens were either born overseas or have parents who were born overseas. Personally speaking，what I like most about Australia is the people themselves.They have a straightforward and free-and-easy attitude towards life，and their friendliness and warmth made me feel at home wherever I went. After experiencing Australia，I have to say that I agree with the tourism slogan：“There’s nothing like Australia.” 词汇积累 1．equator n．赤道 2．iconic sites 标志性景点 3．premier adj.最好的；最著名的；首要的 4．dim sim点心 5．hollow adj.空洞的；空心的；中空的 6．vibrate vt.& vi.(使)振动 7．pitch n．音高 8．straightforward adj.坦率的；简单的 9．slogan n．标语；口号 1．How many days did the writer stay in Australia?

The bilingual books are from the Translation Series of a Hundred Jingju Classics，a project originated from 2011，which is part of the effort by the central government to promote Chinese culture overseas. Peking Opera，with its complex and colorful costumes and make-up，as well as the unique performance combining singing，dialogue，acting and acrobatics，has become a symbol of traditional Chinese culture.Over the last 200 years，more than 1,000 Peking Opera shows have been produced telling the most classic historical stories in China，as well as giving glimpses of society，according to Wang.The art form was listed as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity(非物质文化遗产) by UNESCO in 2010.Famous performers such as Mei Lanfang and Cheng Yanqiu have also taken Peking Opera abroad.And though foreign fans are impressed by it，few understand the stories told on stage. To help foreigners understand the art form better，Sun Ping，dean，School of Art，Beijing Foreign Studies University，and her team have edited the new books.Different from previous English translations of books that mostly covered the scripts of Peking Opera plays，the new series introduces nearly all aspects of the art form，including the script，actors and actresses，performance skills，musical instruments and costumes，according to Sun，who is herself a highly regarded Peking Opera artist. “It fills the blank in overseas promotions of Peking Opera，” says Liu Jian，a professor at the National Academy of Chinese Theater Arts.“The inheritance and promotion of Peking Opera are very important.In a sense，promotion is even more important.The project sets a good example.” Scott Ian Rainen，an expert from the United States，who works at China Foreign Languages Publishing Administration，says he was happy to read the new books.Foreigners often don’t understand the plot in a Peking Opera play，but the books introduce the cultural and historical background，its character modeling，costumes and props，artistic theories and so on. 词汇积累 1．bilingual adj.双语的 2．acrobatics n．杂技 3．glimpse n．一瞥；短暂的感受(或体验、领会) 4．script n．剧本 5．inheritance n．遗产；继承 6．in a sense在某种意义上 7．prop n．道具 1．Why are the set of bilingual books released?
