People reached these different places along these roads. Scientists believe people began to travel the Silk Road about 3000 years ago. By the time the Chinese silk trade became important in the world, the Silk Road covered almost 6500 kilometers. It spread from Rome to China, which is from the West to the Far East.Traders travelling along the Silk Road carried silk, of course. They also carried and traded spices (香料), cloth, valuable stones and gold.There is a famous old story along the old road. It is said that Roman soldiers travelled through central Asia. They started 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 was 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 the sharing of valuable goods and new ideas. These included people and trading goods from the Mediterranean, Persian, Magyar, Armenian, Bactrian , Indian and Chinese areas. All these peoples travelled the Silk Road, and they shared goods, stories, languages, and cultures.In modern times, the old Silk Road routes are still used, but now they are crossed by trains instead of camels and horses.

They started a sailing trip with Rita last November. On the seventh day of the trip, Mr. and Mrs. Miller were having a wonderful time when a storm（暴风雨） suddenly came. While the Millers were trying hard to keep the boat out of danger, they forgot about Rita. A moment later, they found Rita was lost. The couple were worried if she had died in the water. “Because it was a cloudy day, we just couldnt find her even though we searched carefully for over an hour,” Mrs. Miller told BBC News. “We thought that if she fell into the water, she would be gone because of the big waves.”Mr. and Mrs. Miller kept sad on their way home because they lost their favorite pet. But four months later, they received some surprising news Rita had been found on an island. After falling off the boat, she had swam five miles to the island. And she lived by eating small animals there.The people on the island first thought that she was a wild dog because she did not let people come close to her. However, when Mr. and Mrs. Miller came to pick her up, Rita knew who they were at once. “After I called her name, she jumped up and almost knocked me down,” Mrs. Miller said.Ritas terrible experience was finally over. She is all right at home now, relaxing by the pool. But Mrs. Miller is still not sure what her dog went through.Rita was just a common house dog. She swam over five miles and lived successfully on her own.根据短文内容，回答下列问题。62 . When did Mr. and Mrs. Miller start a sailing trip?63 . What happened on the trip?64 . Where was Rita found at last?65 .
