People reached these different places along these roads. Scientists believe people began to travel the Silk Road about 3,000 years ago. By the time the Chinese silk trade became important in the world, the Silk Road covered almost 6,500 kilometres. 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 (路线) are still used, but now they are crossed by trains instead of camels and horses.

How happy it is to enjoy these Chinese cartoons! Ma Liang is a poor boy who loves painting. He always uses his magic brush to fight against bad people in the village. The cartoon The Magic Brush came out in 1955. A group of tadpoles (蝌蚪) are born. They try to find their mother that they have never seen. The story is very simple, but it needs complex technology to show the artistic style of ink (水墨) painting. Little Tadpoles Looking for Mom was watched in 1961 first. The Monkey King: Uproar in Heaven (19611964) is Chinas first colour cartoon. It is from the Chinese novel Journey to the West. Its successful.

Perhaps we will go back to using horses, carriages and bicycles.In the Second World War, some people didnt use gas made from petroleum(石油) in their cars. They made gas from wood and plants instead. The car didnt go fast, but they ran, so this was better than nothing. However, in the future, we cant cut down all our trees to make gas; we need our trees for other things, too.Besides different types of gas, we can also use electricity(电) to run our cars, but first we must make the electricity! Some countries have coal(煤) and they make electricity with that, but we might not always have coal, either. Other countries have big, strong rivers, and they can use the power of water to turn turbines(涡轮机) and make electricity more easily and cheaply.We are also able to get power from the ocean tides. We put turbines into the mouth of the river. Then the tide comes in, the water turns the turbines and then it goes out, it turns them again.Which of these ways will be used to run our cars in the future?（1）When might people have to go back to using horses and carriages?A .
