London Bridge is between the City of London and Southward. It is between Cannon Street Railway Bridge and Tower Bridge. London's original bridge made this one of the most famous bridge in the world.

The first London Bridge is thought to have been built by the Romans sometime in the first century, with several rebuild over the centuries. In the end, wooden bridges were replaced (代替) with a stone bridge, the first one being started in 1176 and finished years later. During its whole history, London bridge has been a busy thoroughfare (通道) and was once lined with shops. The road over the bridge was only about 4 meters wide between the shops. It was not wide enough and it was often crowded with people, horses and cars. In 1773 a keep left rule was enforced (强制执行)　 to keep the traffic moving. This became the rule of the road in Britain.

In 1757 the houses and shops on the bridge were pulled down. A new bridge was built in 1831 to replace the old one. This in turn was pulled down in 1967 and rebuilt in Lake Havasu City, USA, as a tourist attraction. The present London Bridge opened in 1973.

A road is a bridge between two places. The Silk Road has been a bridge between East and West for more than 2,000 years.

But do you know the Silk Road is not a single route(路线)?

It is a series of trade and cultural transmission (传送) routes. It began during the Western Han Dynasty. The trade route starts from the city of Xi’an in Shaanxi province and ends in Eastern Europe, near today’s Turkey and the Mediterranean Sea. The Silk Road was about 6,500 kilometers long. It went across one-fourth of the planet.

The Silk Road got its name because Chinese silk used to be carried along this road. Besides silk, jade, ceramics and iron went west to Rome. From the west came glass, gems, and food like carrots and sesame.

The Silk Road was very important to both China and the rest of the world. Besides trade, knowledge about science, arts and literature, as well as crafts and technologies was shared across the Silk Roads. In this way, languages and cultures developed and influenced each other.

Today, places along the Silk Road are great travel destinations, such as the Terracotta Warriors in Xi’an and Mogao Grottoes (莫高窟) in Dunhuang, Gansu. Now, beginning in August, a new train line, the New Orient Express, runs from Beijing across the Silk Road.

1.Where does the Silk Road start and end?

A. Xi’an and Western Europe

B. Xi’an and Eastern Europe

C. Dunhuang and Eastern Europe

2.Many things were carried to China from the west along the Silk Road except______.
