As a Chinese student, you must know something about the Silk Road.Long ago, traders brought treasures from the East to the West. Trips to the East became more favourable when traders found silks and spices(香料). These treasures were not ordinary goods that were easy to get. Many people wanted them and it was a good way to become wealthy.The Silk Road was not a real road. It was a route(路线) between the East and the West. It went through China, Turkey, and Greece. Some traders travelled over land and others sailed across the sea. There was danger along both routes.Traders who went over the land used camels and horses. First, the traders crossed the desert. Then, they climbed over mountains. After that, the traders still had hundreds of miles to go. Bad weather was often a problem. Robbers who stole the silks and spices also caused trouble.Traders who crossed the sea faced some of the same problems. There were storms on the sea. Water and winds could push the boats in the wrong direction. Pirates(海盗) also chased the ships and they stole the goods and took control of the ships.Over time, the Silk Road changed people in both the East and the West. Traders shared stories about faraway lands. They brought back drawings of the places and things they had seen, which helped people learn about new cultures. As a result of the Silk Road, the world seemed much smaller.根据短文内容 ,答复以下问题。
