④手机刷新了人与人的关系。会议室门口通常贴着一条通告:请与会者关闭手机。

可是会议室里的手机铃声仍然响成一片。 我们都是普通人,并没有多少重要的事情。尽管如此,我们也不会轻易关掉手机。手机反映出我们的社交饥渴症。 最为常见的是,一个人走着走着突然停下来,眼睛盯着手机屏幕发短信。他不在乎停在马路中央还是厕所旁边

Mobile phones have renewed (altered/changed) the interpersonal relationships. There is always a notice on the door of the meeting room, which reads: Please turn off your mobile phone during the meeting. However, the meeting room echoes with the rings of mobile phones.Though we are all ordinary people with few matters of urgency, we are reluctant to turn off our mobile phones unless necessary. Mobile phones reflect our hunger for social communication,as can commonly be seen in a phone user who comes to a sudden halt on his way, staring at the screen of his phone for texting regardless of whether he is in the middle of a road or by a public toilet.

⑥闻名于世的丝绸之路是一系列连接东西方的路线。丝绸之路延伸6000多公里，

得名于古代中国的丝绸贸易。丝绸之路上的贸易在中国、南亚、欧洲和中东文明

发展中发挥了重要作用。正是通过丝绸之路，中国的造纸、火药、指南针、印刷术等四大发明才被引介到世界各地。同样，中国的丝绸、茶叶和瓷器也传遍全球。物资文化的交流是双向的，欧洲也通过丝绸之路出口各种商品和植物，满足中国市场的需要。

The world-renowned/famous Silk Road is a series of routes connecting the East and the West. Extending more than 6000 kilometers, the Silk Road gets its name from the ancient Chinese silk trade.The Silk Road trade/Trade on the Silk Road played an important role in the development of civilizations of China, South Asia, Europe and Middle East. It was through the Silk Road that four great ancient Chinese inventions of papermaking, gunpowder, the compass and the printing were introduced to the world.Likewise, Chinese silk, tea and porcelain were also spread throughout the globe. The exchanges of material culture went both ways, with Europe also exporting a wide range of goods and plants through the Silk Road to meet the demands/needs of the Chinese market.
