Stephen Hawking, a world famous British physicist, died on March 14, 2018. Many people around the world felt so sad about his death. Hawking once wrote a children’s book with his daughter when he was alive. Hawking said the book would be "a bit like Harry Potter" but without the magic. "It explains the wonders of the universe(宇宙)," said Hawking, while he was on a visit to Hong Kong.

Hawking is probably the world’s most famous scientist after Albert Einstein. He is an expert on black holes. He has put his whole life into digging into the beginning (and the end) of the universe."My goal is simple," Hawking once said. "It is to completely understand the universe, why it is as it is and why it is there at all."

Hawking had a bad illness that stopped him from moving or talking. For a period of time, he had no way to communicate except by blinking(眨眼).

He selected his words from the screen, which are then spoken by a voice synthesizer(音響合成器).I have had the disease for most of my life," Hawking once said.

The Silk Road is the name of different roads that long ago connected Europe, Africa and Asia. 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.

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.
