     Zhang Qian was an early traveler. He was probably the first man to bring back good information about the
central Asian lands to China.
     In 138 BC, Han Wudi sent Zhang Qian to the Yue-chi people to ask for their help against the Xiongnu.
Unfortunately, on the way to West Regions, he was caught by the Xiongnu people. Zhang had to stay with them
for about 10 years before he got away. When Zhang at last reached the Yue-chi in Northern India, he was
disappointed to find that they didn't want to fight against the Xiongnu people.
     On his return journey (旅程), Zhang Qian and his men were again caught. It was not until 125 BC that they
returned to China. Although Zhang didn't finish his job he learned a lot about the places, people, customs and
cultures of the 36 kingdoms (王國(guó)) of Western Regions.
     Han Wudi then sent Zhang to the west again. Zhang's journey to the west helped with international trade,
especially in silk, between China and the West.

Bill is only fifteen years old, but he’s already very rich. Two years ago, Bill began a football website(網(wǎng)站) for young people. “I became interested in computers when I was 8 because my father’s job is with computers. As a little boy, I also loved football and so I decided to make a website, especially for people of my age.”
Bill started the “Football OK!” website two years ago, and now more than 20,000 people visit it every day.
Bill is a schoolboy and a businessman as well. He usually gets up at six o’clock and looks at his e-mails. Then he goes to school from nine to four. In the evenings, he always works for about four hours on his website.
Bill’s next plan is a new website:“At the moment I am thinking about a new website on American football, maybe for next year.”
And is Bill the same person that he was three years ago? “No, I am very different now. I have met a lot of interesting people on the website and I have traveled all over the world.” Bill doesn’t know about the future. “Maybe I will sell the websites. I really don’t know. I’ll just wait and see.”

閱讀下面短文，按要求完成相關(guān)任務(wù)。

World Book Day falls on April 23 every year. It was set up by the UNESCO(聯(lián)合國(guó)教科文組織) in 1995 to encourage people, especially teenagers, to discover the pleasure of reading. It is also the day to honor great writer, for example, William Shakespeare, born or dead on that day.

Many countries celebrate World Book Day. Take UK as an example. On that day, millions of school children can buy books of special price, a much lower price than usual, in any bookstore. It has been done every year since 1998. World Book Day is also celebrated in China. Premier Wen Jiabao does lots of reading every day. Wen has called on people to do more reading. He suggested that young people should spend more time reading. “Book cannot change the world, but people can change the world by changing themselves through reading,” he said.

Why do people like reading? One big advantage is that reading helps us become more knowledgeable and more intelligent. Also, reading helps us to follow the latest developments of science and technology. Besides, reading gives us information about other cultures and places of the world. When we read, we may find many things that are unfamiliar to us. We would have to use our brain to think about them or do more reading to find out the answers. The more we read, the more we know. What’s more, reading is also one of the most important ways to learn a foreign language like English.

“Reading makes a full man”. Books, magazines, newspapers and other kinds of materials can help us to know more about the outside world and perfect us. So it is necessary for us to spend time on reading every day.

1.When is World Book Day?

2.In UK, what can school children do on World Book Day?

3.What did Premier Wen Jiabao suggest young people do?

4.How many advantages of reading are mentioned in the passage?

5.What does the passage mainly talk about?
