honor to be given this award.You cannot imagine that I have always been a late starter.Years ago,when I was 16,I took an important exam GCE(General Certificate of Education),which turned out to be a failure.My dad was reading my report card andsaw that my position in class was 29th,but the number in class was 29.It meant that I had achieved thedistinction of being bottom of my class.I wasnt lazy,and I was really trying.You can picture how I felt.Dad put his hand on my shoulder and said,“You can only do the best you can,but whatever you decide to do,make sure you love it.”He was a really sweetguy and a great man.I knew his attempt to hide his disappointment with some of his encouraging words.I wasdepressed for a week,but his advice was a wake-up call.Fortunately I love working with my hands,and I was good at two things:woodwork and art,and I really lovedto draw and paint.I was quite talented.Dad strongly encouraged me to go to art school,which in those dayswasnt the obvious place that a father would suggest.So I got into Hartlepool College of Art.The college was a revelation(出乎意料),the passionate teachers there,who were extremely interested in the students,not just tolerating them but actually engaging with them.It was aworld apart from my schooling until then.Its extraordinary what an enthusiastic teacher can do,drawing thestudent out,lighting independence,and encouraging a design of your own future,rather than waiting forsomething to happen.Im honored to have become one of these passionate teachers years later.My teachers inspired me,and thanks to my dad,here I am tonight.I think I should mention all the talents Ihave worked with over time,and to my kids and my wife Giannina,thank you.Thank you for this great award.I shall find a very special place for it.1.How

Asia all the way totheMediterranean.A key section of the Silk Roads is the Changan-Tianshan corridor（走廊）,whichstretchesovera distance of around 5,000 kilometres through China,Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan,covering a total of 8,700kilometres of trade routes.The three countries jointly pursued an application for UNESCO World Heritage(遗产)status which contained detailed research on the 33 sites along the corridor.This made history as the firstsuccessful multinational World Heritage application.The starting point of the corridor and the entire Silk Roads network isXian,inShanxiProvince.Further west onthe Silk Roads,the geography gradually changes from wild deserts to high,snow-capped mountains to vastgrasslands as the routes pass through theTianshanMountainsand emerge in the valleys ofCentral Asia.Althoughthe Changan-Tianshan corridor of the Silk Roads ends here,the network continues westwards until it reachestheMediterranean.The corridor began to develop in the 2nd century.Assigned by the emperor,the ambassador Zhang Qianjourneyed from Changan toCentral Asia,seeking to build bridges between the Han Dynasty and the WesternRegions.Following Zhangs efforts,trade routes took shape and relationships were strengthened between themajor powers of the time,with the routes network reaching as far as theRoman Empire.Economic activities along the routes network were not limited to trade in silk.They contributed many otheritems to the marketplace of goods.The routes were busy with camels carrying loads of goods and businessmenselling everything imaginable.Chinas exports included silk,porcelain,ironware and tea,while horses,jewellery,spices and grapes were all imported over vast distances from the West.In addition to trade exchange,the network served as a bridge for cultural exchange which shaped theevolution of science,art,technology and many other areas in societies along the network.Astronomy andmathematics were introduced toChinafromIndiaandArabia;important Chinese inventions such as papermakingand printing were brought to the West.All of these activities contributed to a great age of expansion as trade and cultural exchanges gave peopleaccess to new goods,knowledge and ideas.These routes connected Eastern and Western civilizations,whichachieved a shared development.The addition of the Changan-Tianshan corridor to the UNESCO World HeritageList is a milestone in recognition of the Silk Roads as a crucial part of humanitys common heritage.4.The key

accepted part of keeping up to date with extended family and friends,but if schoolchildrenwere in their parents shoes,the majority wouldnt share posts of their sons and daughters online.Over 55%saidthey would not upload news about,or images of,their children to their social media feeds,according to survey ofover 16,000 pupils by Votes for Schools.While some were concerned about being embarrassed or the longevity of content which could remain onlineindefinitely,others expressed concern about their personal data beingcompromised.One of the pupils surveyedsaid,“Although our parents mean well,sometimes theconsequenceof a post can be disastrous.”In response to thesurvey,childrens mental health charity Place2Be and law firm Mishcon de Reya haveproduced three films ahead of the Christmas holidays the best period for parental oversharing.In one video,about safety online,10-year-old Adavan said,“If you share anything with your family,you knowwhos going to see it.But if you share it publicly,there are millions of people who can see your picture.”Joe Hancock,a security lead at Mishcon de Reya,encouraged parents to share wisely.“Simple steps,such aschecking your privacy settings and asking others not to share content of your children on their accounts if theyhave not updated their privacy settings,are a good start.And,as we found out from the children during filming,having their permission is key,”he said.The study marks a shift away from the usual debate about teaching children to use the Internet safely.SandraDavis,head of the law firms family department,said,“Children are the experts on the real and immediate impactof sharenting（晒娃）the full extent of which we cannot know yet.We must ensure we listen to children and taketheir views into

parents.D.Children should avoid unintended consequences of sharenting.DNewspapers in Great Britainvarygreatly in their ways of carrying the news.There are serious papers for thosewho want to know about important happenings everywhere,both at home and abroad.There are popularnewspapers for those who prefer entertainment to information.The London newspaper that is best known outside Great Britain is probably the Times.It began in 1785,andhas a high reputation for believable news and serious opinions on the news.It calls itself an independent paper,which means that it does not give its support to a particular political party.Its leading articles give the opinions ofthe editors,not those of the owners of the paper.Letters to the editor are printed in the newspaper.These parts of the Times are always interesting.Most ofthe letters are serious subjects.But from time to time there will be long letters on the subject which is not at allserious,perhaps on a new fashion of dress,or the bad manners of the young people,compared with manners ofthirty years ago.12.If you want to get pleasure,please buy yourself _.A.a serious newspaperB.foreign newspaperC.any independent paperD.a popular
