Scientific discoveries have shown that silk production began in China around 2,500 B.C., although it could be much older. For hundreds of years, China kept the secret of silk to itself. It was the most zealously guarded secret in history. Anyone telling the secret of silkworms or trying to take silkworm eggs out of ancient China was sent to prison.‎ At one time silk was served only to the Chinese emperors. Step by step, others began wearing silk. In addition to being used for clothing, silk was used to make musical instruments, fishing lines, ropes and even paper. During the Han Dynasty, silk became a form of money.‎ However, the Chinese finally lost their monopoly (垄断) on silk production. It reached Korea in around 200 B.C. when some Chinese people arrived there. Silk production came to India in 300 A.D. In 500 A.D., silk production came to Europe when travelers smuggled(偷运) out silkworms in empty pipes of bamboo. These were used to set up silk factories in Rome, but Chinese silk was still considered to be the best.‎ Silk was brought to Rome from China by means of the Silk Road. There were actually two Silk Roads. One was overland and the other was on the sea, especially the land route had a huge effect in history. All sorts of trade goods were passed along this road. Ideas traveled along the Silk Road, too. For example, the religion of Buddhism(佛教) was carried to China from India by traders along the Silk Road. The Silk Road created the first international culture, showing many people the ideas and treasures of both Western and Chinese cultures.‎ ‎1.How was China able to keep the secret of silk production?

However, there is one kind of penguin that loves warmer climates. African penguins live in colonies(聚居区) on the coast and islands of southern Africa.‎ ‎　　Also called jackass penguins, they make donkey-like braying(驴叫) sounds to communicate. They can dive under water for up to 2.5 minutes while trying to catch small fish.‎ ‎　　The African penguins are about 60 cm tall and weigh up to 3.6 kg. Their short tails and flipper-like wings help them swim in the water, while their feet help push them forward.‎ ‎　　To keep dry and insulated(隔离) in cold water, African penguins are covered in dense, waterproof feathers. These feathers are white on the stomach and black on the back.‎ ‎　　African penguins do not travel to give birth. The penguins' nests in the holes they dig out of their own excrement(粪便), called guano, or in areas under bushes. People now take away the guano for fertilizer(肥料). It has forced the penguins to change their habits and nests mainly under bushes. Their nests protect eggs and chicks from the sun and the animals like cats and seagulls. Eggs are laid in pairs. And both parents help keep eggs warm by sitting on them until they hatch. Both parents also feed the newly-born chicks. After 2—4 years, the chicks will mature and lay their own eggs.‎ ‎　　African penguins can live for an average of 10—15 years. However, many do not reach their full lifespan, and populations have been slowly decreasing. African penguins are losing their nesting places. And their food is not enough because of overfishing and pollution. As such, African penguins are now in danger. This means there is a high risk they may die out.‎ ‎　　If you would like to help the African penguins, you can volunteer, donate, or adopt(收养) a penguin through the Southern African Foundation for the Conservation of Coastal Birds.‎ ‎1.The underlined word “mature” in Paragraph 5 means “　　　　”.
