However,Oliver managed to draw his first breath,and then announced his arrival to the rest of the workhouse by crying loudly.His mother raised her pale young face and said in a weak voice,“Let me see the child,and die.”
The doctor turned away from the fire,where he had been warming his hands.“You must not talk about dying yet,”he said to her kindly.He gave her the child to hold.Lovingly,she kissed the baby on his head with her cold white lips,then fell back and died.
“Poor dear!”said the nurse,without any expressions.
The doctor began to put on his coat.“The baby is weak and will probably have difficulties,”he said.“If so,give him a little milk to keep him quiet.”Then he looked at the dead woman.“The mother was a good-looking girl.Where did she come from?”
“She was brought here last night,”replied the old woman.“She was found lying in the street.She must have walked a long way,for her shoes were worn to pieces.Where she came from,where she was going,or what her name is,nobody knows.”
The doctor lifted the girl’s left hand.“The old story,”he said sadly,shaking his head.“No wedding ring,I see.Ah! Good night.”
And so Oliver was left with only the old nurse.Without clothes,under his first blanket,he could have been the child of a king or a beggar.But when the woman dressed him later in cotton clothes,yellow with age,he looked exactly what he was—an orphan in a workhouse,ready for a poor and hungry life alone.

The ancient Chinese discovered the secret of silk thousands of years ago.Silk was so beautiful and valuable that it remained China’s exclusive(独有的)secret.
▲ China’s neighbors soon found it out when Chinese leaders sent gifts of silk to leaders of other lands during the Warring States Period.Over 2,000 years ago,in the Han Dynasty,people of the Roman Empire knew about silk,which made silk grow wildly popular in the West just one night.In the Tang and Northern Song dynasties,traders built lots of trade routes(路线)between Europe and China,carrying many other products,like china,cloth and so on.
A German traveler named the trade routes “The Silk Road”in the mid-1800s,making them more popular in the world.In the Song Dynasty,there were sea routes,too.Ships could start the journey from China to other countries.
