Jenny, from Germany, spent some time traveling in India. While she was there, she stayed with her India friend, Leela. However, there was a language barrier(障碍)for her there. It was very　1　for her to communicate in the new environment, which was very different from　2　of her own country.

One day, together with Leela, Jenny went to　3　an orphanage(孤儿院). All the children there were very young. At first, Jenny was not sure if she could have a way to communicate with them. She went over to the children　4　and sat beside them. After some time, one of the children　5　her. She felt a little relaxed and smiled back. Then she went close to the child. She slowly put her arm around the child and started　6　a song in German. The child kept smiling and started repeating the words after her. The words that came from the little mouth were different from those that Jenny sang, but the rhythm(节奏)was the same. Jenny sang a little more and the child followed her again. Wanting to join in the　7　, another child went up to Jenny and started singing the rhythm. Then more children joined. They　8　many smiles together. 　

From the other side of the hall, Leela was smiling and watching them. Noticing Leela's　9　on her, Jenny had an exciting feeling from her heart: “See, I don't have any language barriers here. We　10　speak and communicate! ”At that moment, she understood: we're all simply human, and we have the ability to connect with each other.

Zheng He was an amazing man. He was born in 1371. Eleven years later, he was caught by the army of a rich young man called Zhu Di and made to work for him. Over time the rich man saw that Zheng He was very clever and strong and they became close friends. In 1403 Zhu Di was made the king of China and he asked Zheng He to join his government.  

　　The king wanted to learn more about the world and show other countries his power. He ordered many new ships to be built and made Zheng He their leader. Between 1405 and 1433, Zheng He led seven sea trips to different parts of the world. He certainly traveled to India, Africa and the Middle East. A few people think his ships have even reached South America and Australia.  

　　Each trip lasted between two and four years and it is believed he sailed more than 50, 000 kilometers during the years of his travels. Zheng He led a fleet with

28, 000 men and over 300 ships, such as boats for food, water and even soldiers'horses.

　　On these trips he brought with him many Chinese goods like silk and medicine to give to foreign kings or to sell for local goods. He returned from each trip with boats which were filled with expensive things such as gold and treasures, foreign guests and strange animals like a giraffe.

　　It is a pity that we may never learn everything about Zheng He's travels. The Columbus of the East, Zheng He, died in 1433. After that, the new king had these trips stopped and he burned almost all the books about Zheng He's travels, because he believed the trips were unlucky and too expensive. It is only in the last 50 years that historians have begun to carefully study the adventures of great Zheng He.
