In the 13th century, the famous Italian traveler, Marco Polo, traveled a long way to China. During his stay in China, he saw many wonderful things. One of the things he discovered was that the Chinese used paper money. In western countries, people did not use paper money until the 15th century. However, people in China began to use paper money in the 7th century.
A Chinese man called Cai Lun invented paper almost 2, 000 years ago. He made it from wood. He took the wood from the tree and made it into paper. He then put these pieces of paper together and made them into a book.
Now paper still comes from trees. We use a lot of paper every day. If we kept on wasting so much paper, there will not be any trees left on the earth. If there are no trees, there will be no paper. Every day, people throw away about 2, 800 tons (吨) of paper in our city. It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper. This means that we are cutting nearly 48, 000 trees every day.
Since it takes more than 10 years for a tree to grow, we must start using less paper now. If we don’t, we will not have enough time to grow more trees to take the place of those we use for paper
So how can we save paper We can use both sides of every piece of paper, especially when we are making notes. We can choose drinks in bottles instead of those in paper packets. We can also use cotton handkerchiefs (手帕) and not paper ones. When we go shopping, we can use fewer paper bags. If the shop assistant does give us a paper bag, we can save it and reuse it later.
Everyone can help to save paper. If we all think carefully, we can help protect trees. But we should do it now, before it is too late.
36. Marco Polo ________ when he was in China.
A. discovered that Cai Lun invented paper B. learned to make paper
C. saw many wonderful things D. read a lot of books
37. People in western countries first use paper money in the ________ century.
A. 17th B. 15th C. 13th D. 7th
38. About ________ tons of paper are thrown away every day in our city.
A. 1,700 B. 2,000 C. 2,800 D. 4,800
39. Which of the following is NOT a way of saving paper
A. To use both sides of every piece of paper. B. To use the paper bags from shops more than once.
C. To use cotton handkerchiefs instead of paper ones. D. To grow more trees.
40. Which of the following is NOT TRUE
A. If we keep on wasting paper we will have no paper to use.
B. The Chinese people used paper money much earlier than western people.
C. About 48,000 trees can be used to make 2,800 tons of paper.
D. It’s never too late to plant new trees for paper.

In the past, I was short. Now I am taller. I used to have long hair. Now I have short hair. I used to be very shy. Now I am very popular in school. I dare to sing in front of the whole school, and I have made some friends.
I used to be less interested in studying. Sometimes, I was absent from classes to play computer games. And I failed the exams. Now I know that my parents are always thinking of me and are proud of every good thing I do. I study harder than before. I used to dislike English class, and I was afraid to ask questions. I hid behind the book in class and said nothing. Now I fall in love with English. I listen carefully in class, take notes, and look up the dictionary. I can often get good grades.
I hope I can be a better man in the future.
