During his stay is 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 7thcentury. A Chinese man called Cai Lun invented paper almost 2,000 years ago. He made it from wood. He took the wood from trees 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 keep 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. Choose the best answer(根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案，用A,B,C或D表示，填入空格内)： 1.

When they were little children, they used to play together. They were good friends, though they sometimes fought over toys or quarreled(吵架)about what game they would play. As they grew older, they played together less. Emily preferred to be with girls, and George preferred to play with boys, When they were about fifteen years old, they almost stopped speaking to each other, not because they had disagreed with each other about anything, but just because they belonged to different groups. For one things, Emily was developing into a very good student, while George was more interested in sports. Emily had begun to study French, and she liked French so much that she began to write short plays in French. She also liked television programmes, and for some reason, she enjoyed watching football games yep/much. Her mother used to say, " Emily, I've never heard of a gift who likes football as much as you do. "Mrs Mason simply did not approve of (赞同) her daughter' s interest. Football, she felt, was for men and boys.
