AIn the 13th century, Marco Polo, the world known Italian traveler saw many wonderful things in China. One of the things he discovered was money made of paper. People in the West did not have such kind of money until the 15th century. However, the Chinese began to use it in the 7th century.Paper was invented by a Chinese man called Cai Lun almost 2,000 years ago. But it was not made in Europe until the year 1100. Four hundred years later, a German discovered that he could make the best paper from trees. After that countries rich in forests, such as Canada, Sweden, America, Finland became the most important ones in paper making.Paper can be used in many ways. The common uses include newspapers, magazines and books. But do you know that paper can be used for keeping warm? In Finland, the farmers wear paper boots to keep their feet warm in the snow. And even houses can be insulated(使绝缘)from heat or cold with paper.However, we have to understand that paper still comes from trees now. If we keep on wasting so much paper, there will not be any trees left on the earth someday in the near future. Every day people throw away about 2800 tons of paper in our city. It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper. This means that we are cutting down nearly 48000 trees every day. The fact is that it takes more than 10 years for a tree to grow.So we must start saving paper right now. We can use both sides of every piece of every piece of paper. We can make useful things out of used paper. We can use china cup instead of paper ones. When shopping, we can use fewer paper bags and reuse them if we have some.In short, we should keep a balance between using paper and protecting trees, and do it now before it is too late.31.

But more important, Hans gold was the country s first ever in a snow spot n 2002, China's Yang Yang won the gold for speed skating at the winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, US. Just because Han's win was unexpected doesn't mean that he didn't work hardHan grew up in Jiangsu Province. Before he started his training on snow, he used to be an acrobat(杂技演员) at a circus. In 1995, a coach found his talent. The coach, Yang Er'qi, said Han had the agility(灵活性) and courage to be a ski Jumper. When Yang first took the 12-year-old to northern China, the boy couldn't swim, skate or ski. But he wasn’t afraid of the high platform (跳台) and kept on training.Han almost left the sport after hurting his knee months before the Salt Lake Games. In that Olympics he only got 24th. “I was hopeless at that time, but my family and the coach stood firmly(坚强) behind me, helping me through,” he recalled.Han Xiaopeng worked so hard that he won the gold medal in the Olympics at last.

An Exciting Horse RaceDHave you ever heard the phrase “you never get a s econd chance to make a first impression(印象)” It may sound like an unusual piece of advice, but it is true -the first impression someone has of you when meeting you for the first time will notably influence how that person treats you or reacts to you in the future.What is even more interesting is that the brain takes in all the information to create that first impression in about three seconds. When you meet someone for the first time, by the time you have told your name or shaken hands, the other person has already formed an opinion about the kind of person you are.So how do you make a good first impression? All things grown-ups tell you -such as being polite, and being well-dressed -are very important. However. the most important tool for making agood first impression is your face. Smiling being responsive, and looking like you are happy will almost always leave a positive (积极的) impression on people, especially those who do not know you. Most people, generally speaking, are ready to smile back when they are smiled at. Furthermore, smiling and being in a positive mood helps you to know and get a better understanding of new things. This means that you can possibly be friendlier to people you do not know and be more creative and able to solve problems more quickly. So if you ever need a reason to be happy, think about the wonderful people you might meet-and impress- with a cheerful smile.46.
