14、veller, Marco Polo, travelled 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 till the 15th century. But people in China began to use paper money

15、in the 7th century.A Chinese man called Cai Lun invented paper almost 2 ,000years 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 everyday! If w

It takes l7 trees to make one ton of paper. This means that we are cutting nearly 48 ,000 trees every day. Since it takes more than10

17、years for a tree to grow, we must start using less paper now. If we dont, 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

18、 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

29、horseDThe twenty _fifth marriage anniversaryC15、Human, Dont Come too CloseFrequent touching from humans may change plants genes and slow their growth.When we see babies or pets, we cant help gently touching them to show our love. And they give us happy feelings back. But a recent study shows that it

30、s different for plants. A study, published in The Plant Journal, shows that plants dont “like” to be touched. Thats because touching changes their genes (基因) and, even worse, can slow their growth.Professor Jim Whelan of the La Trobe Institute in Australia gave an explanation. “The lightest touch fr

31、om a human, animal, insect, or even plants touching each other in the wind, leads to a huge gene change in the plant,” Science Daily reported.In order to test the theory, the scientists did an experiment on plants. They grew a number of plants to the age of four weeks. Then they touched them with a

32、paintbrush every 12 hours over a 36-hour period. They found that as a response to the touch, the mitochondria (线粒体) in the plants had been partly destroyed. The mitochondria, as Science Alert noted, are the “powerhouse of the cell (细胞)”. The mitochondria produce energy for the rest of the cell in bo

33、th animals and plants.If this “powerhouse” is weakened, the plants will lose a large amount of energy that should have supported their growth. Whelan further explained to Science Daily, “If the touching is repeated, then plant growth is reduced by up to 30 percent.”Although the process does have a s

34、trong effect on plants, usually the plants survive. Touching changes the plants, but its not necessarily a bad change.According to Science Alert, frequent touching or moving plants will make them grow shorter than other ones. The researchers believe this change, in some way, could be helpful. It may

35、 help plants fight threats to their health such as insects and bad weather.The new research findings have led to a deeper understanding of the plants response to touching. And the research might “open up new ways to reduce sensitivity (敏感性) and improve growth in the future”, Science Alert reported.1

36、Why did the scientists do the experiment?ATo test if touching can change the genes of plants.BTo show that plants and animals genes are different.CTo tell when touching has effect on plants and animals.DTo find out why some plants grow more slowly than others.2What did the scientists find in their e

37、xperiment?ARepeated touching shortened the plants life by four weeks.BTouching slowed down plant growth by reducing energy for growth.CRepeated touching made plants die sooner than they were expected to.DMitochondria in the plants couldnt produce energy because of touching.3What do the scientists th

38、ink of the fact that touch makes plants become shorter?AThe plants will be more likely to be attracted by insects.BThe plants will be more easily harmed by bad weather.CThe plants will be less sensitive to being touched.DThe plants will be better at fighting dangers.D16、Before I started school, peop
