Every year，many people are killed by tigers. Tiger，however, does not always eat men. It likes wild animals better. It is only when the tiger is old or wounded that it eats men. But once it has tasted the flesh of men, it goes on killing men for food. When a man-eater such as this is discovered, people are much afraid and they have to stop working in the fields. There are many ways to put an end to such dangerous animals. One way is that some men with long guns sit on elephants while other men drive the tiger towards them. Another way is for a hunter to sit on a tree near the place where a tiger has eaten somebody. If the tiger returns for another meal, the hunter will kill it in the hiding place. A goat may be tied to the tree for the tiger to kill. The most dangerous way is to hunt a tiger on foot, but the man must be brave and can shoot well or he would be killed by the tiger.40 .

During his stay in China, he saw many wonderful things. One of the things was paper money. People in the West didnt use the paper money until the 15th century. However, the Chinese began to use it in the 7th century.Paper was invented（发明）by a Chinese man called Cai Lun almost 2, 000 years ago. But it was not made in the West until the year 1100. Four hundred years later, a German found that he could make the best paper from trees. After that countries with plenty of forest, such as Canada, Sweden, America and Finland, became the most important ones in paper making.Paper can be used in many ways. It can be used in 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 some day in the near future. Every day people throw away about 2,800 tons of paper in our city. It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper. This means that we are cutting down nearly 48,000 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 paper. We can make useful things out of used paper. We can use china cups 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（平衡）between using paper and protecting trees, and do it now before it is too late.45 . When did the Chinese begin to use paper money?AIn the 5th century.BIn the 6th century.CIn the 7th centuryDIn the 15th century.46 . Why did Canada become an important country in paper making?ABecause it was a large country.BBecause it had lots of forests.CBecause it was a very rich country.DBecause the inventor was from Canada.47 . What is the writers main purpose in writing this passage?ATo explain how to make paper.BTo introduce where paper is from.CTo show Marco Polos great travel.DTo encourage people to save paper.Long ago, there was a man who lived in a village. One day, he went to a market and did some shopping. He suddenly found two boxes. Both the two boxes were very beautiful and the man fell in love with them at first sight. So he bought them. After he got home, he didnt know how to use the boxes. He thought it over and decided to do something special.

A few days later, the yellow box was very heavy, but the black box was still light. He didnt know why. He decided to open the two boxes and found out the truth. He opened the yellow box and found nothing. Then he opened the black box and saw a hole at the bottom. Then he smiled to himself and said, “Happiness is for me. Let sadness go.”48 .
