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 CaiLun invented paper almost 2000 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 on the earth . If there are no trees , there will be no paper . Every day , people throw away about 2800 tons (吨) of paper in our city . It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper . This means that we are cutting nearly 48000 trees every day . Since it takes more than 10 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 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 .（1）When he was in China , Marco polo _ .A . discovered CaiLun invented paperB . learned to make paperC . saw many wonderful thingsD . told people about it（2）About _ tons of paper are thrown away every day in our city.A . 1700B . 2000C . 2800D . 48000（3）Which of the following is NOT the way of saving paper ?A .

CaiLun , the Great Inventor18. （6分） Each spring brings a new blossom of wildflowers in the ditches along the highway I travel daily to work.There are some particular blue flowers that have always caught my eye. Ive noticed that they bloom only in the morning hours and the afternoon sun is too warm for them. Every day for about two weeks, I see those beautiful flowers.This spring, I started a wildflower garden in our yard. I can look out of the kitchen window while doing the dishes and see the flowers. Ive often thought that those lovely blue flowers from the ditch would look great in that bed alongside other wildflowers. Every day I drove past the flowers thinking, “Ill stop on my way home and dig them.” “Gee, I dont want to get my good clothes dirty” Whatever the reason, I never stopped to dig them. My husband even gave me a folding shovel（铲子）one year in my car to be used for that expressed purpose.One day on my way home from work, I was shocked to see that the highway department had destroyed the ditches and the pretty blue flowers were gone. I thought to myself, “Way to go, you waited too long. You should have done it when you first saw them blooming this spring.” A week ago we were shocked and saddened to learn that my oldest sister has a terminal brain tumor（肿瘤）. She is 20 years older than me and unfortunately, because of age and distance, we havent been as close as we all would have liked. I couldnt help but see the connection between the pretty blue flowers and the relationship between my sister and us. I do believe that God has given us some time left to plant some wonderful memories that will bloom every year for us.And yes, if I see the blue flowers again, you can bet Ill stop and transplant them to my wildflower garden.（1）Why did those flowers the writer saw only bloom in the morning?A .
