The Chinese first made paper about 2 ,000 years ago. China still has pieces of paper which were made as long ago as that. But Chinese paper was not made from the wood of trees. It was made from the hair-like parts of certain plants.

     Paper was not made in southern Europe until about the year 1100. Scandinavia (斯堪的納維亞半島) , which now makes a great deal of the world's paper,did not begin to make it until 1500. It was a German named Schaeffer who found out that one could make the best paper from trees. After that,the forest countries of Sweden,Norway,Finland,and the United States became the largest paper producers. Today in Finland,which makes the best paper in the world,the paper industry is the biggest in the land. New papermaking machines are very big,and they make paper very fast. The biggest machines can make a piece of paper 300 meters long and 6 meters wide in one minute.

      When we think of paper,we think of newspapers,books,letters,envelopes and writing paper. But there are many other uses. Only half of the paper that is made is used for books and newspapers,etc.

B

     What's going to happen in the future? Will robots control our planet? Will computers become smarter than us? Not likely. But here are some things that scientists say are most likely to happen in 10 to 30  years from now,according to the BBC.

     Digital money

     We used to pay with cash (現(xiàn)金) for everything we bought. Now when we use a credit card (信用卡) to shop online,money is spent without us seeing it. That means we are already using digital money. Using a card is much easier than searching our pockets for change. It is also safer than carrying a lot of cash.

     When ATM cards were first introduced,they were not accepted everywhere. But now it's hard to live without them. It’s reported that people in Sweden completely stopped using cash last year,and the US might be next.

     Bionic (仿生的) eyes 

     It's no longer something only in a science fiction movie. People who are blind may have a chance to get their sight back ——by wearing bionic eyes.

     A blind eye can no longer sense light,but a bionic eye can use a camera to “see” the environment and send data (數(shù)據(jù)) to the mind. Now the bionic eye only allows patients to see lights and unclear shapes. A high resolution (清晰度) image could be just a few years away.

     Self-driving cars

     Unlike a human driver,a self-driving car won’t get distracted (分心) by a phone call,the radio or something outside the window. Sensors (探測(cè)器) and cameras on the car would allow it to stick to reduce the number of road accidents;You could even take a nap while the car drives itself. In the future,driverless cars would be widely accepted.

() 1. has stopped using cash completely.

   A. Sweden   B. ATM   C. BBC   D. America

() 2. What does the writer mainly tell us about digital money?

   A. We use digital money to shop online without paying money.

   B. Digital money is most likely to be used instead of cash.

   C. Using digital money is easier and safer than cash.

   D. ATM cards are always popular.

() 3. Which of the following statements is TRUE?

   A. Bionic eyes only appear in the science fiction film.

   B. Human drivers won^ get distracted by something outside.

   C. The blind wearing bionic eyes may see clearly in the future.

   D. There will be no road accidents at all if self-driving cars are used.

() 4. From the report,we can learn some information about .

   A. culture and art   B. industry and farming

   C. science and technology   D. traffic and journey

() 5. Which of the following can be predicted (預(yù)、測(cè)) from the passage?

   A. There would be a number of self-driving cars.

   B. The blind could use cameras to see things around.

   C. We would live a hard life with digital money.

   D. Robots would control the world.

     Most parents hope that their children can be happy and successful. But do you know the most powerful (很有效的) way to encourage them to be so? 丁lie answer is to allow them to make their own decisions.

     Unfortunately,most parents make decisions for their children —what they wear,what they eat and what movies they watch. In fact,it's not good for children to grow up.

     Children should be allowed to make decisions when they are very young. But this doesn’t mean they are allowed to do everything. For example,you shouldn’t take your children into a store and tell them they can have anything they want. But you can give them a choice among snacks. When children get older,you can expand the number of choices you give them. For example,allow them to decide the activities they want to take part in or when they go to bed.

      The next step is to teach your children to think before they act. Let them ask themselves several important questions. First,why do I want to do this? Second,what are my choices? Third,what are the results of the actions? After the three questions,they are sure to make right decisions.
