It was lunchtime and I walked into a small branch bank on the West Side. I had come to   1  a checking account. The only officer on   2  was a fortyish black man, standing   3  a small counter from a young white boy who was wearing a V-necked sweater. I thought I was especially   4  of the boy because he looked more like from a prep school than a   5  in a West Side bank.

The boy continued to   6  my attention because of what happened next. He was holding an open savings-account book and   7  an expression of disappointment. “But I don’t understand. I opened the account myself, so why can’t I   8  any money?” the boy said, his voice breaking.

“I know it is, but those are the rules. I’ve already explained to you that a fourteen-year-old is not   9  to withdraw money without a letter from his parents,” the officer explained patiently.

Suddenly I noticed the   10  had a series of small deposits (存款) and withdraws. Then I questioned the officer, “How do you   11  that? Why did you let him withdraw money before, but not now?” He looked   12 . “Because the tellers were not aware of his age before and now they are. It’s really very   13 .” I turned to the boy with a shrug. “You’re really getting   14 ,” I said. “You ought to get your parents to come here and protest.” The boy looked destroyed.   15 , he put his savings book in a rear-pocket and walked out of the bank.

The officer turned to me. “You know,” he said, “you really shouldn’t have got   16 .” I couldn’t believe what he was saying. “We were   17  this morning that some neighborhood bully has been shaking down (敲詐) this boy for more than a month. The guy was   18  him to take money out every week and hand it over. The poor kid was   19  too scared to tell anyone. Anyway, the police are on the case and they’ll probably make a(n)   20  today.”

“You mean there is no rule about being too young to withdraw money from a savings account?”

“Not that I ever heard of. Now, sir, what can we do for you?”

  In the 13th century, the famous Italian traveler, Marco Polo, traveled 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 didn’t use the paper money until 15th century.However, people in China began to use paper money in the 7th century.

  A Chinese man called Cai Lun invented paper almost 2,000 years ago.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 left on the earth.If there are no trees, there will be no paper.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 nearly 48,000 trees every day.Since it takes more than 10 years for a tree to grow, we must start using less paper now.

  So how can we save paper? We can use both sides of every piece of paper, especially when we are making notes.We can use cotton handkerchiefs and not paper ones.When we go shopping, we can use fewer paper bags.If the shop assistant gives 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.
