I did something wrong today．

While at the beach this afternoon． I met a boy called Bob．We talked a lot． He said that it was fun playing on the cliffs （悬崖）． I told him that I was not allowed to go near that place（ Mum and Dad had always told me it was dangerous to play there）． He called me a coward． I wanted to prove to him that I was just as brave， so I agreed to go with him．

We wanted to make our way down to explore （探索）the area， so Bob started to climb down and I followed him． Unluckily， some rocks came down after us． One of them nearly hit my head． We could not get back up． We shouted and shouted for help． but for a long time no help came． I was really scared． I wanted to cry． Then， we heard some sounds． Someone had heard us． A woman tied （系 ）a rope around herself while a man at the cliff top held the rope． She made her way down to save us．

My parents were relieved （宽慰的）that I was unhurt， but they were angry that I had done such a risky thing． I apologized and promised that I would not do anything like that again．

A． Surprised．

In the 13th century． Marco Polo the world known Italian travelled， saw many wonderful things in China． One of the things he discovered was money made of paper． People in the West did not have such kind of money until the I5th century． However ，the Chinese began to use it in the 7th century．

Paper was invented by a Chinese man called Cai Lun almost 2，000years ago． But it was not made in Europe until the year 1100． Four hundred years later， a German discovered that he could make the best paper from trees． After that countries rich in forests， such as Canada ，Sweden， America， Finland became the most important ones in paper making．

Paper can be used in many ways． The common uses include 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， 800tons of paper in our city． It takes 17trees to make one ton of paper． This means that we are cutting down nearly 48.000trees every day． The fact is that it takes more than 10years 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．

（1）When did the Chinese begin to use paper money 　　？

（2）Why did Canada become an important country in paper making 　　？

（3）In Finland． paper is used for 　　．

A：（3）　　

B： Yes． I have． But she refused to listen．

A： （4）　　

B： No． I don t know．

A： Maybe she doesn't feel sure of herself．（5）　　

B： Maybe． What shall I do then？

A： You can introduce her to your other friends and encourage her to join in more．

How do we know the time？ A clock，a watch or a cell phone can help us． However many years ago there were no clocks and knowing the time was not so easy． Over the centuries people have developed different w（1） 　　of telling the time．

About 5，500years ago， the Egyptians i（2） 　　the sun clock． This was a tall stone structure． Its shadow （影子）showed the movement of the s（3） 　　they were able to determine（测定）midday．

About 3，500years ago，the Egyptians made a sundial． It was smaller than the sun clock and could measure （测量）the time for half a day． On c（4） 　　days or at night it was impossible to tell the time with a sun clock or a sundial．

Water clocks were the f（5） 　　clocks not to use the sun． The idea is simple． Water flows（流动） from one container（容器）to another． When the water reaches a certain l（6） 　　it moves a lever （控制杆）and this shows the hours． The Egyptians used water clocks about 3，400years ago． These clocks were popular in the Middle East and China but they f （7） 　　to keep accurate（精确的）time．

In the 13th century，the mechanical clock was invented． This was more accurate， b（8） 　　was expensive to make． Over the next few centuries it was developed． For example， springs（发条）were added around 1500． This i（9） 　　accuracy and allowed clocks to be smaller．

In 1927， the first quartz clock was developed． Clocks became cheaper to build and own． People began depending on them more and more to2 run businesses， markets and so on．

More recently， in1956， came the digital clock． And nowadays satellites（人造卫星）send our cell phones the time to the exact second． There has been a lot of progress in timekeeping but some things never c（10） 　　． Man of us still have trouble getting out of bed on time and not missing appointments．
