1. A Chinese man called Cai Lun invented paper about 2 ,000 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 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 from now on.2. If we don't, we will not have enough time to grow more trees.

So how can we save paper? 3. Some people suggest we should use both sides of every piece of paper. We can also choose drinks in bottles instead of those in paper. We can also use cotton handkerchiefs（手帕） and not paper ones.4. 当我们逛街时，我们可以使用更少的纸袋子。If the shop assistant gives use 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. 5. 让我们现在采取行动节约用纸。

We have always been interested in the Moon. 2, 000 years ago people already knew it circles around the Earth and it is in different places in the sky at different times of the year. At that time, everything about the Moon was learned by watching it carefully in the sky.

When scientists could use telescopes (望远镜) to study the Moon more clearly.. Their ideas began to change. They could see that there were lots of rocks on the surface of the Moon. Most scientists thought Moon rocks would be different from the rocks on the Earth.

in 1969, moon rocks were finally brought to the earth and studied. much to their surprise, scientists found that, except for water, the Moon and the Earth were made of the same things. Once again new ideas came out according to the new information.

After years of study, most scientists now think that the Moon was once part of the Earth. They believe about 4 million years ago, something of the same size as Mars hit the Earth. This sent billions of rocks into space around the Earth. These rocks slowly joined together and at last became the Moon.

In the future, our ideas about the Moon may change again. However, we will still be interested in the Moon.

We have always been interested in the moon. 2, 000 years ago, people already knew it moves around the earth and where it would be in the sky at different times of the year. At that time, everything about the moon was learned by watching it carefully in the sky.

When scientists could use telescopes to study the moon more closely, their ideas began to change. They could see the moon was made of rocks. Most scientists thought moon rocks would be different from those on the earth. This was because they believed the moon had once been a planet that had been caught in the earth’s gravity millions of years earlier.

In 1969, moon rocks were finally brought to the earth and studied. Much to their surprise, scientists found that, except for water, the moon and the earth were made of the same things. Once again new ideas were needed for this new information.

After years of study, most scientists now think that the moon was once part of the earth. They believe very early in its history, maybe 4 billion years ago, something about the size of Mars hit the earth. This sent billions of rocks into space around our planet. These rocks slowly joined together and after many years became the moon.

In the future, even though our ideas about the moon may change again, we will still be interested in it.

1.Before 1969 most scientists thought the moon was _____.
