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 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 Cai Lun invented paper almost 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 it into books.
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, there will be no paper. Every day, people throw away about 2,800 tons (吨) 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. If we don't, we will not have enough time to grow more trees to take the place of those we used 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 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.
58. When he was in China, Marco Polo_________.
A. discovered Cai Lun invented paper B. learned to make paper
C. saw many wonderful things D. read a lot of books
59. People in western countries first used paper money in the ______ century.
A. 17TH B. 15TH C. 13TH D. 7th
60. About__________ tons of paper are thrown away every day.
A. 1,700 B. 2,000 C. 2,800 D. 48,000
61. Which is the best title(题目) of the passage?
A. Saving Paper. B. The History of Paper.
C. Cotton Handkerchiefs Back Again. D. Cai Lun, the Great Inventor.

Ⅷ．书面表达。（15分）（仅供参考）
Li Ming spent too much time playing computer games and he fell behind others. As a good/close friend of his, I must do something to help him.
First, I must tell him that playing computer games too much is bad for his health, especially for his eyes. So he must give it up. I can play more sports with him after school. Maybe he will become more interested in sports than computer games.
And then I’ll ask him to concentrate more on his study. Of course, I will try my best to help him with all his subjects. I think I can do it in many fun ways and let him find much fun in studying.
At the same time, I’ll ask both his parents and our teachers to help him, too. If I try these, I’m sure he will make great progress soon.
