What do you think of the most important inventions in the world? The TV? The printing? The telephone? Or the computer? A report shows that they are not the only important inventions. Here are three other important inventions.
One of the simplest(最簡單的) inventions is the toilet(沖水式馬桶). Before toilets, waste ran into rivers from people’s houses. Illnesses were common in big cities, and it was often difficult to find clean drinking water.
Animal food is another important invention. Before the invention, most animals were killed（殺死） every autumn because there was not enough food for them in winter.  After hay (干草) became a kind of common animal food, animals could live through the long winter. The third great invention is glasses. Glasses help people read, write and do “close work” after the age of 45. Without glasses, the world would be difficult for the people above 45.

  In the 13th century, the famous Italian traveler, Marco Polo, traveled a long way to China. 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 11th 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 them into a book.
Now paper still comes from trees. We use a lot of paper every day. ①If 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. ②Every day, people all over the world throw away about 2800 tons (噸) of paper. It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper. This means we are cutting down 48000 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 use 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 ones. When we go shopping, we can use fewer paper bags. If the shop assistant does give us a paper bag, we can save it and reuse it later.
Everyone can help save paper. If we all think carefully, we can help protect trees. But we should do it now, before it is too late.
小題1: 將①處翻譯成漢語。
____________________________________________________________________________
小題2:根據(jù)②處完成下面的句子。（每空一詞）
Every day, about 2800 tons of paper _________ ________ away by people all over the world.
小題3: 根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容完成下面的句子。（每空一詞）
Paper is made from trees, so we should try our best to _________ paper so that we can help ________ the trees.

We know that many animals do not stay in one place . Birds, fish and other animals move from one place to another at a certain time. They move for different reasons: most of them move to find food easily, but others move to get away from places that are too crowed.
When cold weather comes, many birds move to warmer places to find food. Some fish give birth in warm water and move to cold water to feed. The most famous migration(遷移) of the fish, which is called “salmon(大馬哈)”. This fish is born in fresh water but it travels many miles to salt water. There it spends its life. When it is old, it returns to its birthplace in fresh water. Then it gives birth and dies there. In northern Europe, there is a kind of mouse. They leave their mountain homes when they become too crowed. They move down to the low land. Sometimes they move all the way to the seaside, and many of them are killed when they fall into the sea.
Recently, scientists have studied the migration of a kind of lobster(龍蝦). Every year, when the season of bad weather arrives, the lobsters get into a long line and start to walk across the floor of the ocean. Nobody knows why they do this, and nobody knows where they go.
So, sometimes we know why humans and animals move from one place to another, but at others times we don’t. Maybe living things just like to travel.

One morning, a blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said, “I am blind, please help me.”
There were only a few coins in the hat. A man was walking by. He took out a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words on it. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by could see the words.
Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, “Are you the one who changed my sign in the morning? What did you write? ”
The man said, “I only wrote the truth, I said what you said, but in a different way. ”
What he had written was, “ Today is a beautiful day, but I cannot see it.”
Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing?
Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat. The second sign told people that they were able to enjoy the beauty of the day, but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind.
The first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind.
There are at least two lessons we can learn from this story.
The first is: Treasure（珍惜）what you have. Someone else has less. Try your best to help those who need your help.
The second is: Be creative(有創(chuàng)造力的). Think differently. There is always a better way!
小題1:Who sat on the steps of a building asking for help?
小題2:A man walked by and gave the boy a few coins, didn’t he?
小題3:What did the man do to the boy’s sign?
小題4:What happened to the boy’s hat soon?
小題5:How did the man write the sign?
小題6:Which sign do you prefer, the first one or the second one ? Why ?（answer the question in no more than 20 words）

Let’s face it: homework can be almost as frustrating (沮喪) for parents as it is for kids. Getting kids to do their homework can be a challenge, and when they do sit down to study, a lot of other problems can appear.
Doing homework may not be as fun as playing video games or chatting with friends, but it shouldn’t be something that kids hate. Your children’s assignments (任務(wù)) should help them build a skill or learn something new.
You can help by being a homework monitor, stepping in to answer questions or offer encouragement. This gives you a chance to see what they are learning and how well they understand the material. It helps you understand their learning style and shows you care about their education.
Many kids refuse to study by asking why they have to learn things they’ll never use in real life. If your son or daughter shows little interest in their assignments, you can make them seem more important by pointing out ways you use them in daily life.
If parents feel that their kids are overloaded (超負(fù)荷), they can talk about it with the teachers. If you think it takes your child too long to finish homework, try to make a decision whether the problem lies in having too much work or managing time poorly.
If your child complains of boredom while doing homework, give him or her the following suggestions:
Get help from friends: if your children are bored with an assignment, let them call a friend for help or invite a friend over to work on it with them.
Add physical activity: set mini-goals for homework and allow time for relaxing, jumping around, or a snack after each goal is completed. For a kid who can’t sit still, find active ways to study.
Turn the tables: let your children teach you a lesson. Let them give you a test on the things they have just learned.
