Technology is everywhere. We see it any place we go and, in fact, almost all of us carry some piece oftechnology with us every time we leave the house. What I always forget, though, is just how useful andpowerful technology can be when we want to help others

There is not a single room in my house that does not have some electronic devices（設備） lying around init. Whenever I am at home， I am almost always using at least one electronic device. If you walked into myliving room on any given day， you would find that， first， I have the television on. At the same time， I usuallyhave my laptop resting on my knee， or I will be using my mobile phone， Even when i＇m not at home I amalways using my phone， and at work or in cafes， I sit down and connect to the local wireless network on myipcop.

I must say that I waste a lot of time on the computer and the time I spend on it could be much betterspent if I were to take up a little online volunteering

The technology we carry about everywhere can have a great power to do good for the world and to helpothers and recently I discovered just how much online volunteering there is to do in the world. From usingyour language skills to do translations， to developing and managing projects and helping with IT work， thereis so much that so many people can do to help people in their own countries and across the world. The UnitedNations， in fact， has a huge page with “Volunteers Recruited” on its website.

This work can support the poor and help charities who cannot pay for staff. Many organizations onlyrequire you to work an hour a week-some even less. And the support provided by online volunteers can reallyhelp make a difference to those in need.

There are many kinds of music in the world, pop music, classical music, folk music and so on. Do you know country music? It's a traditional kind of music from the southern states of America. I like it very much! It will take me away for a while after I am tired. The guitars and songs will take me to mountains and fields.

Country music usually talks of everyday life and feeling. It's like the spirit of America, easy to understand, slow and simple. Country music developed in the Southern United States.

When people in the countryside moved to towns and cities to look for work, they took their music with them. Country music continued to change and became popular across America.

In the 13th century, Marco Polo, the world known Italian traveller, 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 15th century. However, (A) 中國人在七世紀就開始使用紙幣了.

Paper was invented by a Chinese man called Cai Lun almost 2,000 years 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 form trees. After that countries rich in forests, such as Canada. Sweden, America, Finland became the most important (B) ones in paper making.

Paper can be used in many ways. It’s usually used for printing books and newspapers. 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（使絕緣）from (C) or cold with paper.

However, we have to understand that paper still comes from trees now. (D) If we keep on wasting so much paper, there will not be any trees left some day in the near future. 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 down nearly 48,000 trees every day. The fact is that it takes more than 10 years for a tree grow.

So we must start (E) 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 between using paper and protecting trees, and do it now before it is too late.
