What is the book made of? What we read books or newspapers,we hardly stop to think about the paper which is used to make them. Without this invention,our lives would be very different.
Paper is one of the most important inventions of all time. The word paper comes from the word papyrus—a grasslike plant. The Egyptians first used papyrus around the year 3000 B.C. to make a kind of paper. In A.D. 105,a Chinese man named Ts’aiLun created a new type of paper using pieces of old cloth. For centuries,people all over the world used this Chinese method(方式) to make paper. In 1838,Charles Fenerty,a Canadian man,invented a new method of papermaking using wood. Today,most of the paper we use is made from wood.
Think again about your book. Did you use paper money to buy it? If so,you can thank the Chinese. They invented paper money in the ninth century A. D. The government began using paper notes as money because there wasn’t enough copper(钢) to make coins.
Today,it’s hard to imagine life without paper. We use it to communicate in many different ways. We also use many important products that are made of paper. Take for example,toilet paper. Many believe that an American. Joseph Gayetty,invented it in 1857. Walter Alcock,an Englishman,later had the idea to put the paper on rolls. By 1907,using toilet paper was common in the United States and England.

Are some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence (智力) developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. In some degree, our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no education can make a genius (天才) out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich environment. Therefore, the limits(限度) of person’s intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This point of view, now is held by most experts.
It is easy to show that intelligence is something that we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be intelligence. If we take two strangers by chance from the population, it seems that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we compare two twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.
Imagine now that we take two twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory separately where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this shows that environment as well as birth plays an important part. This result is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence.
1. How is man’s intelligence given?
A. At birth.
B. Through education.
C. Both at birth and through education.
D. Neither at birth nor through education.
2. According to the passage, if a child is born with low intelligence, what might happen to him later?
A. Become a genius.
B. Still become a genius if he should be given special education.
C. Reach his intelligence limits in rich environment.
D. Never reach his intelligence in his life.
3. What can we learn from the example of the twins going to a university and to a factory?
A. The importance of their intelligence. B. The role of environment on intelligence.
C. The importance of their jobs. D. The part that birth plays.
4. What statement is TRUE according to the passage?
A. No education can help make a genius.
B. Personality is important as intelligence which was given to people at birth.
C. People who have similar degree of intelligence must be relatives.
D. Environment influences people in intelligence developing.
5. How does the writer make his idea clear?
A. By giving explanation. B. By giving an example.
C. By giving figures(数字). D. By giving suggestions.

Roosegaarde, an artist and designer from Dutch has thought of a device(装置). He hopes it will make Beijing's sky clear again and help the people with masks breathe fresh air again in Beijing.
An electromagnetic field(电磁场) will pull the dirty particles in the air to the ground, and then they can be easily cleaned.
Roosegaarde says, "It's like when you have a balloon which has static electricity(静电) and your hair goes toward it. Smog happens the same way as the hair."
His workplace has reached an agreement with the Beijing government to test the technology in one of the capital's parks. Beijing's skies are regularly covered by grey smog. Serious cases of air pollution are often reported in Beijing. Roosegaarde says an indoor test has already shown it works well and he is confident of the results. With the help of a team of scientists and engineers, he is sure that the device can be worked outside.
"Beijing is a very good place to test the device because the smog in Beijing is quite low and there's not so much wind." says Roosegaarde. "We'll be able to make the air pure but the most difficult thing is to remove the smog. As a result, you can see the sun again."
Roosegaarde also reminds us that his aim is not only to give a plan to solve Beijing's dirty air pollution but also to make people pay attention to the environment problem. He adds, "This is not the real answer for smog. The real answer to do with it is clean cars, different industry and different lifestyles. " However, he hopes the project will make the citizens realize the differences between clean air and smog-filled air.
1. The device works by_______.
A helping keep the particles out with more masks
B. pulling particles to the ground with an electromagnetic field
C. absorbing hair with a balloon with static
D. creating clean air and letting it out into the sky
2. What does Roosegaarde use his device for?
A To make smog. B. To make the air clean
C. To make static electricity. D. To make Beijing's parks beautiful.
3. After reading the passage, we can know_______.
A the device doesn't work well indoors
B. the people with masks can breathe fresher air
C. Beijing government agreed to test the device
D. clean cars aren't helpful to the environment in Beijing
4. Roosegaarde hopes people in Beijing can_______.
A pay attention to air pollution and solve the problem finally
B. invent more devices to clean the smog in Beijing
C. drive modern cars and try different lifestyles
D. realize how serious the pollution they're facing is
