In the 13th century, the famous Indian traveller, Marco Polo, travelled a long way to China. He saw many wonderful things. One of the things he discovered was that 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 them into a book.
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 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 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 also use cotton handkerchiefs（手帕） and 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 refuse (拒绝) 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.

In one way of thinking, failure is part of life. In 26 way, failure may be a way towards success. The “Spider-story” is often 27 Robert Bruce, leader of the Scots in the 13th century, was hiding in a cave from the English. He watched a spider 28 a web. The spider tried to reach across a rough 29 in the rock. He tried six times. On the 30 time he made it and went on to make his web. Bruce is said to have been encouraged by this and to have gone on to 31 the English. Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, made 32 models that failed before he found the right way to make one. Once he was asked 33 he kept on trying to make a new type of battery when he had failed so often, he replied, “Failure? I have 34 failures. Now I know 50,000 ways it won't 35”.
So what? First, always think about your failure. What caused 36 ？Were conditions right? Were you in top from yourself? What can you change? So things will go 37 next times.
Second, is the goal（目标 ） you're trying to reach the right one? Try to do some 38 about what your real goals may be. Think about this question. “If I do succeed in this, where will it get me?" This may help you prevent failure in things you shouldn't be doing any way.
The third thing to keep in 39 about failure is that it's a part of life. Learn to “live with yourself" even though you may have 40 ．
