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 to use less paper now．If we don't，we will not have enough time to grow 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 per bag，we can save it and reuse it later．
Everyone can help to save paper．If we all think carefully，we can help to protect tree．But we should do it now，before it is too late．
1．What's the passage about?
2．How many trees are we cutting every day?
3．How long does it take for a tree to grow?
4．Why should we choose drinks in bottles instead of those in paper packets?
5．What will happen if we keep on wasting paper?

There is a place on our earth where hot water and steam come up from under the ground．It is a large island in the Pacific Ocean．The island is North Island，in New Zealand．
The planet on which we live is a ball of very hot rock．It is a good thing for us that the outside shell is cold．If it were hot，no one could live here．What if our earth were only as big as an egg? Then the outside part would be as deep as the egg's shell．
The earth's shell has cracks in it in some places．In New Zealand this shell seems to have more cracks than in other places in the earth．There are spots where the ground is so hot that it burns the bottom of your shoes．In some places，hot water shoots into the air from time to time．At other points，you can see steam coming up from pools of hot water．
The people who live in these places make use of the heat coming from inside the earth．
Some of them cook in the hot pools They put food into a basket and place it in the water．Washing clothes is done in the same way．
Many people bring the hot water from below the earth into their homes．They do this by putting a pipe（管子）a hundred feet or more into the ground．In this way they get hot water and steam for cooking and washing，and for healing their homes．

Monty Roberts was the son of a poor family．He liked horses．He had a dream to own a horse ranch ever since he was a little child．
One day when he was at high school, he was asked to write a paper．It was about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up．He worked hard on it，and wrote a seven-page paper．In the paper he described his dream of owning a big horse ranch someday．
The next day he handed it in to his teacher．Two days later he received his paper back．On the front page was a large red F(fail)with a note that read，“See me after class．”
