5.Many people believe that paper started with the ancient Egyptians.However,this is not exactly true.Instead,5,000years ago,Egyptians used a material called papyrus (纸莎草纸),which was made from the stems (茎) of river plants.They put these flat pieces together to create a larger flat sheet (簿片),on which Ancient Egyptians wrote like paper.
But the paper we know today did not exist until 3,000years later.It was created in China.No one knows who first invented paper.But history does tell us about one man who improved the process.It was in the year 105.A man named Cai Lun began to use many materials to make paper.He took the outer coveting of a tree,pieces of net and cloth,broke these materials down into very small pieces and mixed them with water.Then he pressed out the water,and all that was left was a thin sheet of paper.
Paper quickly spread to other areas of the world.In the Middle East,people made paper thicker and also made it easier to produce quickly.From the Middle East,paper traveled to Europe and then the Americas.For many years paper cost a lot of money and time to create.But in the 19th century,people began to create paper from wood.
Paper changed the way people lived.Long ago,when paper was difficult to make,people only used paper for special purposes.Government officials would write important laws on it.Explorers drew maps of the world on it.But common people did not use it.As paper became easier to make,it was used for more things.People wrapped ( 包裹) it around gifts.Paper was also used as money.Today people use paper for even more things.
