13．Paper is one of the most important inventions of all time．The word paper comes from the word papyrus--a kind of plant．The Egyptians first（ 61）used（use） papyrus around the year 3000B．C．to create a kind of paper．In 105A．D．，a Chinese man （62）named（name） Cai Lun created a new type of paper using pieces of old cloth．For centuries，people all over the world used this Chinese method to make paper．In（ 63）the early 19^th century，Charles Fenerty，a Canadian man，invented a new method of papermaking using wood．Today，most of the paper we use is made from wood．
Paper money was invented in earlier Song Dynasty in China．The government began using paper notes （64）as money because there wasn't enough copper（铜） to make coins．
Today，it's hard to imagine life without paper．We use it to communicate （65）in many different ways．We also use many important products（66）that/which are made of paper．Take，for example，toilet paper．Many believe that an American，Joseph Gayetty，invented（ 67）it in 1857．Walter Alcock，an Englishman，later had the idea of （68）putting（put） the paper on rolls．Soon，toilet paper was（ 69）commonly（common） used in the United States and England．Imagine （70）what life today would be like without this important invention!

10．It was reported that a 95-year-old Grandma was refused to be supported by her eight children and was forced to take her own children to court．
Treating the old well is a traditional virtue in China．For those who don't，it is necessary to read the letter written by a parent：
Dear son，
The day that you see me old and I am already not in good health，have patience andtry to understand me．
If I get dirty when eating，if I can not dress，please have patience and remember the hours I spent teaching it to you．If，when I speak to you，I repeat the same things thousand and one times，do not interrupt me，listen to me．When you were small，I had to read to you thousand and one times the same story until you got to sleep．When I do not want to have a shower，neither shame me nor scold me．Remember when I had to chase you with thousand excuses I invented in order that you didn't want to bathe．When you see my knowing little about new technologies，give me the necessary time and do not look at me with your mocking（嘲弄）．I taught you how to do so many things：to eat food，to dress well，to confront life…When at some moment I lose the memory or the thread of our conversation，let me have the necessary time to remember，and if I cannot do it，do not become nervous，as the most important thing is not our conversation but surely to be with you and to have you listening to me．
If ever I do not want to eat，do not force me．I know well when I need to an when not．When my tired legs do not allow me to walk，give me your hand，the same way I did when you gave your first step．And when someday I say to you that I do not want to live any more----that I want to rest forever，do not get angry．Someday you will understand．
Try to understand that my age is not lived but survived．Some day you will discover that，despite my mistakes，I always wanted the best thing for you and I tried to prepare the way for you．Please be next to me，try to understand me and help me as I did it when you started living．I will pay you by a smile and by the immense love I have had always for you．
I love you，son．

I am travelling back with my parents from seeing my grandparents then it started to snow．At first，I thought it was fun and everything looked beautifully．I was looking forward to make a snowman on the playground at school the next day，and suddenly the car drove off road and into a channel．My father called the rescue tea，but they said that would be a long time before they could reach us．However，we sang songs and told stories to pass the time．Several hour later，the rescue team pulled their car out of the channel．At last，we managed to drive very slowly to home．I would never forget this experience．

8．It's amazing how we grow from careless kids to responsible teens．What happens in the course that makes us responsible now？It's the seed that we sow in the beginning which grows and becomes a huge tree．As I sit here，silently thinking about my growth，I wonder over some questions which don't have an answer but it's because of such unanswerable situations that life has become a roller coaster ride．
As a kid，I used to read a lot of story books．In one particular book，I read a story of a bird．From then on，that has become an integral （必不可少的） part of my life．It described a male bird which takes a lot of pain to build a nest and the female bird takes shelter in it and nourishes the baby．When the bird learns to fly，the whole family flies off to a different place leaving behind the beautiful nest for other birds to grow their family in it．It made me wonder．How could they so easily sacrifice their house built with so much effort？
One night，when I was deep in sleep，I got this particular dream．I was walking miles on the endless road，totally isolated but lined with beautiful trees on the either side．Fascinated by the greenery，I marched towards it only to end up deeper and deeper into the greenery．I happened to stop upon seeing something．It was a massive，wonderful house．I fell in love with that amazing part of art．Yeah，it was indeed a piece of art with every nook and corner touched artistically and lovingly．I don't know why I felt that it was done lovingly．Maybe because，things turn out to be beautiful only when we put our love into it-just like the food prepared by mom which tastes more delicious with her love．
I explored the house only to fall more in love with it．There was a sloping roof which matched with the greenery around； the large central open courtyard reminded me of the activities that might have taken place there which felt lively even now when it is completely deserted．The small water body that kept the house cool added to the beauty of the house-of course，it was all dried up now．It's really wonderful how such things add life to the spaces which otherwise just become structures．Such liveliness and happening turns the house into a home．They say‘THE HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS'，but now I began to feel it．This is where my heart belongs．This is what I'm destined to do．
When I woke up from the dream，I was clear about everything．I realized where that mile of walk was intending me to lead．I realized what message my dream wanted to convey me．And years later，when finally my turn of choosing my destination came，I simply closed my eyes，held that book in my hand，pressed it against my chest and relived the dream．When I opened my eyes，I was sure what to do．I decided to choose the road-less traveled．Yes，I took up architecture as my profession because this is what I am destined to do．I wanted to do the same thing that the male bird in the story did，to take pain in building a beautiful house and let others stay in it．This is my dream come true and the happiness that I gain now from this profession is indescribable．

7．I cheated on a unit test in math class this morning during second period with Mr Burke．Afterward，I was too sick to eat lunch just thinking about it．
I came straight home from school，went to my room，and lay on the floor trying to decide whether it would be better to run away from home now or after supper．Mostly I wished I was dead．It wasn't even an accident that I cheated．
Yesterday Mr．Burke announced there'd be a unit test and anyone who didn't pass would have to come to school on Saturday，most particularly me，since I didn't pass the last unit test．I did plan to study just to prove to him that I'm plenty smart---which I am mostly---except in math．
Anyway，I got my desk ready to study on．Just when I was ready to work，Nicho came into my room with our new rabbit and it jumped on my desk and knocked the flashcards all over the floor．What a mess!Nicho and I finally took the rabbit outside but then Philip came to my room and also Marty from next door and before long it was dinner．
After dinner my father said I could watch a special on television if I'd done all my homework．Of course I said I had．That was the beginning．I felt terrible telling my father a lie about the homework．
It was nine o'clock when I got up to my room and that was too late to study for the unit test so I lay in my bed with the light off and decided what I would do the next day when I was in Mr．Burke's math class not knowing the 8-and 9-times tables．
So，you see，the cheating was planned after all．
The next day，I'd go into class as usual，acting like things were going just great．I'd sit down next to Stanley Plummer---he is so smart in math it makes you sick---and from time to time，I'd glance over at his paper to copy the answers．Everything was okay except that my stomach was upside down and I wanted to die．
The fact is，I couldn't believe what I'd done in cold blood．I began to wonder about myself．I've never been a wonderful kid that everybody in the world loves．I have a bad temper and I like to have my own way and I argue a lot．Sometimes I can be mean．But most of the time I've thought of myself as a pretty decent kid．Mostly I work hard，I care for little kids，and I tell the truth．Now all of a sudden I've turned into this criminal．It's hard to believe I'm just a boy．And all because of one stupid math test．
Lying on the floor of my room，I begin to think that probably I've been bad all along．It just took this math test to clinch it．I'll probably never tell the truth again．
I tell my mother I'm sick when she calls me to come down for dinner．She doesn't believe me，but puts me to bed anyhow．I lie there in the early winter darkness wondering what terrible thing I'll be doing next when my father comes in and sits down on my bed．
"What's the matter？"he asks．"I've got a stomachache，"I say．Luckily，it's too dark to see his face．"Is that all？""Yeah．""Mommy says you've been in your room since school．""I was sick there too，"I say．"She thinks something happened today and you're upset．"That's the thing that really drives me crazy about my mother．She knows things sitting inside my head the same as if I was turned inside out．
"Well，"my father says．I can tell he doesn't believe me．"My stomach is feeling sort of upset．"I hedge（避免做正面答复）．"Okay，"he says and he pats my leg and gets up．
Just as he shuts the door to my room I call out to him in a voice I don't even recognize as my own．"How come？"he calls back not surprised or anything．So I tell him I cheated on this math test．To tell the truth，I'm pretty much surprised at myself．I didn't plan to tell him anything．
He doesn't say anything at first and that just about kills me．I'd be fine if he'd spank（打屁股） me or something．And then he says I'll have to call Mr．Burke．It's not what I had in mind．"Now？"I ask surprised．"Now，"he says．He turns on the light and pulls off my covers．"I'm not going to，"I say．
But I do it．I call Mr．Burke，and I tell him exactly what happened，even that I decided to cheat the night before the test．He says I'll come on Saturday to take another test，which is okay with me，and I thank him a whole lot for being understanding and all．
"Today I thought I was turning into a criminal，"I tell my father when he turns out my light．
Sometimes my father kisses me good night and sometimes he doesn't．I never know．But tonight he does．
