Do you know what a castle is? A castle is a building special to Europe. Castles were built in the Middle Ages by king and other powerful people who live in. Castles were used by people to protect themselves from their enemies. They are big buildings made form stone and wood.

Today there are still castles all over Europe. Some are in ruins(废墟). But some built later are still in good repair and used even today. One example is Windsor Castle, which is a home to the British queen. It is in the country or Berkshire, not far from London.

Castles have walls around them. In the old days, soldiers would stand on the walls to guard the people in the castle. If enemies came they would shoot arrows(箭) and throw stones at them. Castles also had moats. A moat is a river around the wall that makes it difficult for enemies to get in. It could be either dry or filled with water.

Other people form younger countries love European castles. In the US there are rich people who have brought broken parts of castles to their country and rebuilt them. And some people build “replica” castles---modern copies of Castle.

Think of all the things you throw away：juice bottles，soda cans，candy covers．It adds up．How much rubbish do you produce? Americans throw away about 1 ton of rubbish per person every year．That's 2000 pounds of rubbish! Most of the rubbish gets covered in big holes in the round called landfills(垃圾掩埋法)．

A lot of this rubbish can be recycled，or turned back to something useful．The main things we recycle today are made of metal and paper．

People recycle for many reasons．One of the main reasons is to protect resources(资源)．Making new cans out of old ones means less aluminum(铝) is needed for new cans．

This leads to a second reason people recycle：it saves energy．Recycling old aluminum cans take much less energy than making new aluminum．To make new aluminum，you need to mine metal ore(矿石) from the ground，remove it，and refine it，into a finished metal．

Recycling also protects valuable land．By recycling，we produce less rubbish．That means fewer landfills are needed for dropping our rubbish．Because metals are some what costly to make，they are the world's most recycled materials．About two-thirds of all steel(钢) is recycled．

Almost all drink cans are made of aluminum．Americans recycle about one-third of their used aluminum cans．Empty cans are sent to special factories．There，they are cleaned，melted，and made into new pieces of aluminum．

Americans use lots of paper — mostly in the form of newspapers，magazines，and cardboard boxes．In fact，paper takes up more space in landfills than any other material．

Old paper can be cut and made are into new paper．Americans recycle a little more than one-third of their paper rubbish．New papers are made from trees，each ton of recycled paper saves about 17 trees!

　　In the 13^th 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 15^th century．However, people in China began to use paper money in the 7^th 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．
