  In the 13 th century,the famous Italian traveler,Marco Polo,travelled a long way toChina. During his stay inChina, he saw many wonderful things. One of the things he discovered was that the Chinese used paper money. In western countries,people did not use paper money until the 15th century. However,people inChinabegan to use paper money in the 7th century. A Chinese man called Cai Lun invented paper almost 2000 years ago. He made it from wood. He took the wood from trees and made it 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 country. It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper. This means that we’re cutting nearly 47,600 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 making notes. We can choose drinks in bottles instead of those in paper packets. We can also use cotton handkerchiefs (手帕) but not paper ones. When we go shopping,we try not to use paper bags. If the shop assistant does give us a paper bag,we can save it and reuse it.

  Everyone can help to save paper. If we think it over,we can help to protect trees. However,we should do it now,before it is too late.

   Lu Xun is one of the greatest Chinese writers of the 20th century. Besides his famous stories,he also wrote many influential articles about the living conditions of Chinese people,f  Bom in 1881 to a wealthy family,Lu Xun had a happy childhood. In 1893，however,his grandfather,a senior government official，was put into prison for taking money. At the same time,his father became seriously ill. From that time on，his family were no longer accepted by their relatives and friends. These early experiences greatly influenced his writing.

  By the time Lu Xun arrived in Nanjing to study at university in 1899，he already believed that Chinese society had to change and become modem. In 1902 he went to study inJapan. There,he began writing articles for several Chinese student magazines. He showed a gift for writing and translating and he even wrote several books,although none was popular. He returned toChinain 1909 because he was in need of money.

  After working for several years as a teacher in Beijing,Lu Xun again returned to writing. In 1918,he wrote his famous short story Diary of a Mad man.It was the first Chinese novel published using the everyday language that people spoke,which helped make it a great success. This,together with his novel The True Story of Ah1921) , made Lu Xun a leading Chinese writer.

  Although successful,Lu Xun still worried greatly aboutChina’s future. In 1926,he moved to Shanghai and gave up writing stories in order to devote himself to what he called “ pen warfare ”. He now only wrote articles which called on the people to fight against the government. For this,the government stopped him from publishing any more books. He was forced to write his articles using false names.

Since his death in 1936,Lu Xun’s importance and influence have grown. Today,many of his writings are included in school textbooks and his works are read by millions around the world.
