To me, life without music would not be exciting. I realize that this is not true for everybody, Many people get quite well without going to the concert, and listening to the record. But music plays an important part in everyone's life, whether he realizes it or not. Try to imagine, for example, what films or TV plays would be like without music. Would the feelings, the moving plot(情節(jié)), and the greatest interests, be as exciting or dramatic(戲劇性)? I'm not sure about it.
Now, we have been speaking of music in its more common meaning——the kind of music we hear in the concert hall. But if we look at some parts of music more closely, we discover them in our everyday life too——in the rhythm(旋律) of the sea, the melody of a bird in the woods and so on. So music surely has meaning for everyone, in some way or other. And, of course, it has special for everyone, in some way or other. And, of course, it has special meaning for those who have spent all, their lives working on playing or writing music.

The horses are expensive to feed, but it is even more expensive to look after them. Because the horses must walk on the streets, they need special horseshoes.

In the thirteenth century, the famous Italian traveler, Marco Polo, traveled a long way to China. During his stay in China, he saw many wonderful things. One of the things he discovered was that the Chinese used paper money. In western countries, people didn't use paper money until the fifteenth century. However, people in China began to use paper money in the seventh century.
A Chinese man called Cai Lun invented paper almost two thousand years ago. He made it from wood. He took the wood from trees and made it into paper. He then put this 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 two thousand and eight hundred tons of paper in our city. It takes seventeen trees to make one ton of paper. This means that we are cutting nearly forty-eight thousand trees every day. Since it takes more than ten years for 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 choose drinks in bottles instead of those in paper packets. We can also use cotton handkerchiefs and not 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 reuse 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.
1.When he was in China, Marco Polo ________.
[ ]
A.discovered Cai Lun invented paper.
B.learned to make paper
C.saw many wonderful things
D.read a lot of books

[ ]
A.To use both sides of every piece of paper.
B.To use the paper bags from shops more than once.
C.To use cotton handkerchiefs instead of paper ones.
D.To grow more trees.
5.Which of the following is NOT TRUE?
[ ]
A.If we keep on wasting paper, we will have no paper to use.
B.The Chinese used paper money much earlier than the people in western countries.

Careful and careless are as different as fire and water. But it is strange that quite a few scientists have both these qualities. They are both careful and careless. Newton, the famous English scientist, was such a person.
Once Newton invited a friend to dinner at home. When they were ready to eat, Newton left to get a bottle of wine. But after his friend had waited for a long time, Newton still didn't come back. At last his friend found Newton in his lab. When Newton was going to get the bottle of wine, he suddenly had a new idea for his experiment. So he quickly forgot his friend and the dinner. Another time, Newton was leading a horse up a mountain, and held the rein in his hand. While he was walking, he kept thinking about problems. When he got to the top of the mountain, he found that the rein was not in his hand and the horse was gone.
Einstein was another example. Once he was waiting for a friend at a bridge, while waiting, he became lost in thought. It started to rain. The rain kept on for some time. When he took out a piece of paper to write something down, the paper was wet and then he knew that it was raining.
