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 (手帕) and not paper ones. when we go shopping, we can use fewer paper bags. if the shop assistant gives 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 itnow, 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( )2. people in western countries first used paper money in the_ century. a. 17th b. 15th c. 13th d. 7th( )3. about _ tons of paper is thrown away every day in our city. a. 1,700 b. 2,000 c. 2,800 d. 48,000( ) 4. which of the following is not the way of saving paper?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 is the best title of the passage?
