Only half of the worlds paper is used for books and newspapers.Paper is very good for keeping you warm. You have perhaps seen homeless men asleep on a large number of newspapers. In Finland, it is sometimes 40 in winter. The farmers wear paper boots（靴子）in the snow. Nothing could be warmer.Each year, more and more things are made of paper. We have had paper cups and plates for a long time. But now we hear that chairs, tables, and even beds can be made of paper. With paper boots and shoes, you can also wear paper hats, paper dresses, and paper raincoats. When you have used them once, you throw them away and buy new ones.The latest use of paper seems to be paper houses. These are not small houses for children to play in, but real, big houses for people to live in. You can buy a house with three rooms for about 500 dollars. You can put it up by yourself in a few hours, and you can use it for about five years.（1）The farmers in Finland wear paper boots in winter _.

It was written more than three hundred years ago. Even now people still agree with him. No one can live a completely lonely life. Without other people, life will become empty and sad. We all need to have friends.For some of us, although making friends is not difficult, feeling shy, we may not want to make the first move. It is also difficult at times to keep the friends we already have.There are many books about friendship, but Dale Carnegies How to Win Friends and Influence People, written in 1936, is the most famous. This “how to” book about getting along with other people became a best seller. It was later put into 28 languages.Dale Carnegies advice seems to be simple, but can his advice help you? Do you need to change the way you act? Here is the list of advice from his book:Be friendly and polite.Always greet with a smile. Begin with “Excuse me” or “Would you please” when you want to ask somebody. Remember to say “Thank you” and try to be as helpful as you can.Go out of your way to be nice.Find some time to do special things for other people. Making some soup for a sick neighbor may seem like a little thing to you, but it will make your neighbor feel a lot better.Remember names.They say that the sweetest music to a persons ears is the sound of his or her own name.Be open-minded.Try to understand other peoples ways and ideas and learn something from them.Listen patiently.When someone is talking to you, look at him or her, listen carefully and say something when necessary.（1）What does the underlined sentence “No one can live a completely lonely life.” mean?

This helps the lenders fully believe that someone is responsible and make timely payments. These are the things most international students do not have.But one company is trying to make the process easier and fairer for them.Jack Guo is from China. He now studies at a university in California. He says having an American credit card makes it easier for students to get around town. And, he says, credit cards are important for international students who hope to live in the country in the future.Kalpesh Kapadia came from India to study at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
