People on foot mustnt cross.In the morning and in the evening, when people go to or come home from work, the streets are very busy.Traffic is the most dangerous then.When you go by bus in England, you have to be careful, too.

During his stay in China, he saw many wonderful things. One of the things was paper money. People in the West didnt use the paper money until the 15th century. However, the Chinese began to use it in the 7th century.Paper was invented（发明）by a Chinese man called Cai Lun almost 2, 000 years ago. But it was not made in the West until the year 1100. Four hundred years later, a German found that he could make the best paper from trees. After that countries with plenty of forest, such as Canada, Sweden, America and Finland, became the most important ones in paper making.Paper can be used in many ways. It can be used in newspapers, magazines and books. But do you know that paper can be used for keeping warm? In Finland, the farmers wear paper boots to keep their feet warm in the snow. And even houses can be insulated（使绝缘）from heat or cold with paper.However, we have to understand that paper still comes from trees now. If we keep on wasting so much paper, there will not be any trees left on the earth some day in the near future. 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 down nearly 48,000 trees every day. The fact is that it takes more than 10 years for a tree to grow.So we must start saving paper right now. We can use both sides of every piece of paper. We can make useful things out of used paper. We can use china cups instead of paper ones. When shopping, we can use fewer paper bags and reuse them if we have some.In short, we should keep a balance（平衡）between using paper and protecting trees, and do it now before it is too late.50 . When did the Chinese begin to use paper money?AIn the 5th century.BIn the 6th century.CIn the 7th centuryDIn the 15th century.51 . Why did Canada become an important country in paper making?ABecause it was a large country.BBecause it had lots of forests.CBecause it was a very rich country.DBecause the inventor was from Canada.52 . What is the writers main purpose in writing this passage?ATo explain how to make paper.BTo introduce where paper is from.CTo show Marco Polos great travel.DTo encourage people to save paper.四、回答问题阅读下文并回答问题。A new study suggests that the more teenagers watch television,the more likely they are to develop depression(抑郁症)as young adults.The researchers used a national long-term survey of healthy young teenagers of about 1316 to find out the relationship between media use and depression.They based their findings on more than 4000 young teenagers who were not depressed when the survey began in 1995.As part of the survey, the young people were asked how many hours of television or videos they watched daily.They were also asked how often they played computer games and listened to the radio.Here was the result.The young people spent five and a half hours a day using media and more than 2 hours of that was spent watching TV.Seven years later,in 2001,more than 7% of the young people had signs of depression.The average age at that time was 21.Brian Primack at the University of Pittsburgh medical school was the lead author of the new study.He says every extra hour of television meant an 8% increase in the chances of developing signs of depression.The researchers say they did not find any such relationship with the use of other media such as movies,video games or radio.But the study did find that young men were more likely than young women to develop depression given the same amount of media use.Doctor Primack says the study did not find out if watching TV causes dep
