If I remember all the best things right from my childhood, wouldnt it be silly? Such as, one of my parents who hit me when I was young, the pre-school kid who wouldnt share her red ink with me, the third-grader who would keep pulling my hair, or the stranger at the bus stop who wouldnt let me get on the bus firstIts terrible to remember all those unwanted memories. Thank God for our fading (衰退的) memories.If we always remember everything that weve ever read or experienced, we would not only be walking encyclopedias (百科全书), but also be the unhappiest humans on the earth, because we would also remember the moments that someone shouted at us or hit us deeply. Imagine what would happen to us if we carry this huge load of feelings in our body bags? With the weight that we carry around, we would be pulled down into the deep hole of negative (消极的) thought and couldnt go out. If we learn to let go of all the negative thoughts or the unwanted memories, life would be much more enjoyable.Life is like an apple. It offers us the choice of the good part and the core (核) that we cant eat. Have we worried about throwing away the core, even for a moment? Of course NO. Then why do we hold on to all those unpleasant memories and not to sweep them away? Dont you want to eat the juicy and tasty part? Will you eat the hard core instead? Its up to you children to choose for yourself. Theres no doubt that you should choose to let go of the core or enjoy the fresh of the apple of life to the fullest.36 .

From paragraph 3, the writer wants to tell us that.Athere are only bad thoughts in our lifeBit is impossible for you to choose your lifeClife should be like the juicy and tasty part of an appleDour memories dying away is really a bad thing40 . The best title for passage would be “.”ALearn to eat the coreBThrow away apple coresCLet all the memories goDRemember only good thingsIn the 13th 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 didnt use paper money until 15th century. However, people in China began to use paper money in the 7th century.A Chinese man called Cai Lun invented paper almost 2,000 years ago. He put these pieces of paper together and made them in a book.Now paper 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. So how can we save paper? We can use both of every piece of paper, especially when we are making notes. We can choose drinks in bottles instead of those in paper packets(小包). We can also use handkerchiefs(手帕) and not paper ones. When we go shopping, we can use fewer paper bags. If the shop assistant does give you 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. We should do it now, before it is too late.41 .

How does reading this message make you feel? Why did the sender use all capital letters? Was he or she angry, or did that person just forget to turn off the Cap Lock on the computer? The fact is, this e-mail is usually the way that people shout online. Knowing when and when not to use capital letters is just one example of online etiquette （礼仪）often called netiquette.
