Papermaking was invented by the Chinese in the first century A.D. The art of papermaking took 700 years to reach the Muslim world and another 700 years to get to Britain (via Spain, South France and Germany). Most paper was made from wood. When the trees are cut down, they are carried by land or water to paper mills. Here they are cut up and the wood is broken up into fibers, mixed with water and chemicals. This wood pulp is then dried up on a machine and made into paper. Papermaking is an important British industry, and paper from Britain is exported to South Africa, Australia and many other countries. Some of the wood used in British papermaking industry comes from trees grown in Britain, but wood is also imported from other countries such as Norway. One tree is needed for every 400 copies of a forty-page newspaper. If half the adults in Britain each day buy one daily paper, this uses up over 40,000 trees a day. Trees are cut down faster than they can be replaced, so there may be a shortage before the year 2030.

Paper is named for papyrus, a reed like plant used by ancient Egyptians as writing material more than 5000 years ago. The Chinese invented the paper that we use 2000 years ago.

A piece of paper is really made up of tiny fibers, unlike a piece of material. The fibers used in paper, however, are plant fibers, and there are millions of them in one sheet. In addition to the plant fiber, dyes and additives such as resin may be used. Dyes can make the paper different colors; resin may add weight and texture.

Where do these fibers come from ? The majority of paper is made from the plant fiber that comes from trees. Millions are cut down, but new trees are planted in their place. Paper may be also made from things like old rags or pieces of cloth. Wastepaper, paper that has been made and used, can be turned into recycled paper. This recycling process saves forest, energy and reduces air and water pollution.

1. According to the passage, the paper that we use was first invented by

A. the Chinese B. the Egyptians C. ancient cultures D. foresters

2. What is the main ingredient in most paper ?

A. resin B. cardboard C. plant fiber D. papyrus

3. According to the passage, the primary source of the plant fiber used in paper is

A. rags B. trees C. fabric D. wastepaper

4. According to the passage, recycling paper is

A. bad for the environment C. good for the environment

B. wasteful D. economical

5. According to the passage, recycling paper does all of the following EXCEPT

A. reduce the need for ink C. save energy

B. save forests D. reduce air pollution

Read the passage below and decide whether the statements are TRUE or FALSE?

Paper can be recycled by reducing it to pulp and combine it with pulp from newly harvested wood. As the recycling process causes the paper fibers to breakdown, each time paper is recycled its quality decreases. This means that either a higher percentage of new fibers must be added, or the paper down cycled into lower quality products. Any writing or coloration of the paper must first be removed by deinking, which also removes fillers, clays, and fiber fragments. Almost all paper can be recycled today, but some types are harder to recycle than others. Papers coated with plastic or alumium foil, and papers that are waxed, pasted, or gummed are usually not recycled because the process is too expensive. Gift wrap paper also cannot be recycled due to its low quality.

Question: The recycling processes of most paper are similar.

A. True

B. False
