Complete the passage with the words in the box, then answer the questions bellow.

Broken; invented; shortage; is; papermaking; exported;

Paper was __________ (1) 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.

Most paper __________ (2) 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 __________ (3) 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 __________ (4) to South Africa, Australia and many other countries. Some of the wood used in British __________ (5) 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 paper __________ (6) before the year 2020.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

        Any list of the greatest thinkers in history contains the name of the brilliant physicist Albert Einstein. His theories of relativity led to entirely new ways of thinking about time, space, matter, energy, and gravity. Einstein's work led to such scientific advances as the control of atomic energy, even television as a practical application of Einstein's work. In 1902 Einstein became an examiner in the Swiss patent office at Bern. In 1905, at age 26, he published the first of five major research papers.

        The first one provided a theory explaining Brownian movement, the zig-zag motion of microscopic particles in suspension. The second paper laid the foundation for the photon, or quantum, theory of light. In it he proposed that light is composed of separate packets of energy, called quanta or photons, that have some of the properties of particles and some of the properties of waves. A third paper contained the "special theory of relativity" which showed that time and motion are relative to the observer, if the speed of light is constant and the natural laws are the same everywhere in the universe.

        The fourth paper was a mathematical addition to the special theory of relativity. Here Einstein presented his famous formula, E = mc², known as the energy mass equivalence. In 1916, Einstein published his general theory of relativity. In it he proposed that gravity is not a force, but a curve in the space-time continuum, created by the presence of mass. Einstein spoke out frequently against nationalism, the exalting of one nation above all others. He opposed war and violence and supported Zionism, the movement to establish a Jewish homeland in Palestine. When the Nazis came to power in 1933, they denounced his ideas.

        He then moved to the United States. In 1939 Einstein learned that two German chemists had split the uranium atom. Einstein wrote to President Franklin D.Roosevelt warning him that this scientific knowledge could lead to Germany developing an atomic bomb. He suggested the United States begin its own atomic bomb research.

What is “Brownian movement”?

A. The zig-zag motion of microscopic particles in suspension.

B. The emission of electrons from solids when struck by light.

C. The motion of photons in light.

D. The basis of the theory of relativity.

Read the passage, then answer the questions.

Every day of the year throughout the world, about twenty million paper bags and newspapers are screwed and thrown away

Making paper requires a lot of wood pulp and the work of million of workers. Many countries have had plans to recycle waste paper to save money and labor. In countries where there is the cooperation of the public, paper mills recycle as much as sixty percent of waste paper. Their simple work is to take away the ink, crush it and make it into pulp again. For every ton of recycled newsprint, twelve trees can be saved. We can insist that the more paper people save, the more trees are preserved.

l. How many paper bags and newspapers are thrown away every day?

2. What material do paper mills need to make paper?

3. What have many countries done to save money and labor in making paper?

4. What percentage of waste paper is recycled with the help of the public?

5. What do the paper mills do to reuse waste paper?

6. How many trees can be saved for every ton of recycled newsprint?
