During his stay in China, he saw many wonderful things. One of the things he discovered(发现) was the Chinese used paper money. In western countries, people did not 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 2000 years ago. He put these pieces of paper together and made them into 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 sides 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(再使用) it later. Everyone help to save paper. If we all think carefully, we can help protect(保护 ) trees. We should do it now, before it is too late. 71. We’d better choose drinks in bottles instead of those in paper packets. 72. In western countries, people did not use paper money until 15th century. 73. Which country was Marco Polo from? 74. When did Cai Lun invent paper? 75. Can you reuse the paper bag which the shop assistant gives you? 听力部分（第二节） Ⅸ.听短文填空（共 5小题，每小题 1分，计 5分） Ⅹ.词语运用（共 5小题，每小题 1分，计 5分） 根据下列句子的意思及所给的汉语提示，写出空缺处单词、固定短语或固定搭配的正确形式。 81.The boy wants to be a (科学家) when he grows up. 82.
