things was paper money.People in the Westdidnt 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 madein the West until the year 1100.Four hundred years later,a German found that he could make the best paper fromtrees.After that countries with plenty of forest,such asCanada,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 thatpaper 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 muchpaper,there will not be any trees left on the earth some day in the near future.Every day people throw awayabout 2,800 tons of paper in our city.It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper.This means that we arccutting 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 makeuseful things out of used paper.We can use china cups instead of paper ones.When shopping,we can use fewerpaper 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 nowbefore it is too late.23,When did the Chinese begin to use paper money?AIn the 5th

sometlung is wrong with their brain.In fact,the problem is not their brain or theirmemory.The problem is the way they study.If you want to improve your memory、its miportant to understand how it works.There are two kinds ofmemory:short-term and long-term.All information goes into your short-term memory first.But it can stay therefor just a few minutes.In order to remember something for more than a few minutes,it must move into your long-term memory.Only some things move into your long-term memory.Which things?This is an important question for a student.In fact,your long-term memory keeps things that are interesting or important to you.Thats why you rememberbig events iii your life or your favorite sports events.Your long-term memory keeps other things,too.It holdsonto things that you have thought about and worked with.So if you want to remember words,you have to work withthem in some ways.Many students study vocabulary by repeating（背诵）the words.This may be enough to remember them for awhile.But after a day or a week,you may have lost them.The reason for this is very simple.Long-term memoryis like a very big library with many,many books.And like a library.it is organized.When you put away a book-or a memory-you caiftjust leave it everywhere.If you want to find it again,you have to put it in a certainplace.Repeating a new word doesnt help you remember it for long,because it doesnt give you any way to find itagain.You need to make a place for the word in your long-term memory.There are many ways you can do this.Youcan write sentences with the word.Or you can make a very short story about it.You can also make a picture inyour mind with the word.For example,if the word is height（高度）,you can think of the tallest person youknow and try to guess his height.All of these activities are ways to work with words.They make the meaning of words stronger in yourlong-term memory.And they give you a way to find a word when you read it.26.What can we learn about memoryaccording to the passage?A.Things that are important only stay in short-term memory.B.C.D.Things we see usually goes into long-term memory first.We41 forget a word soon if it goes into
