y you can?t answer that question quickly。 In 1900 the world?s use of paper was about one kilogram for each person in a year. Now some countries use more than 200 kilograms of paper for each person in a year. The amount of paper a country uses shows how far advanced the country is, some people say. It is difficult to say whether this is true: different people mean different things by the word advanced. But countries like the United States, England and Sweden certainly use more paper than other countries. Paper, like many other things that we use today, as first made in China, in Egypt and the West, paper was not very monly used before the year 1400. The Egyptians wrote on papyrus (紙草 ) 。the Europeans used parchment (羊皮紙 ) for many hundreds of years. Parchment was very strong。 it was made from the skin of certain young animals. We have learnt some of the most important facts of European history from records that were kept on parchment. The Chinese first made paper about 2021 years ago.

My parents, who work very hard, went to work. So I was left alone this morning. The idea that I should do something for them occurred to me. So I wanted to give them a pleasant surprise by cooking the lunch for them. Although it was difficult for me to do it, I did my best to get everything ready before they came back. At 12:30, they returned, tired and hungry. Seeing the various dishes on the table, they were surprised and excited. They sang high praise for me. I felt very happy. In future I will do what I can to help my parents.
