world"s use of paper was about one kilogram for each person in a year. Now some countries use as much
as 100 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, was first made in China. In Egypt and the West, paper
was not very commonly used before the year 1400.
The Chinese first made paper about 2,000 years ago. China still has pieces of paper which were made
as long ago as that. But Chinese paper was not made from the wood of trees. It was made from the hair
like parts of certain plants.
Paper was not made in southern Europe until about the year 1100. Scandinavia-which now makes a
great deal of the world"s paper-did not begin to make it until 1500. It was a German named Schaeffer who
found out that trees could be made into the best paper. After that, the forest countries of Canada, Sweden,
Norway, Finland, and the United States became the most important in paper making. Today in Finland,
which makes the best paper in the world, the paper industry is the biggest in the land.
B. small
C. developed
D. beautiful
B. Egyptian
C. Canadian
D. German
B. Finland.
C. Sweden.
D. Norway.
B. Canada, Sweden and Norway have a lot of trees in their country.
C. The earliest paper in the world was made from the wood of trees.
D. Schaeffer was a German.
found there was a wealth of interesting information to read. Realizing few people would have the time to get
through all this information, he knew exactly ____. In 1920, this young American presented a sample magazine
containing condensed (浓缩的) articles to publishers across America. All turned him down.
De Witt was not discouraged. He and his wife Lila Bell Acheson published the first issue of Reader"s Digest
in February 1922. Working from home, the Wallaces printed 5,000 copies, which were sold by mail to 1,500
people and priced at 25 cents. From these small beginnings grew the world"s most widely read magazine.
The magazine became popular and, by 1935, sales had topped one million. In 1938, the first international
edition was published in the United Kingdom. During World WarⅡ, editions were published for the first time
in Latin America and Sweden After the war Reader"s Dig Test moved into Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark,
Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Norway, South Africa and Switzerland. In 1950, Reader"s Digest published its
condensed books (now known as Select Editions in Australia). In 1959, music, the first non-print product line,
was introduced. In 1962, Reader"s Digest revolutionized direct mail by introducing easy-to-enter Sweepstakes
and a year later the first Reader"s Digest general book was published. In 1986, video was added to the Reader"s
Digest product.
In 1973, the Wallaces gave up active management of Reader"s Digest. De Witt died in 1981, aged 91; Lila in,
1984, aged 94. With no heirs to the Wallace empire to take over, Reader"s Digest became a public company in
the early 1990s and is now headed by a Chief Executive Office and Chairman of the Board. Reader"s Digest is
one of the most successful publishing stories in the history of global magazines.

touch the sky. But God was unhappy, and he made them speak different languages. They couldn"t understand
each other, so their dream never came true.
Yet the dream remains alive: if all men speak the same language, they can do anything. L. L. Zamenhof
from Poland was among the men who pursue this dream. He developed Esperanto (世界语) between 1877
and 1885.
As the most successful man-made world language, it is spoken by over two million people around the
world.
Last month, the World Esperanto Congress (大会), dealing with language rights, ended in Sweden.
Most Esperanto speakers are in Central and Eastern Europe and in East Asia, particularly Chinese mainland.
Esperanto has two advantages (优点). First, it"s easy. Each letter has exactly one sound and there are just
16 basic grammar rules. The second advantage is that it belongs to no one country.
But Esperanto has only reached a small number of people compared with natural languages widely used
around the world-such as English or Chinese. While these languages are deeply connected with their nations
and cultures, Esperanto doesn"t have this background.
Will Esperanto really become a global language? It remains a question.
B. explain why men now speak different languages
C. show the relationship between man and God
D. prove language is very important
B. Work for.
C. Be against.
D. Follow.
B. Esperanto words are easier to spell.
C. Esperanto has fewer grammar rules.
D. Esperanto is not supported by any country or culture.
B. Men"s dream of sharing the same language.
C. Comparison of Esperanto and other languages like English and Chinese.
D. The most successful planned language-Esperanto.
