    I did something wrong today.

    While at the beach this afternoon. I met a boy called Bob We talked a lot. He said that it was fun playing on the cliffs (悬崖). I told him that I was not allowed to go near that place(Mum and Dad had always told me it was dangerous to play there). He called me a coward. I wanted to prove to him that I was just as brave, so I agreed to go with him.

    We wanted to make our way down to explore (探索)the area, so Bob started to climb down and I followed him. Unluckily, some rocks came down after us. One of them nearly hit my head. We could not get back up. We shouted and shouted for help, but for a long time no help came. I was really scared. I wanted to cry. Then, we heard some sounds. Someone had heard us. A woman tied (系 )a rope around herself while a man at the cliff top held the rope. She made her way down to save us.

    My parents were relieved (宽慰的)that I was unhurt, but they were angry that I had done such a risky thing. I apologized and promised that I would not do anything like that again.

    In the 13th century. Marco Polo the world known Italian travelled saw many wonderful things in China. One of the things he discovered was money made of paper. People in the West did not have such kind of money until the I5th century. However the Chinese began to use it in the 7^th century.

    Paper was invented by a Chinese man called Cai Lun almost 2,000 years ago. But it was not made in Europe until the year I 100. Four hundred years later, a German discovered that he could make the best paper from trees. After that countries rich in forests, such as Canada Sweden. America. Finland became the most important ones in paper making

    Paper can be used in many ways. The common uses include newspapers magazines and books. But do you know that paper 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 much paper, there will not be any trees left on the earth some day in the near future. Every day people throw away about 2, 800 tons of paper in our city. It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper. This means that we are cutting 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 make useful things out of used paper. We can use china cups instead of paper ones. When shopping, we can use fewer paper 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 now before it is too late.

    My name is Damian Costa. I was born in a small village in Italy in 1952. I spent the first few Years of my life there before my family1to Perth Australia.

    We arrived in Australia in the summer of 1957. I went to2and I had to attend special classes to learn English as all the lessons were taught in English.

    We did not have much3, so we lived very simply. My parents worked as cleaners. They earned（挣钱）just enough for us to survive（维持生活）and4 a little money. My father had always wanted to5a small restaurant. Finally.6ten years of hard work, in June1967, he managed to save enough and opened our first pizzeria（比萨饼店）.

    7business was slow at first, it soon got better. I helped out at the pizzeria after school and at weekends. Just two years after we8my father decided that we needed a full-time waiter. Then he decided to9me the art of making wood-fired pizzas.

    Today we have three branches(分店), in Perth. Sydney and Adelaide. My children have10learned how to make pizzas and they quite enjoy it. I hope to pass on the business to them.
