“If you want to see a thing well, reach out and touch it!”
That may seem a strange thing to say. But touching things can help you to see them better.
Your eyes can tell you that a glass ball is round. But by holding it in your hands, you can feel how smooth and cool the balls are. You can feel how heavy the glass is.
When you feel all these about the ball, you really see it.
With your skin, you can feel better. For example, your fingers can tell the difference between two coins in your pocket. You can feel a little drop of water on the back of your hand, too.
You can even feel sounds against your skin. Have you ever wanted to know why some people like very loud music? They must like to feel the sounds of music.
All children soon learn what “ Don't touch!” means. They hear it often. Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up. In shops, we touch things we might buy such as food, clothes and so on. To see something well, we have to touch it.
The bottoms of our feet can feel things, too. You know this when you walk on warm sand, cool grass or a hard floor. All feel different under your feet.
There are ways of learning to see well by feeling. One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin. Feel the shoes on your feet, the clothes on your body, the air on your skin. At first, it is not easy to feel these things. You are too used to them!

For several years, Americans have enjoyed teleshopping--watching TV and buying things by phone. Now teleshopping is starting in Europe. In a number of European countries, people can turn on their TVs and shop for clothes, food, toys and many other things.
Teleshopping is becoming popular in Sweden, for example. The biggest Swedish company sells different kinds of things on TV in 15 European countries, and in one year it made 100 million dollars. In France there are two teleshopping channels, and the French spend about 20 million dollars a year buying things through those channels.
In Germany, until last year teleshopping was only possible on one channel for one hour every day. Then the government allowed more teleshopping. Other channels can open telebusiness, including the largest American teleshopping company and a 24-hour teleshopping company. German businesses are hoping that this new teleshopping will help them sell more things.
Some people like teleshopping because it allows（允许）them to do their shopping without leaving their homes. With all the problems of traffic in the cities, this is an important reason. But at the same time, other Europeans don't like this new way of shopping. They call teleshopping “junk（垃圾）on the air.” Many Europeans usually worry about the quality（质量）of things for sale on TV. Good quality is important to them, and they believe they cannot be sure about the quality of the things on TV.
The need for high quality means that European teleshopping companies will have to be different from the American companies. They will have to be more careful about the quality of the things they sell. They will also have to work harder to sell things that the buyer can not touch or see in person.

D．think the things sold on TV are of bad quality
(4)In Germany, teleshopping may ________.
[ ]
A．help businessmen get more money
B．keep the shops open longer
C．have fewer buyers
D．bring better TV programmes
(5)The best title of the passage is ________.

In the 13th century, the famous Italian traveler, Marco Polo, traveled a long way to China During his stay in China, he saw many wonderful things.
One of the things he discovered was that the Chinese used paper money. In western countries, people did not use paper money until the 15th century.
But people in China began to use paper money in the 7th century.
A Chinese man called Cai Lun invented paper almost 2000 years ago. How did he do it? He took wood from trees and made it into paper. He then put these pieces of paper together and made them into a book.
Now paper still 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. Every day, people throw away about 2 800 tons of paper in Beijing. It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper.
This means that we are cutting down nearly 48 000 trees every day. Since it takes more than 10 years for a tree to grow, we must start using less paper now. If we don’t, we will not have enough time to grow more trees to take the place of those we use for 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 cups. We can also use cotton handkerchiefs, not paper ones. When we go shopping, we can use fewer paper bags. If the shop assistant does give us a paper bag, we can save it and reuse it later.
Everyone can help to save paper. If we all think carefully, we can help protect trees. But we should do it now, before it is too late.
(1) People in western countries first used paper money in the ________ century.
[
]|
A ．17th |
B ．15th |
|
C ．13th |
D ．7th |
(2) About _______ tons of paper are thrown away every day in Beijing.
[
]|
A ．1700 |
B ．2000 |
|
C ．2800 |
D ．48000 |
(3) Which of the following is NOT a way to save paper?
[
]A
．To use both sides of every piece of paper.B
．To use paper bags from shops more than once.C
．To use cotton handkerchiefs instead of paper ones.D
