People are interested in animal communication and scientists have done lots of researches on this subject.
Most animals always use body languages to communicate. If cats look and blink（眯眼）at you slowly, which shows their love to you. You can also do this to show your love. When they sit with tails around themselves, they’re happy. If they feel scared, their tail may look like the end of toilet brushes. When they put ears back, they are a bit mad. Birds can show feelings through eyes and feathers. If birds make their pupils（瞳孔）large and small from time to time, this can be a sign that they’re excited or scared or angry. Birds will ruffle（弄乱）their feathers when they clean themselves. However, if their feathers remain ruffled, it may mean they are ill. You’d better take them to see a veterinarian in an animal hospital.
Some animals communicate by smell. Dogs are famous for this. They can learn about something by smelling. They can find missing people by using their fantastic sense of smell. They have helped the police for a long time. Mice have an excellent sense of smell, too. Scientists even train them to find landmines（地雷）. It is found that even ants use smell, they use smell to tell other ants where the food in.
Frogs and insects communicate by sounds. Usually the “gentleman” makes sounds to invite the “ladies”. Whales and elephants also use sounds to communicate, these sounds can travel very far through water or ground, but it is impossible for humans to hear some of the sounds.

How much paper do you use every year Maybe you can’t answer this question quickly. In 1900, the world’s use of paper was about one kilogram (千克) for each person in a year. Now some countries use as much as 50 kilograms of paper for each person in a year. But such countries like America, England and Sweden (瑞典), use more paper than other countries.
Paper was first made in China about 2000 years ago. It was made from the hairlike parts of certain plants. Paper was not made in southern Europe until about the year 1100. In 1500, a German named Schaeffer found out that people could make the best paper from trees. After that the forest countries of Canada, Sweden, America, Finland (芬兰) became the most important ones in paper making.
When we think of paper, we think of newspapers, books and writing paper. But there are many other uses. Only half of the paper is used for books and magazines. Paper is very good for keeping you warm. Houses are often insulated (隔绝冷或热) with paper.
You may see some people sleep on a large number of newspapers. They’re insulating themselves from the cold. In Finland, sometimes the temperature is very low. The farmers wear paper boots (长筒靴) in the snow. Nothing could be warmer.
Each year more and more things are made of paper. We have had paper cups and plates for a long time. Now we hear that chairs, tables and even beds can be made of paper. With paper boots and shoes, you can wear paper hats, paper dresses and paper raincoats. When you have used them once, you throw them away and buy new ones.
People have made paper boats, but they haven’t made paper planes or cars. Just wait—perhaps they will make planes or cars someday in the future.
36. How much paper does each person use in a year in some countries now
A. One kilogram. B. Fifteen kilograms.
C. Fifty kilograms. D. Forty kilograms.
37. ________ use more paper than other countries.
A. Sweden B. America C. England D. All of the above.
38. In southern Europe paper was first made ________.
A. 2,000 years ago B. in 1100 C. in 1500 D. in 1900
39. Farmers in Finland wear paper boots in the snow because ________.
A. paper boots are warmer than anything else there
B. there are no other kinds of boots there
C. they are so poor that they can buy only paper boots
D. paper boots are so beautiful that they don’t like other kinds
40. Which following things are still NOT made of paper
