Part 2: Read the passage and decide which the best answer is. Circle the letter A, B, C or D
next to the word you choose.
Paper is named for papyrus, a reed like plant used by ancient Egyptians as writing material more
than 5000 years ago. The Chinese invented the paper that we use 2000 years ago.
A piece of paper is really made up of tiny fibers, unlike a piece of material. The fibers used in
paper, however, are plant fibers, and there are millions of them in one sheet. In addition to the plant
fiber, dyes and additives such as resin may be used. Dyes can make the paper different colours;
resin may add weight and texture.
Where do these fibers come from? The majority of paper is made from the plant fiber that comes
from trees. Millions are cut down, but new trees are planted in their place. Paper may be also made
from things like old rags or pieces of cloth. Wastepaper, paper that has been made and used, can be
turned into recycled paper. This recycling process saves forest, energy and reduces air and water
pollution.
