　　These days, most people in Britain(英國)and the US do not wear formal(正式的)clothes．But sometimes it is important to wear the right thing．Many British people don’t think about clothes very much．When they go out to enjoy themselves, they can wear almost(幾乎)anything．At theatres(劇院)，cinemas and concerts(音樂會)you can put on anything you like：from beautiful suits and dresses to jeans and sweaters．Anything goes, as long as you look clean and tidy．But in Britain, as well as in the US, men in offices usually wear suits and ties and women wear dresses or skirts(not trousers)．Doctors and business people always wear quite formal clothes．And in some hotels and restaurants men have to wear ties and women have to wear tidy dresses．

　　In many ways, Americans are less formal than British people, but they are more careful with their clothes．At home, or on holiday, most Americans wear informal(非正式的)or sports clothes．But when they go out in the evening, they like to look nice．In good hotels and restaurants, men have to wear jackets and ties, and women have to wear pretty clothes．

　　It is difficult to say exactly(確切地)what people wear in Britain and the US, because everyone is different．If you are not sure what to wear, watch what other people do and then do the same．You’ll feel good if you don’t look too different from everyone else．

　　Once(從前)there was a boy in London．His name was Jimmy．He started painting when he was three years old, and when he was five years old, he was already very good at it．He painted many beautiful and interesting pictures, and a lot of people bought his pictures．They said, “This boy is going to be famous(著名的)when he’s a little older, and then we’re going to sell these pictures for a lot of money．”

　　Jimmy’s pictures were different from others’ because he never painted on the whole of the paper．He painted on half of it, and the other half was always empty(空的)．

　　“That’s very clever,” people said．“No other painters have ever done that!”

　　One day someone asked Jimmy, “Please tell me, Jimmy, why do you only paint on the bottom(底)half of the paper, but not on the top(頂)half?”

　　“Because I’m small,” Jimmy said, “and my brushes can’t reach(夠得著)very high．”

　　In the 13th century, the famous Italian traveller, Marco Polo, travelled 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．However, people in China began to use paper money in the 7th century．

　　A Chinese man called Cai Lun invented paper almost 2,000 years ago．He made it from wood．He took the 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 our city．It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper．This means that we are cutting 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 bags．If the shop assistant gives 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．

　　Different weather makes people feel different．It influences ① health, intelligence ② and feelings．

　　In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States．People there have heart trouble and other kinds of health problems during this month．In the Northeast and the Middle West, it is very hot at some times and every cold at other times．People in these states have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March．

　　The weather can also influence intelligence．For example, in a 1983 report by scientists, IQ of a group students were very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10％ below．The wind can help people have more intelligence．Very hot weather, on the other hand , can make it lower．Students in many schools of the United States often get worse on exams in the hot months of the year(July and August)．

　　Weather also has a strong influence on people's feelings ③．Winter may be a bad time for thin people．They usually feel cold during these months．They might feel unhappy during cold weather．But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer．At about 18C, people become stronger．

　　Low air pressure ④ may make people forgetful．People leave more bags on buses and in shops on low-pressure days．There are a "good weather" for word and health．People feel best at a temperature of about 18 centigrade ⑤)．

　　Are you feeling sad, tired, forgetful, or unhappy today?It may be the weather's problem．
