SECTION 4. READING:
IX. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer
to each of the questions. (10 pts)
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 colors; 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.
1. According to the passage, the paper that we use was first invented by
A. the Chinese

B. the Egyptians

C. ancient cultures

D. foresters

C. plant fiber

D. papyrus

2. What is the main ingredient in most paper ?

B. cardboard

A. rags
