22、   Lin Wenqian is a girl student. When she was on a busy bus last month, she felt someone touching her. She was so afraid.

Zhou Bin, 12, is a boy. He likes to chat on the Internet. But once a stranger said lots of dirty things to him. Zhou was so surprised!

What can students do when this kind of thing happens? Here is some advice from some teachers and students:

Don’t be afraid. Ask him or her to stop at once. If he or she doesn’t listen, try to turn to others around you and call for help.

Keep calm. Be serious and keep a cool face. Say you don’t like it and show you are angry.

If there is no one around, use clever ways. If you only shout or fight to make them angry, it could make things worse! They may take your life. Find excuses (借口) to run away. Say things like you are waiting for your parents or you want to go to the washroom.

23、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 didn’t use paper money until 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 put these pieces of paper together and made them in a book.

Now paper 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. So how can we save paper? We can use both of every piece of paper, especially when we are making notes. We can choose drinks in bottles instead of those in paper packets(小包). We can also use handkerchiefs(手帕) and not paper ones. When we go shopping, we can use fewer paper bags. If the shop assistant does give you 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. We should do it now, before it is too late.
