Four books that will inspire you to travel the world
There's truly nothing like travel when it comes to gaining perspectives and exposing yourself to other cultures. To get you in the adventuring mood, we asked Amazon Senior Editor Chris Schlep to help you come up with a list of books that transport readers to another time and place. Below, see his list of four books that will inspire you to travel the world.
ITALY: Beautiful Ruins by Jess Walter
This book by the popular author Jess Walter is a love story that begins on the Italian Coast in the early 60s and eventually concludes in contemporary Hollywood's screen. As the settings shift from Italy to Edinburgh and Los Angeles, you will find yourself longing to go as well. Buy it on Amazon. Price: $28.90
SEATTLE: Where'd You Go, Bernadette by Maria Semple
Maria Semple's first novel is not exactly a love story in Seattle, but if you read it, you just might want to come here to see if people are really as selfinvolved as the characters in her book. What really shines through is the strange storytelling and the laughs. Buy it on Amazon. Price: $26.60
ENGLAND: Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel
You can't travel to Thomas Cromwell's England without a time machine, but reading Mantel's prizewinning novel is the next best thing. It will make you long to see the ancient buildings and green grass of the English countryside, most of which are still there. Buy it on Amazon. Price: $25.10
NANTUCKET: Here's to Us by Elin Hilderbrand
Elin Hilderbrand has built a writing career out of writing about her hometown island of Nantucket. Her latest book is Here's to Us, which, perhaps not surprisingly, is a great beach book. Buy it on Amazon. Price: $30.80

B
As I walked along the Edgware Road, I felt as though the world was closing in on me. All the sounds I take for granted, had gone. I had entered a world of silence. This unsettling experience occurred a few weeks ago when I agreed to go deaf for a day to support the work of the charity Hearing Dogs for Deaf People, for which I am an ambassador.
When I managed to take a cab to the office of my manager, Gavin, I couldn’t hear what the taxi driver was saying to me. Conversation was impossible. Then, when I reached the office, I had to ring the intercom (对讲机) five times as I couldn’t hear a response.
Everybody said I was shouting at them — I simply wasn’t aware of how loudly I was speaking as I couldn’t hear my own voice. Gavin kept telling me my phone was ringing, but I didn’t realize. I was too busy trying to concentrate on reading his lips. And when he tried to tell me a code to put into my phone, I had to keep asking him to repeat it, more slowly. Eventually he lost his patience and snapped at me: “Just give me the phone!” I was shocked.
People couldn’t be bothered to repeat themselves, so they kept trying to do things for me that I was perfectly capable of doing myself. I felt I’d lost control.
Being deaf for a day was extraordinarily tiring. I had to work so hard to “listen” with my eyes, get people’s attention and use my other senses to make up for my lack of hearing. It was a huge, exhausting effort.
Until that experience, I didn’t realize how much I took my own hearing for granted, or the sorts of emotions and experiences deaf people go through. If a deaf person asks you to repeat something, never think: “It doesn’t matter.” It does matter.
4. Why did the author focus on reading Gavin’s lips?
A. He didn’t want to bother Gavin to repeat what he was saying.
B. He wanted to be aware of what the code was.
C. He attempted to get the code into the phone by himself.
D. By doing this he could understand what Gavin was saying.
5. What advice does the author give in the passage?
A. Repeat things as slowly as possible for the deaf.
B. Speak at the top of your voice if you can’t hear others speaking.
C. Take your own hearing for granted.
D. Do as many things as possible for the deaf.
6. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. It’s boring to live in a world of silence.
B. Many ordinary people just take hearing for granted until they lose it.
C. There are many other ways to help the deaf understand others.
D. The author has to use gestures to communicate with his friends.
7. What can be the best title of the passage?
A. Listening with Eyes B. Helping the Deaf
C. Being Deaf for a Day D. The Importance of Reading Lips
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过自己的亲身经历告诉我们对于聋哑人来说听力非常重要,所以我们要更加耐心对待聋哑人。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段二、三句“Gavin kept telling me my phone was ringing, but I didn’t realize. I was too busy trying to concentrate on reading his lips.(加文一直告诉我,我的电话响了,但我没有意识到。我正忙着集中精力读他的唇语。)”可知我并没有意识到Gavin告诉我电话在响,因为我的注意力都集中在理解他的唇语上了。故选D。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后两句“If a deaf person asks you to repeat something, never think: “It doesn’t matter.” It does matter.(如果一个聋人要求你重复一件事,千万不要想:“没关系。”这确实很重要。)”可知如果聋哑人请求你重复一些事情,永远不要认为没关系。因为对于聋哑人来说重复很重要。故选A。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Being deaf for a day was extraordinarily tiring. I had to work so hard to “listen” with my eyes, get people’s attention and use my other senses to make up for my lack of hearing. It was a huge, exhausting effort.(耳聋一天是特别累的。我必须非常努力地用眼睛“倾听”,吸引人们的注意力,并用我的其他感官来弥补我听力的缺失。这是一个巨大的,令人筋疲力尽的努力。)”和最后一段第一句“Until that experience I didn’t realize how much I took my own hearing for granted, or the sorts of emotions and experiences deaf people go through.(在那次经历之前,我没有意识到我认为自己有多大程度上的听力是理所当然的,也没有意识到聋人经历了那种情绪和经历。)” 可知直到这个时候我才意识到听力是多么重要,即许多普通人认为听力是理所当然的,直到他们失去听力。故选B。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其根据最后一段“Until that experience, I didn’t realize how much I took my own hearing for granted, or the sorts of emotions and experiences deaf people go through. If a deaf person asks you to repeat something, never think: “It doesn’t matter.” It does matter.(在那次经历之前,我没有意识到我是多么地把自己的听力视为理所当然,也没有意识到聋人所经历的各种情绪和经历。如果一个聋哑人让你重复一遍,永远不要想:“没关系。”这很重要。)”可知本文中作者通过自己的亲身经历告诉我们对于聋哑人来说听力非常重要,故选C。
C
You’ve heard an old Chinese saying before: Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. You may even be nodding your head in agreement right now. However, we can have a different understanding about it.
When a person is starving, that’s not the time to fill their head with knowledge but to first give the person a fish — eradicating their hunger — and only then teach them to fish. Far too often, people ignore this common sense first step. They see someone who is struggling, and they rush to offer wisdom. “Let me tell you what I’d do in your position,” a well-meaning individual might offer.
But few of us understand the anxiety, confusion and uncertainty that come with overwhelming need. People meeting with personal disasters don’t have the ability to think straight. Their nerves may be shot. Their confidence may be non-existent. Can you imagine what it would be like to be in that person’s situation?
Rushing to offer a struggling person long-term advice is a waste of time. Instead, it makes far more sense to help them regain their emotional balance. Once their ears, heart and mind open, you’ll have an opportunity to teach a new skill.
But how do we know whether a person needs a fish before a fishing lesson? Two things: One is the ability to pay attention. We need to know whether the other person is open and receptive, or looking at the world through narrowed eyes? You can’t just take their words but have to look at how the person acts and what they don’t say. The other is empathy (共情). The more successful you are, the harder it is to imagine what it must be like to be the opposite. Try to create a safe environment for emotional acceptance before the fishing lesson.
8 What is the function of the first paragraph?
A. To illustrate a concept. B. To put up an example.
C. To bring in a new viewpoint. D. To introduce the background.
9. What does the underlined word “eradicating” mean in Paragraph 2?
A. Getting rid of. B. Paying attention to.
C. Standing up for. D. Putting up with.
10. What should we do first for those in disasters?
A Get them to think straight. B. Enhance their confidence.
C. Fill their head with wisdom. D. Teach them a new skill.
11. Which does the author probably agree with according to the last paragraph?
A. Live and learn. B. Put yourself in others’ shoes.
C. Never teach a fish to swim. D. Don’t teach old dogs new tricks.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章介绍了对“授之以鱼不如授之以渔”的不同理解,即在别人挨饿时,不是给他灌输知识,而是先给他一条鱼,让他消除饥饿。文章解释了这么做的原因以及建议。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“You’ve heard an old Chinese saying before: Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. You may even be nodding your head in agreement right now. However, we can have a different understanding about it.(你以前听过一句中国古话:授之以鱼不如授之以渔。你甚至可能正在点头表示同意。然而,我们可以对此有不同的理解。)”可推知,第一段是为了引入新的观点——对“授之以鱼不如授之以渔”的不同理解。故选C。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词上文“When a person is starving, that’s not the time to fill their head with knowledge but to first give the person a fish(当一个人饥饿的时候,不是给他灌输知识的时候,而是先给他一条鱼的时候)”可知,当一个人挨饿时,先给他一条鱼,这样能消除他的饥饿。由此可知,划线单词“eradicating”意为“消除”,与A项“Getting rid of”意思相近。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Their nerves may be shot. Their confidence may be non-existent.(他们的神经可能会受到打击。他们的信心可能是不存在的。)”和第四段“Instead, it makes far more sense to help them regain their emotional balance. Once their ears, heart and mind open, you’ll have an opportunity to teach a new skill.(相反,帮助他们恢复情绪平衡更有意义。一旦他们的耳朵、心灵和思想敞开,你就有机会教他们一项新技能。)”可知,那些处在灾难中的人们没有信心,所以为了帮助他们,我们首先要做的是帮他们恢复情绪,即增强他们的信心。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The other is empathy (共情). The more successful you are, the harder it is to imagine what it must be like to be the opposite. Try to create a safe environment for emotional acceptance before the fishing lesson.(另一个是同理心。你越成功,就越难以想象相反的情况。试着在钓鱼课之前为情感接受创造一个安全的环境。)”可推知,作者建议我们要产生共情,即要换位思考,站在别人的角度考虑。故选B。
D
Paper is one of our oldest, simplest and most important inventions. But it also presents a danger to the world in two significant ways. First, the making of paper requires the loss of millions of trees each year. Between 2001 and 2019, the world lost 386 million hectares of forest. Of the trees that were cut down, 42% went to paper production. And worldwide use of paper is expected to double in the next 40 years. Clearly, the planet cannot sustain such a high rate of forest loss.
The second great problem with paper is what happens once it is no longer useful. A huge quantity of wastepaper ends up in dumps and landfills (垃圾填埋场), where it can produce harmful gases. Paper in landfills leads to the release (释放) of methane, a gas that is a significant contributor in global warming.
One simple solution can greatly reduce both of these problems: paper recycling. Paper is mainly made from cellulose (纤维素), which makes up the cell walls of trees and many other plants. Because of its structure, cellulose can be used repeatedly in papermaking. So far, trees are the only source of cellulose that can fill the massive demand for paper products. Therefore, recycling paper is simply one of the best ways to save trees.
Thanks to advances in processing, recycled paper isn’t the dull-colored stuff many of us are familiar with any more. It now can offer the same print performance as non-recycled paper.
Effective recycling requires a consistent effort. The way to begin is with education and understanding. Once enough people realize the need for recycling, more effective recycling systems can be carried out. The massive loss of trees affects everybody on earth. Everyone should do their part to recycle paper and encourage government and industries to do the same.
12. What does the author want to express in paragraph 1?
A. Consequences resulting from forest loss.
B. The significance of paper in daily life.
C. The disadvantages of current paper production.
D. The severe situation caused by papermaking.
13. Why is paper in landfills harmful?
A. It releases smelly gases. B. It results in global climate change.
C. It pollutes the nearby land. D. It may lead to fire accidents.
14. What can we know about paper-recycling?
A. It produces cellulose to make more paper. B. The structure of cellulose makes it possible.
C. The color of recycled paper is different. D. It produces cellulose without using trees.
15. What’s the purpose of this text?
A. To introduce paper recycling technology. B. To stress the threat of global warming.
C. To appeal to people to recycle paper. D. To describe the considerable need for paper.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍人们因为用纸而导致世界上的树木被大量砍伐,所以作者号召大家循环利用纸张,不要浪费。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“the making of paper requires the loss of millions of trees each year.”(纸的制造要求每年损失数百万棵树)可知,第一段作者主要想表明造纸业对树木造成的严重损失。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Paper in landfills leads to the release (释放) of methane, a gas that is a significant contributor in global warming.”(垃圾填埋场的纸导致沼气的释放,那是最能加剧全球变暖的一种气体。)可知,垃圾填埋场的纸导致沼气的释放,使得全球气温变暖了。故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Because of its structure, cellulose can be used repeatedly in papermaking.”(因为它的结构,纤维素能够在造纸上反复被使用。)可知,纤维素和结构使得纸的循环利用有了可能。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Effective recycling requires a consistent effort.”(有效的循环利用要求不断的努力。)和“Everyone should do their part to recycle paper and encourage government and industries to do the same.”(每个人都应该尽自己所能循环利用纸张,并且鼓励政府和工厂也这么做。)可知,作者写这篇文章的目的是要号召人们循环利用纸张。故选C。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了长期友谊的好处,以及如何发展一段新的友谊,并且注意,该结束的友谊就应果断结束。
【16题详解】
根据前文“You’ll make new friends in each stage of your life. Some of them will come and go, while others will last for the rest of your life.(你会在人生的每个阶段交到新朋友。其中一些会来了又走,而另一些会伴随你的余生)”结合下文陈述持长期友谊的好处,以及如何保持长期的友谊,所以空处应是引出长期朋友的话题,所以A项“Lifelong friendships are what most people desire.(一生的友谊是大多数人所渴望的)”符合文意。故选A项。
【17题详解】
根据前文“There are many benefits of having strong friendships. According to experts, many people regret not keeping friendships going and end up living a life with no close friends or even enduring mental and physical sufferings.(拥有牢固的友谊有很多好处。据专家称,许多人后悔没有维持友谊,最终过着没有亲密朋友的生活,甚至忍受着精神和身体上的痛苦)”以及后文“People who have healthy friendships tend to enjoy life more and may even live longer.(拥有健康友谊的人往往更享受生活,甚至可能活得更长)”可知,本段主要在讲保持健康友谊的好处和重要性,所以E项“So making time for your friendships is vital to a healthy life.(因此,为友谊腾出时间对健康生活至关重要)”符合文意,起到承上启下的作用。故选E项。
【18题详解】
根据后文“There are a lot of ways to make new friends that can stay with you for the rest of your life. Look for people who share things with you. If you have kids, join a mom’s group, or sign your child up for classes where you’ll naturally meet other parents.(有很多方法可以交到可以陪伴你一生的新朋友。寻找和你有共同爱好的人。如果你有孩子,加入一个妈妈的小组,或者为你的孩子报班,在那里你自然会遇到其他父母)”可知,此处是在讲如何交到可以陪伴你一生的新朋友。所以C项“If you are lacking in good friendships, it’s not too late.(如果你缺乏好的友谊,现在还不晚)”符合文意,引出下文。故选C项。
【19题详解】
根据前文“If you have kids, join a mom’s group, or sign your child up for classes where you’ll naturally meet other parents.(如果你有孩子,加入一个妈妈的小组,或者为你的孩子报班,在那里你自然会遇到其他父母)”以及后文“You share your career and will have a lot to talk about while also having built-in opportunities to spend time with each other.(你们分享自己的事业,会有很多可聊的话题,同时也有内在的机会花时间在彼此身上)”可知,上文陈述和父母交朋友,下文陈述分享自己的事业,由此推知,我们还可以与同事交朋友。所以D项“You can also make friends with people you work with.(你也可以和同事交朋友)”符合文意。故选D项。
20题详解】
根据前文“Sometimes it’s a good idea to let a friendship go, even if you’ve been friends for a long time. If one party isn’t making an effort to keep things going, it can lead to feelings of hurt and betrayal, and it might be time to let things cool off and pursue other friendships. (有时候,结束一段友谊是个好主意,即使你们已经做了很长时间的朋友。如果一方不努力维持关系,可能会导致受伤和背叛的感觉,可能是时候让事情冷静下来,追求其他友谊了)”可知,此处是在讲必要时结束一段友谊。由此推知,空处陈述这样做的原因。所以G项“While this can be sad, it can actually improve your quality of life.(虽然这可能令人难过,但它实际上可以提高你的生活质量)”符合文意,且与下文“Besides, it can encourage you to focus on the partnerships that are healthy and where both of you are committed to keeping it going for your entire life.(此外,它可以鼓励你专注于健康的伙伴关系,以及你们两人都致力于终生保持这种关系的伙伴关系)”构成并列关系。故选G项。

【答案】Dear Eric:
I’m awfully sorry to hear that you are going to quit the Tang Poetry Recitation Contest to be held in your school. I hope that you can be well prepared and enter the contest on time.
In my opinion, self - confidence is the first step towards success. Only when you become self - confident can you spare no effort to work hard to achieve your goals. In addition, even if you fail, you mustn’t lose heart. After all, failure can happen to anyone. More importantly, you’d better conclude the reason for your failure and thus make improvements. Therefore, from now on, you must give up the negative ideas and make full preparations for the contest. I’m convinced that you’ll succeed and learn a lot.
Looking forward to your good news.
Yours,
Li Hua

Four books that will inspire you to travel the world
There's truly nothing like travel when it comes to gaining perspectives and exposing yourself to other cultures. To get you in the adventuring mood, we asked Amazon Senior Editor Chris Schlep to help you come up with a list of books that transport readers to another time and place. Below, see his list of four books that will inspire you to travel the world.
ITALY: Beautiful Ruins by Jess Walter

SEATTLE: Where'd You Go, Bernadette by Maria Semple

ENGLAND: Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel
You can't travel to Thomas Cromwell's England without a time machine, but reading Mantel's prizewinning novel is the next best thing. It will make you long to see the ancient buildings and green grass of the English countryside, most of which are still there. Buy it on Amazon. Price: $25.10

As I walked along the Edgware Road I felt as though the world was closing in on me. All the sounds I take for granted, had gone. I had entered a world of silence. This unsettling experience occurred a few weeks ago when I agreed to go deaf for a day to support the work of the charity Hearing Dogs for Deaf People, for which I am an ambassador.
When I managed to take a cab to the office of my manager, Gavin, I couldn’t hear what the taxi driver was saying to me. Conversation was impossible. Then, when I reached the office, I had to ring the intercom (对讲机) five times as I couldn’t hear a response.
Everybody said I was shouting at them — I simply wasn’t aware of how loudly I was speaking as I couldn’t hear my own voice. Gavin kept telling me my phone was ringing, but I didn’t realize. I was too busy trying to concentrate on reading his lips. And when he tried to tell me a code to put into my phone, I had to keep asking him to repeat it, more slowly. Eventually he lost his patience and snapped at me: “Just give me the phone!” I was shocked.
People couldn’t be bothered to repeat themselves, so they kept trying to do things for me that I was perfectly capable of doing myself. I felt I’d lost control.
Being deaf for a day was extraordinarily tiring. I had to work so hard to “listen” with my eyes, get people’s attention and use my other senses to make up for my lack of hearing. It was a huge, exhausting effort.
Until that experience, I didn’t realize how much I took my own hearing for granted, or the sorts of emotions and experiences deaf people go through. If a deaf person asks you to repeat something, never think: “It doesn’t matter.” It does matter.
4. Why did the author focus on reading Gavin’s lips?
A. He didn’t want to bother Gavin to repeat what he was saying.
B. He wanted to be aware of what the code was.
C. He attempted to get the code into the phone by himself.
D. By doing this he could understand what Gavin was saying.
5. What advice does the author give in the passage?
A. Repeat things as slowly as possible for the deaf.
B. Speak at the top of your voice if you can’t hear others speaking.
C. Take your own hearing for granted.
D. Do as many things as possible for the deaf.
6. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. It’s boring to live in a world of silence.
B. Many ordinary people just take hearing for granted until they lose it.
C. There are many other ways to help the deaf understand others.
D. The author has to use gestures to communicate with his friends.
7. What can be the best title of the passage?
A. Listening with Eyes B. Helping the Deaf
C. Being Deaf for a Day D. The Importance of Reading Lips
C
You’ve heard an old Chinese saying before: Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. You may even be nodding your head in agreement right now. However we can have a different understanding about it.
When a person is starving, that’s not the time to fill their head with knowledge but to first give the person a fish — eradicating their hunger — and only then teach them to fish. Far too often, people ignore this common sense first step. They see someone who is struggling, and they rush to offer wisdom. “Let me tell you what I’d do in your position,” a well-meaning individual might offer.
But few of us understand the anxiety, confusion and uncertainty that come with overwhelming need. People meeting with personal disasters don’t have the ability to think straight. Their nerves may be shot. Their confidence may be non-existent. Can you imagine what it would be like to be in that person’s situation?
Rushing to offer a struggling person long-term advice is a waste of time. Instead, it makes far more sense to help them regain their emotional balance. Once their ears, heart and mind open, you’ll have an opportunity to teach a new skill.
But how do we know whether a person needs a fish before a fishing lesson? Two things: One is the ability to pay attention. We need to know whether the other person is open and receptive, or looking at the world through narrowed eyes? You can’t just take their words but have to look at how the person acts and what they don’t say. The other is empathy (共情). The more successful you are, the harder it is to imagine what it must be like to be the opposite. Try to create a safe environment for emotional acceptance before the fishing lesson.
8. What is the function of the first paragraph?
A. To illustrate a concept. B. To put up an example.
C. To bring in a new viewpoint. D. To introduce the background.
9. What does the underlined word “eradicating” mean in Paragraph 2?
A Getting rid of. B. Paying attention to.
C. Standing up for. D. Putting up with.
10. What should we do first for those in disasters?
A. Get them to think straight. B. Enhance their confidence.
C. Fill their head with wisdom. D. Teach them a new skill.
11. Which does the author probably agree with according to the last paragraph?
A. Live and learn. B. Put yourself in others’ shoes.
C. Never teach a fish to swim. D. Don’t teach old dogs new tricks.
D
Paper is one of our oldest, simplest and most important inventions. But it also presents a danger to the world in two significant ways. First, the making of paper requires the loss of millions of trees each year. Between 2001 and 2019, the world lost 386 million hectares of forest. Of the trees that were cut down, 42% went to paper production. And worldwide use of paper is expected to double in the next 40 years. Clearly, the planet cannot sustain such a high rate of forest loss.
The second great problem with paper is what happens once it is no longer useful. A huge quantity of wastepaper ends up in dumps and landfills (垃圾填埋场), where it can produce harmful gases. Paper in landfills leads to the release (释放) of methane, a gas that is a significant contributor in global warming.
One simple solution can greatly reduce both of these problems: paper recycling. Paper is mainly made from cellulose (纤维素), which makes up the cell walls of trees and many other plants. Because of its structure, cellulose can be used repeatedly in papermaking. So far, trees are the only source of cellulose that can fill the massive demand for paper products. Therefore, recycling paper is simply one of the best ways to save trees.
Thanks to advances in processing, recycled paper isn’t the dull-colored stuff many of us are familiar with any more. It now can offer the same print performance as non-recycled paper.
Effective recycling requires a consistent effort. The way to begin is with education and understanding. Once enough people realize the need for recycling, more effective recycling systems can be carried out. The massive loss of trees affects everybody on earth. Everyone should do their part to recycle paper and encourage government and industries to do the same.
12. What does the author want to express in paragraph 1?
A. Consequences resulting from forest loss.
B. The significance of paper in daily life.
C. The disadvantages of current paper production.
D. The severe situation caused by papermaking.
13. Why is paper in landfills harmful?
A. It releases smelly gases. B. It results in global climate change.
C. It pollutes the nearby land. D. It may lead to fire accidents.
14 What can we know about paper-recycling?
A. It produces cellulose to make more paper. B. The structure of cellulose makes it possible.
C. The color of recycled paper is different. D. It produces cellulose without using trees.
15. What’s the purpose of this text?
A. To introduce paper recycling technology. B. To stress the threat of global warming.
C. To appeal to people to recycle paper. D. To describe the considerable need for paper.
