Read the text and match each paragraph with its topic.
An Invention That Changed the World
Can you imagine a world without books, newspapers, or magazines? All of these things depend on one invention—papermaking. It, more than any other invention, was responsible for the rapid spread of information that shaped our modern world.
Textbook
1b
In ancient China, many different materials were used to write on, such as animal bones, bronze ware, stones, wood, bamboo, and even silk. In the Western Han Dynasty, there was also a very early form of paper made from jute—a fibre that comes from plants. However, all of these materials were either difficult to use and store, or very expensive.
Textbook
1b
As the head officer of the palace workshop for the emperor in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cai Lun became interested in trying to solve the problem. Different methods for creating something to write on were tried, but none were ideal. In his time, some kinds of bark—the outer part of trees—were used to make clothes. From past experiences, Cai Lun got the idea that bark, certain plants, and old clothes could be used to make a special material suitable to write on.
Textbook
1b
In the first step of Cai Lun’s experiment, all the ingredients were mixed and boiled in water. Then, this material was beaten, cut up, and mixed with water again. Next, the liquid was poured over a bamboo screen, leaving just the fibre. Finally, this fibre was dried and pressed to form paper. To everyone’s surprise, this paper was soft, light, easy to make and use, and most importantly, cheap. In 105 CE, Cai Lun showed his creation to the emperor. The emperor was very pleased and praised Cai Lun for his great work.
Textbook
1b
Later on, the papermaking technique not only speeded up the development of Chinese culture, but also changed civilizations around the world. It first spread to China’s neighbouring countries and finally reached Europe through Arabic countries in the 12th century. When the use of paper and printing came together in later centuries, it led to a rapid increase in the number of books. This resulted in a new birth of knowledge, creating the world we have today.

It does not have a single inventor, but scientists like Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn helped develop its core technology in the late 1960s, and it became widely used by the public in the 1990s. The Internet has changed the world in many ways. First, it lets information travel around the world in seconds, so people can get news and knowledge much faster than before. Second, it made it possible for other great inventions like smartphones and online shopping to develop. Finally, it has changed how we work, study, and communicate with others, making the world feel much smaller and more connected.

The invention of the plane has greatly changed the world. However, it seems that its inventors, Orville Wright and Wilbur Wright, were not looking to change the world at all. Rather, they just wanted to fly like birds.
Textbook
3a
To solve the problem of heavier-than-air flight, the Wright brothers began working with gliders. There were two main challenges. The first was how to get the glider into the air. The second was how to control it once it was flying. For both problems, they found their solutions by looking at how birds flew. After they solved these problems, they added an engine to the glider. Then, in December 1903, the world’s first plane flights were made.
