3 . Paper is one of the most important products ever invented by man. Wide spread use of written language would not have been possible without some cheap and practical material to write on. The invention of paper meant that more people could be educated because more books could be printed and distributed. Together with the printing press, paper provided an extremely important way to communicate knowledge.
How much paper do you use every year? Probably you cannot answer that question quickly. In 1900 the world's use of paper was about one kilogram for each person a year. Now some countries use as much as 50 kilograms of paper for each person a year. Countries like the United States, England and Sweden use more paper than other countries.
Paper, like many other things that we use today, was first made in China. In Egypt and the West, paper was not very commonly used before the year 1400. The Egyptians wrote on a kind of material made of a water plant. Europeans used parchment for many hundreds of years. Parchment was very strong; it was made from the skin of certain young animals. We have learnt of the most important facts of European history from records that were kept on parchment.

5 . The following destinations are highly recommended by Lonely Planet.
1.Bhutan
The Kingdom of Bhutan, located on the Silk Road in South Asia, claimed the No. 1 spot partly for its beauty and because it is set to become the first fully organic nation by 2021.
The kingdom has lush (郁郁葱葱的) plains in the south and sub-alpine Himalayan mountains in the north, which include Gangkhar Puensum, Bhulan's highest peak and believed to be the highest unclimbed mountain in the world.
2.Aruba
Tourists know this Caribbean getaway for its white-sand beaches, sparkling waters, and laid-back resorts. Aruba's temperatures usually stay around 27℃—making a dip in the water seem too good to pass up.
3.Costa Rica
Costa Rica is beloved for many reasons, from its coffee to its epic surfing.
It's also notable for its reliance on green energy sources. In fact, 90% of its energy is created by renewable sources, such as wind and hydro. It is also one of the world's most biodiverse countries—home to half a million species.
And of course, no trip to Costa Rica is complete without a visit to the Sloth Sanctuary.
