Dear Sally,

I'm glad to receive your email every week. In your last email, you said your favorite inventor was Edison, because his inventions changed the world. As for me, my favorite inventors are Wright Brothers. They invented the world's first plane. I like traveling very much. It can save much time to travel by plane. And it is convenient to book a plane ticket online. I think this is the best way to travel. I will go to a winter camp in London this December.Please tell me your address. I will pay you a visit and give you a gift. It is also a great invention of China. Can you guess what it is?

Yours,

Li Hua

第三节听下面一篇短文。请根据短文内容，写出下面表格中所缺的单词，每空仅填一词。短文读两遍。

Talking about paper, you may think of Cai Lun. He improved the craft of making paper and made it from the wood of a tree. Today, paper still comes from trees. We use a lot of paper every day. We must begin using less paper now because it takes about 10 years for a tree to grow. How can we save paper? We can use both sides of every piece of paper.We can reuse textbooks.We can use handkerchiefs instead of paper tissues. We can also use plastic cups instead of paper ones. We can use fewer paper shopping bags and we can reuse these paper bags later as well.
