Paper is named for papyrus, a reed-like plant used by ancient Egyptians as writing material more than 5,000 years ago. The Chinese invented the paper that we use 2,000 years ago. A piece of paper really made up of tiny fibres, not unlike a piece of material. The fibres used in paper , however, are plant fibres, and there are millions of them in one sheet. In addition to the plant fibre, dyes and additives such as resin may be used. Dyes can make the paper different colours; resins may add weight and texture. Where do these fibres come from? The majority of paper is made from the plant fibre that comes from trees. Millions are cut down, but new trees are planted in their places. Paper may be also made from things like old rags, or pieces of cloth. Wastepaper, paper that has been made and used, can be turned into recycled paper. This cycling process saves forests, energy and reduces air and water pollution. 1. According to the passage, the paper that we use was first invented by___. A. the Chinese B.
