Before paper was invented，people wrote or drew on materials such as bamboo，
（1） /sɪlk/，animal hide，and wooden blocks．Writing materials were （2） （real）expensive and few people learned to read．Therefore，few people wrote．This all changed，thanks （3） a man named Cai Lun．
Paper had already existed（存在）in China，but the process for （4） （produce）it was difficult and the paper was of low quality．Cai Lun began experimenting（试验）with many different materials and different （5） （method）to turn those materials into paper．In the year 105，he made it from tree bark，bamboo，cloth rags，and fishing nets．His paper was （6） （strong）and cheaper than any paper that had been made before．
With Cai Lun's papermaking method，Chinese culture （7） /gru：/ more rapidly over the next several centuries．That's because ideas were much easier to share （8） more people learned to read．The use of paper spread abroad，helping （9） /'ʌðə/ cultures record and spread their ideas．Today，Cai Lun is considered a national hero in China．But
（10） whole world should remember the clever Chinese papermaker forever．
If you've ever stayed up late and then gotten up early the next day， you know what it's like not to get enough sleep． It's very uncomfortable feeling． In fact， for many years scientists （1） （believe） that sleep is like food ﹣ if we don't get enough of it， we might get sick or even die． But now they （2） （start）to wonder just how much sleep we need．

Humans are very different from fruit flies． Sleep（4） （help） repair tissue （组织） when our bodies perform a lot of maintenance （维护）． Sleeping allows our bodies（5） （get） well again from the stress we experience each day．
But can we really die from not seeping？ No humans have died so far from （6） （stay） awake for too long． The current（现在的）world record for sleeplessness （7） （hold） by Randy Gardner from the US， who stayed awake for 11 days and 25 minutes in 1964．
Scientist have not yet found any animals that don't sleep at all． Even animals that only seep for short periods are not completely sleepless．
