PAPER

'Just imagine a day without paper,' reads one advertisement for a Finnish paper company. It adds, 'You 21.1 certainly see our products every day.' And they're right. But in most industrial countries, people are so 21.2 to paper - whether it's for holding their groceries, for drying their hands or for providing them with the daily news - that its role in their daily lives passes largely unnoticed.

At one 21.3 paper was in short supply and was used mainly for important documents, but more recently, growing economies and new technologies have brought about a dramatic increase in the amount of paper 21.4. Today, there are more than 450 different grades of paper, all designed for a different purpose.

Decades ago, some people predicted a 'paperless office'. 21.5, the widespread use of new technologies has gone hand-in-hand with an increased use of paper. Research 21.6 the relationship between paper use and the use of computers has shown that the general trend is likely to be one of the growth and interdependence.

However, the costs 21.7 in paper production, in terms of the world's land, water and air resources, are high. This raises some important questions. How much paper do we really need and how much is wasted?

Read the passage and answer the questions.

Sherlock Holmes, created by British writer Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in the late 19th century, is one of the first and most famous literary detectives.

Sherlock Holmes made his first appearance in the work A Study in Scarlet, which was published in 1887. Holmes instantly became a popular literary figure with the general populace, who demanded that Doyle write more stories involving him. Doyle complied and eventually wound up writing fifty-six short stories and four novels that featured Holmes. While he took a break of several years from creating stories about Holmes, Doyle continued to write Holmes stories until 1927. Among the most famous of all the works featuring Holmes are The Hound of the Baskervilles, The Blue Carbuncle, and A Scandal in Bohemia.

One of the reasons that Sherlock Holmes was so popular concerns the method he employs to solve his cases: logic. Holmes, alongside Dr. Watson, employs sharp observation, deduction, mastery of disguise, and combat skills to solve cases.

While Holmes often solves cases that are unrelated to one another, he has a nemesis with whom he comes into both direct and indirect conflict in several stories. That person is Professor Moriarty, the leader of a crime ring In London. In one of the stories, The Final Problem, Holmes and Moriarty fight one another and fall to their deaths by plunging down a steep cliff near a waterfall. When he wrote that story, Doyle had tired of Holmes and wanted to kill off the character. He then refrained from writing about Holmes for many years, but public demand for more stories induced him to bring Holmes back from the dead and to continue writing detective stories.

Tourism is now one of the largest industries in the world, and is the main source of income in many countries. Unfortunately, this development has come at a price. The construction of facilities to cater to the needs of hordes of visitors has led to the destruction of natural habitats, thus (DANGER) 30.1 wildlife and spoiling some of the world's most beautiful regions. Air travel to far-flung places results in huge amounts of carbon (EMIT) 30.2 which contribute to global warming. Although tourism may bring in earnings for local people, by and large, the profits are being made by foreign-owned tour operators.

The majority of holidaymakers are unaware of or (CONCERN) 30.3 about such issues, but fortunately, there are those who would rather travel with a clear conscience. For these travelers, there is now an alternative to conventional tourism, known as ecotourism or (SUSTAIN) 30.4 travel. They choose their destinations carefully, and try to make sure that their visit will have only a minimal effect on the environment. They avoid staying in large resorts and support (LOCAL) 30.5 owned businesses and services so that the local people benefit from their visit. Eco-sensitive travel can have across-the-board benefits for the environment.
