话题二十一　世界与环境 一、阅读理解 A In order to create paper and other wood products, millions of trees must be cut down each year. So we should try our best to save paper to protect our environment. One useful way is to find paper substitutes. Here are some advice about replacing paper. ?Use reusable cloths instead of paper products. Around the house, a lot of paper is wasted every year on things like paper towels(厚纸巾) and napkins. And if you use lots of paper products for cleaning and drying, you can save plenty of paper by using reusable cloths. ? Use real dishes instead of paper. Paper dishes may be convenient, but they arent good for the environment. Most paper plates just end up in the bin, meaning the paper isnt even recycled properly. When you have a party, ask people to use real dishes instead. ? Take your own Thermos(保温杯) or reusable cup to coffee shops. One-off paper cups from coffee shops and restaurants are another way that lots of paper is wasted every year. Like paper plates, many paper cups end up in the bin without being recycled. ? Send e-cards instead of paper cards. Lots of people like to send greeting cards for birthdays, holidays and other events, and this leads to plenty of paper waste. Not only is the card itself paper, but its also sent in a paper envelope(信封). Instead of sending paper greeting cards to all your friends and family in the mail, send electronic greeting cards for future celebrations. 　　根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1.What does the underlined word substitutes mean in Chinese?
