When we think of paper， we think of newspapers and books. But there are many other uses. Only half of the world’s paper is used for books and newspapers.
Paper is very good for keeping you warm. You have perhaps seen homeless men asleep on a large number of newspapers. In Finland(芬兰)， it is sometimes －40℃ in winter. The farmers wear paper boots(靴子) in the snow. Nothing could be warmer.
Each year， more and more things are made of paper. We have had paper cups and plates for a long time. But now we hear that chairs， tables， and even beds can be made of paper. You can wear paper hats， paper dresses， and paper raincoats. When you have used them once， you may throw them away and buy new ones.
The latest use of paper seems to be paper houses. These are not small houses for children to play in， but real， big houses for people to live in. You can buy a house with three rooms for about 500 dollars. It’s cheap. You can put it up by yourself in a few hours， and you can use it for about five years.
