In modern society, people use money every day. It seems that it is very important in our life. That’s because without money you can’t buy any goods(商品) you want. But I think few people know the history of money.
Long ago, people did not need money. They lived on wild animals, fruits and other plants. As time passed, people learned to raise animals and crops. Sometimes, families produced more than they needed, so they started to trade with other families. Later, people began to use money as a means of exchange. However, it was not the kind of money we use today. They used shells, rice, salt, large stones, etc.
During the 600s BC, people began using coins as money. They soon found that coins were easier to carry than goods and lasted a long time. Later, countries began to make their own coins.
The Chinese were the first to use paper money, probably as early as the 11th century. The Italian traveler Marco Polo saw the Chinese using money when he visited China in the 1200s. However, European countries did not start using paper money until 1600s.
Today, we have many ways to pay for things. We do not use coins or paper money. Often, people prefer to pay for things by card. Paying with a card is easier and safer than carrying around a lot of “real” money.
小题1:  People used ________ as a means of exchange before the 7th century BC.

A．Marco Polo was from Canada.
B．Chinese used paper money earlier than Italy.
C．Today people often prefer to pay for things by salt.
D．Carrying around much “real” money is easier and safer than Paying with a card.

Looking too long at someone may seem to be impolite. But sometimes things are 68. If you wish to draw someone's 69 , you may look at him or her for more than ten seconds.

Many Chinese people like American country music(乡村音乐 ),such as（例如） the songs of John Denver. But still some people don’t know when country music began.
