__46   People use money to buy food, furniture,books,bicycles and hundreds of other things they need or want. When they work, they usually get paid in money.

Most of the money today is made of metal or paper.  47   One of the first kinds of money was shells.

Shells were not the only things used as money.In China,cloth and knives were used. In the Philippine Islands, rice was used as money for a long time. Elephant tusks,monkey tails and salt were used as money in parts of Africa.

The first metal coins were made in China, They were round and had a square hole in the centre.  48   

Different countries have used different metals and designs for their money.  49   Sweden and Russia used copper(铜) to make their money. Later some countries began to make coins of gold and silver.

But even gold and silver were inconvenient if you had to buy something expensive. Again the Chinese thought of a way to improve money.__ 50   The first paper money looked more like a note from one person to another than the paper money used today.

Money has an interesting history from the days of shell money until today.

 A.Today anyone will accept money in exchange for goods and service.

Greece declared a national state of emergency on Saturday as scores of forest fires that have killed at least 46 people continued to burn out of control, leaving some villages trapped within walls of flames, cut off from firefighters.

Although most of the fires have been on the Peloponnesian Peninsula, some broke out on the outskirts of Athens on Saturday, forcing the evacuation of homes and closing a major road linking the capital to the main airport for several hours. The national fire brigade said that by evening it had brought those blazes under control, including one that came within about six miles of the city.

The country has been helpless to fire this summer because of drought and three consecutive heat waves that sent temperatures high over 100 degrees. More than 3,000 forest fires have destroyed thousands of acres of wooded areas since June; the earlier fires killed nine people. The latest wave of fires on the peninsula started Friday. Strong, hot winds have spread the flames.

Firefighters expect the death toll to rise, because they have not yet been able to search some areas that had been overrun by flames.

Hardest hit by the fires were a dozen small villages around the town of Zaharo in the western peninsula, where at least 12 people, including some who may have been trying to flee by car, were killed. Scores of other residents, including elderly and disabled people, remained trapped in their homes, phoning into local television and radio stations, crying for help.

Late Saturday, Mr. Karamanlis, Prime Minister of Greece appeared on national television and declared that he was mobilizing all of the country’s resources to control the fire. Mr. Karamanlis also suggested that the recent fires might have been purposely set. “So many fires sparked at the same time in so many regions is no coincidence,” he said, “We will get to the bottom of this and punish those responsible.”

The overstretched national fire services are being helped by an estimated 6,000 soldiers mobilized for the operation. A fleet of water-dumping aircraft was expected from France, Germany and Norway, after Greece appealed to the European Union for “urgent assistance.”

The writer mainly wants to tell us that ______ in the passage.

A. firefighters battles fearlessly in Greece to control the fire

B. constant fires in Greece have caused great life and wealth lose

C. Greece is facing great danger as forest fires continue to break out

D. Greek government is investigating the cause of recent forest fires

According to the passage, which of the following might not contribute to the recent forest fires in Greek?

A. Storm thunders in summer                           B. Lack of rainfall

C. Extremely hot weather this summer            D. Hot and strong wind

We can learn from the passage that ______.

A. now the fire crisis in Greece has come to an end

B. assistance from EU members is expected to come to help Greece

C. firefighters in Greece so far can still manage the situation

D. the number of people who die in the fire is expected not to rise any more

Mr. Karamanlis believes the forest fires in Greece _______.

A. is a happening by chance                    B. is a natural disaster

C. might be caused by human on purpose   D. is a punishment of nature

I made up my mind to drive to South Carolina to meet my friends in my used car. Though I had only been there once  36  and did not know the  37  very well, I was on the  38  after I had made some inquiries (询问).
At Ashvelle, there was a crossroad where I could go on along the main road or I could take a short cut. The short cut was to  39  several hills and was dangerous, I hesitated (犹豫)for a little while and then chose the main road, for I wanted to be  40 .
Something strange happened after I drove a long  41  and found it was not the correct road that I wanted to  42 , but the hilly road I decided to avoid. I realized that it was at the  43  that I had made the  44  mistake. “What shall I do?” I asked myself. If I went back to take that road again, it would be very late by the time I got to Columbia. Thinking it  45 , I decided to go on. “If  46  people can go along this road, why can’t I?” I  47  myself
The short cut, to my surprise ,was not that  48 . In fact, it was only a very peaceful country road,  49  up and down two low  50 .There was  51  traffic. On both sides of the road, you could see trees, wild flowers, and  52  with cows and horses. My fear was  53  with the wind. Listening to the beautiful country music over my car stereo (立体声), I drove on and  54  the scenery which was so quiet and so natural. Even my used car forgot to give me  55 . It was just in this light heartedness that I arrived at my destination. My friends, after they heard what had happened to me, all said it sounded like an adventure.

During the test, the girl  38  next to me whispered something, but I didn’t understand. So I leaned over her way and found out that she was trying to ask me  39 . I had an extra pen.

Later, after the test papers had been  41 , the teacher asked me to  42  in the room when all the other  students were  43 .
