8.About one hundred years ago,many educated people spoke French when they met people from other countries.Today most people speak English when they meet foreigners.It has become the new international language.There are more people who speak English as a second language than people who speak English as a first language.Why?
There are many reasons why English has become so popular.One of them is that English has become the language of business.Another important reason is that popular American culture,like movies,music,and McDonald's has quickly spread throughout the world.It has brought its language with it.
Is it good that English has spread to all parts of the world so quickly?I don't know.It's important to have a language that everyone has in common. Our world has become global and we need to communicate with one another.On the other hand,English is a rather hard language to learn and it brings its culture with it.Do we really need that?
Scientists have already tried to make an artificial(人造的) language that isn't too difficult and isn't from any one group's culture.It is called Esperanto.But it hasn't become popular.Maybe the popularity of English won't last that long,either.Who knows?There are more people in the world who speak Chinese than any other language.Maybe someday Chinese will be the new international language.

81.What was the world language a century ago?French
82.Why has English become an international language today?Give at least two reasons.
Because of business and popular American culture
83.What can we get from Paragraph 3?English is a commonly used language,but it can't become the only international language because it is hard for people to learn
84.In the last paragraph,what do scientists want to tell us?They have tried to make an artificial language to make people understand one another more easily.
85.将第三段中划线句子翻译成汉语.世界已经全球化,我们需要相互交流.

4.Long ago,people lived on wild animals,fruits and other plants and they didn't need to use money.
As time passed,families had more products(产品) than they needed,such as animals and crops.So they needed to trade(交易) with others.They began to use money to make it easier.However,it was not like the money we use today.They used shells,rice,salt or large stones.
During the 600s BC,people began using coins as money.Because they were easier to carry than goods(货物),countries began to make coins as their money.
The Chinese were the first to use paper money,probably in the 11th century.An Italian traveler,Marco Polo,saw the Chinese use paper money when he visited China in the 1200s.After his travel,he told the western people what he saw.But European countries didn't start using paper money till the1600s.
Today we have many ways to pay for things,such as coins,paper money and cards.Some prefer to pay by card.That's because paying with a card is easier and safer than carrying around a lot of"real"money.
