People use money to buy food, furniture, books, bicycles and hundreds of what they need or want. When they work, they usually get paid in money. Most of the money today is made of metal or paper. But people used to use all kinds of things as money. One of the first kinds of money was shells. Shells were not the only things used as money. In parts of Africa, cattle were one of the earliest kinds of money. Other animals were used as money, too. The first metal coins were made in China. They were round and had a square hole in the center. People strung（系）them together and carried them from place to place. Different countries have used different metals and designs for their money. The first coins in England were made of tin. Sweden and Russia used copper to make their money. Later, other countries began to make coin 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. They began to use paper money. The first paper money looked more like a note from one person to another than paper money used today. Money has had an interesting history from the days of shell money until today. 61. Which of the following can be cited as an example of the use of money in exchange for services? A) To sell a bicycle for ＄20 B) To get some money for old books C) To buy things you need or want D) To get paid for your work 62. Where were shells used as money in history? A) In the Philippines. B) In China C) In Africa D) It is not mentioned 63. Why, according to the passage, did ancient Chinese coins have a square hole in the center? A) Because it would be easier to put them together and carry them around. B) Because it would be lighter for people to carry them from place to place. C) Because people wanted to make it look nicer. D) Because people wanted to save the expensive metal they were made from. 64. Why does the author say that even gold and silver were inconvenient if you had to buy something expensive? A) Because they are easy to steal. B) Because they are difficult for people to obtain. C) Because they are not easy to carry around. D) Because they themselves are expensive, too. 65. Which one do you choose as the best title for this passage? A) Money and Its Uses B) Different Things Used as Money C) Different Countries, Different Money D) The History of Money Two Research has shown that motivation（动机）is very important in learning a language; you need to be enthusiastic about it, and to be interested in it. Different people will have different motives – the desire for promotion, the hope of being able to study abroad, curiosity about a very different culture, and pure intellectual enjoyment is only one of possible motives. But actually wanting to learn is the most important motive of all. Courage is an essential attribute（属性）in learning a language. It takes a lot of courage to speak a foreign language either in front of your friends or to native speakers, but don’t be afraid of making mistakes---that is the way we learn. Nowadays there are many different forms of English, each with its own constructions and accent, and, so long as you can make yourself understood and can understand what is said to you, you have succeeded in communicating, which is the purpose of any language. Curiosity is not only a possible motivation. It is also a great help in your learning. Remember that a language is not just a grammatical system, it is the outcome of a certain culture. It is not very helpful just to learn lots of words and lists of grammatical rules unless you know as much as possible about the background of the language, so that you can understand the ideas which are being conveyed（表达），the references which are being made, and the inferences which can be drawn from the information explicitly（明白地）given. So learn as much as you can about the different cultures which influence English—watch television
