As time passed, people learned to raise animals and crops. Sometimes, families produced more than they needed, so they started to trade (贸易) with other families .Later, people began to use money as a mean 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 (货物) 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 only use coins or paper money. Often, people prefer to pay for things by cards. Paying with a card is easier and safer than carrying around a lot of “real” money.41.

Even today trees continue to serve man in many ways. Trees provide man with fruits and building materials (材料) in the form of wood. Without trees, it would be impossible to build houses, boats and even bridges. Most of furniture such as tables, chairs and beds is made of wood.In the tropics (热带地区) where it is very hot all through the year, trees protect man from the terrible heat. They are also useful in stopping good and rich top soil from being washed away during heavy rains which are so often in the tropics. If there were no trees or other plants to hold back the soil with their roots, heavy rains would wash away the rich surface (表面) soil that is so important and necessary to people. The result is that the land becomes a desert.There are many desert areas in the world. A long time ago these desert areas must have been very rich areas, but since our ancestors (祖先) in the past had no enough knowledge about science of nature, they nearly cut down all the trees in the areas where they lived and never planted new ones. Gradually, the rich surface soil was blown away and washed away by strong wind and heavy rain. In the end, the land was turned into useless desert where nothing could grow.46.
