Today everyone uses money to buy food, furniture, books, cars and hundreds of other things, even services that they need or want. When they work, they usually get paid with money.
Most of the money today is made of metal or paper, but people used all kinds of things as money in the past. One of the first kinds of money was the shell.
Shells were not the only things used as money either. In China, cloth and knives were also used. In the Philippine Islands, rice was 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. So people could put them together with a thin rope and carry 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 coins from gold and silver.
But even gold and silver were inconvenient (不方便的) if you had to buy something expensive. Again, Chinese people 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.
34. Where were shells used as money in the past?
A. In the Philippines.
B. In China.
C. In Africa.
D. The writer doesn’t tell us.
35. According to the passage, why 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 them look nicer.
D. Because people wanted to save the expense.
36. Why does the writer 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 get.
C. Because they are not easy to carry around.
D. Because they themselves are expensive, too.
37. Which title do you choose as the best one for this passage?
A. Money and Its Uses
B. Different Things used as Money
C. Different Countries, Different Money
D. The History of Money
( C )
Most Americans enjoy moving from one place to another. They are always in constant motion. For example, they often drive their cars 120 to 160 kilometers away just to have dinner with a friend or even fly to Europe just for watching a football match. In some states only one house in five has people living in it for more than five years. One may be born in one city, and go to school in another. He may finish his middle school education in two or three cities, and then attend a college far across the country. When he has entered business, he may possibly move from job to job. Moving from job to job, which is called “job-hopping”, is a very common practice in the United States.
Job-hopping does good to workers, because every chance to change a job gives them a chance to move up to a higher position and to get better pay. And job-hopping also gives employers, bosses, managers the chance to benefit from the new ideas and skills that different people bring to their factories.
38. The meaning of the underlined words is close to “ ______ ”.
A. looking for jobs everywhere
B. always feeling excited in movement

It was a long and stormy journey, and they made me earn my passage as a common sailor. When I stepped on land in London, my clothes were ragged and shabby, and I only had a dollar in my pocket. This money fed and sheltered me for 24 hours. During the next 24 hours I went without
food and shelter.
About ten o’clock on the following morning, tired and hungry, I was walking along Portland Place, when a passing child, threw a big pear into the rubbish can（桶）. I stopped, of course, and stared at that muddy treasure. My mouth watered for it. My whole body begged for it. But every time I made a move to get it, some passing eyes noticed my purpose, and of course I straightened u p, looked calm, and pretended that I hadn’t been thinking about the pear at all. The same thing kept happening and happening, and I couldn’t get the pear. I was just getting desperate enough to face all the shame and get the pear, when a window behind me was opened, and a gentleman said, “Step in here, please.”

Canada is the second largest country in the world. It has French and English as its official languages. Its population is slightly over 30 million and Ottawa is the capital.
Canada is 5500 kilometers from coast to coast and it covers six time zones. When you are in Canada, you can see Rocky Mountains, numerous lakes and wide rivers, beautiful forests, as well as some famous cities, such as Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal. However, in climate, there exists a sharp difference. The northern part of the country has a long and chilly winter, while the west coastal region has a warm one. In addition, Canada is rich in natural resources, such as fresh water, forests and fishery.
In my eyes, in Canada you can not only see some great scenery, such as the great Niagara Falls, the CN Tower, but also enjoy a mixture of many cultures and races. I am sure you will have a good time when you study there.。
