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(產(chǎn)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(貨物), 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.
小題1:People began to use money because they ______.
A. lived on plants           B. raised animals        C. needed to trade
小題2:People used ______ as money during the 600s BC.

What is your favorite colour? Do you like yellow, orange, red? If you do, you must be an optimist (樂觀者), a leader or an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you prefer grey and blue? Then you are probably quiet, shy and you would rather follow than lead. If you love green, you are strong-minded and determined(有決心的). You wish to succeed and want other people to see you are successful. At least this is what psychologists(心理學(xué)家)tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colour preference (愛好), and the effect that colours have on human beings(人類).They tell us that we don’t choose our favorite colour as we grow up. If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.
A yellow room makes us feel more cheerful and comfortable than a dark green one, and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing(壓抑的). Light and bright colours make people not only happier but also more active. It is a fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or dark grey .
Remember, then, that if you feel low, you can always brighten your day or your life with a new shirt or a few colourful things. Remember also that you will know your friends and your enemies better when you find out what colours they like and dislike. And don’t forget that anyone can guess a lot about your character when you choose a piece of handkerchief or a lampshade(燈罩).
小題1:According to this passage, ________. 
A．one can choose his colour preference
B．one is born with his colour preference
C．one’s colour preference is changeable
D．one has to choose his favourite colour as he can see clearly

A．red to yellow B．blue to orange

小題3:The main idea of this passage is ________.
A．one’s color preference show one’s character
B．you can brighten your life with wonderful colours
C．psychologists have been studying the meaning of colour preference
D．one’s color preference has something to do with his character and colours have effects on human beings

Richard is an exchange student from the USA. He is teaching his friends at Rose Garden School how to play Softball. He is explaining the rules.
Richard:     First, we need a bat, a ball and some bases.
Ben:        What are bases?
Richard:     They are flat squares that show you where to run. After you hit the ball, you have to run around the bases.
If you stand on a base, you are safe. If you are running to a base, and the other team touches the base with the ball, then you are out.
Jennifer:     Oh, I see. How would I hit the ball?
Richard:     Have you seen baseball on television?
Jennifer:     I have.
Richard:     Well, Softball is like baseball, only the ball is bigger and softer too.
Jennifer:     Do you like volleyball? I love it.
Richard:     I like to play beach volleyball. It’s different from volleyball.

Richard:     No. In the USA, we have football and soccer. Soccer is a game that is played around the world.
In other countries, soccer is called football. In the USA, we also play a different game called football.
In this game, you throw the ball and you have to wear a helmet to play.
