Today anyone will accept money in exchange for goods and services.People use money to buy food, furniture,books,bicycles and hundreds of other things they need or want. When they work, they usually get paid in money.

Most of the money today is made of metal(金属) 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 China , cloth and knives were used. In the Phillipine Islands, rice was used as money for a long time. Elephant tusks,monkey tails and salt were used as money in parts of Africa.

The first metal coins were made in China. They were round and had a square hole in  the centre.People strung(串联)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(锡).Sweden and Russia used copper(铜)to make their money. Later some countries began to make coins 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 note from one person to another than the paper money used today.

Money has had an interesting history from the days of shell money until today.

56.The main use of money is that _________.

   A.people use it to buy things to eat

   B.people accept money only in exchange for clothes

   D.They were round with a square hole in the centre.

58.Who thought of a way to use paper money first?

   A.The Chinese    B.The Russian  

   C.The Sweden     D.The English men

    Throughout history, people have been interested in knowing how language first began, but no one knows exactly where or how this happened. However, we do know a lot about languages, the languages of today and also the languages of earlier times. There are probably about three thousand languages in the world today. Chinese is the language with the most speakers. English, Russian and Spanish are also spoken by many millions of people. On the other hand, some languages in the world have less than one hundred speakers.

There are several important families of languages in the world. For example, most of the languages of Europe are in one large family called Indo-European. The original (最初的) language of this family was spoken about 4,500 years ago. Many of the present day languages of Europe and India are modern forms of the language of 4,500 years ago.

Languages are always changing. The English of today is very different from the English of 500 years ago. In time some even die out completely. About 1,000 years ago English was a little -known of German spoken on one of the borders(边界)of Europe.

If a language has a lot of speakers or if it is very old, there may be differences in the way it is spoken in different areas. That is, the language may have several dialects. Chinese is a good example of dialect differences. Chinese has been spoken for thousands of years by many millions of speakers. The differences between the dialects of Chinese are so great that speakers of Chinese from some parts of China cannot understand speakers from other parts.

60. The first paragraph mainly tells us that_______.

    A. most people in the world speak Chinese

    B. there are thousands of languages in the world today

    C. man has much knowledge about languages

    D. some people know several languages

61. Many European and Indian languages ______.

    D. come from the same family

    A. Chinese        B. English        C. Spanish        D. German

63. The best title of this passage is        .

    A. English                          B. Changes of English

  Sometimes people add to what they say even when they don’t talk. Gestures are the “silent language” of every culture. We point a finger or move another part of the body to show what we want to say.It is important to know the body language of every country or we may be misunderstood.

  In the United States,people greet each other with a handshake in a formal introduction.The handshake must be firm.If the handshake is weak,it is a sign of weakness or unfriendliness.Friends may place a hand on the other's arm or shoulder.Some people,usually women,greet a friend with a hug(拥抱).

  Space is important to Americans.When two people talk to each other,they usually stand about two and a half feet away and at an angle,so they are not facing each other directly.Americans get uncomfortable when a person stands too close.They will move back to have their space.If Americans touch another person by accident,they say “Pardon me” or “Excuse me”.

  Americans like to look at the other person in the eyes when they are talking.If you don't do so,it means you are bored,hiding something,or are not interested.But when you stare at someone,it is not polite.

  For Americans,thumbs-up means yes,very good,or well done.Thumbs-down means the opposite.To call a waiter,raise one hand to head level or above.To show you want the check,make a movement with your hands as if you are signing a piece of paper.It is all right to point at things but not at people with the hand and index finger(食指).Americans shake their index finger at children when they scold them and pat them on the head when they admire them.

  Learning a culture's body language is sometimes confusing(使糊涂的).If you don't know what to do,the safest thing to do is to smile.

64.From the first paragraph we can learn that ________.

A.gestures don't mean anything while talking

B.gestures can help us to express ourselves

C.we can learn a language well without body language

D.only American people can use gestures
65.If you are introduced to a stranger from the USA,you should _______.

A.greet him with a hug

B.place a hand on his shoulder

C.shake his hand firmly

D.shake his hand weakly

A.show their friendship by touching each other

B.show their friendship by glancing at each other

C.say “Pardon me” to each other when they are talking

    请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。

   . Anger is a natural reaction which comes out when we feel that we have not been given a fair treatment. The positive(积极的) side of this negative(消极的) emotion is that it has helped us to evolve(进化,演变) as humans and cope(应对) in a better manner with our surroundings. However, it tends to become a problem when we fail to control it. Many a time it happens that your anger has hurt others or has spoiled(宠坏) one of your relationships for which you regret later. It has some bad effects on the health, too.

    We should control anger so that it does not cause harm to us or to those around us whom we love. One of the best ways to control anger is to get help from others. If you feel that you are unable to manage your anger, it can make you more upset. So tell someone that is close to you, a friend or a family member, about your problem. When you discuss a matter with others, there is a better chance of finding a solution to your problem. Besides, there are no better stress relievers than humor. When you feel that it is because of stress that your anger is becoming unmanageable, you can use humor. It can help you look at difficult things in a lighter way and you will feel better about the things around you.

    Anger tends to make us have a lot of negative thoughts. Therefore, we have to change the negative thoughts into positive ones. For this you have to first refuse all the negative thoughts that are in your mind one by one. This can be done with a lot of practice. Once you are successful in that, you have to maintain your focus only on the positive things of life.

    Meditation (冥想) is an excellent anger management technique. In addition, what we do is disconnect(使分离) ourselves from the outer world and focus all our attention into the inner world. This helps us develop a sense of controlling our thoughts that tend to cause anger.

Dear John,

I’d like to thank you for your kind help in the terrible fog on my first day in London. It was your kindness that made me feel safe.

August 25, which was my first day in London, is an unforgettable day for me. On stepping on the land of London, I found myself caught in a terrible fog. I was at a loss and couldn’t find the way to my school. I was so frightened that I could hear my heart beating fast. Just at that time, you spoke to me and offered help. You took my hand and led me confidently to my school. On the way, you encouraged me how and then, which helped me get rid of fear. I wouldn’t have found my school so quickly without your help.

I have settled down and got used to the weather in London. Now and then I would think about you. I hope one day I can have the chance to express my thanks to you personally.

Sincerely yours,

Li Hua
