In modern society, people use money every day. It seems that it is very important in our life. That’s because without money you can’t buy any goods(商品) you want. But I think few people know the history of money.
Long ago, people did not need money. They lived on wild animals, fruits and other plants. As time passed, people learned to raise animals and crops. Sometimes, families produced more than they needed, so they started to trade with other families. Later, people began to use money as a means of exchange. However, it was not the kind of money we use today. They used shells（贝壳）, 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 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 can pay in cash or pay for things by card. Often, people prefer to pay by a smart-phone. Paying by a smart-phone is easier and safer than carrying around a lot of “real” money.
1.Why is money very important in our life?
____________________________________________
2.What did people depend on when they didn’t need money?

3.Had people begun using coins as money since the 600s BC?

In modern society, living without money sounds almost impossible. However, that’s exactly what an Australian couple from a big city has been doing for nearly a whole year.
Rachel Newby, 25, and Liam Culbertson, 27, have come up with creative ways of making it through the year without spending any money. They built themselves a new house. The house was made of used wood and recycled materials. They grew their own food, and at times they didn’t hesitate to look for food in the dustbins (垃圾箱).
But this year has been quite difficult. The soil in their garden was too poor to grow vegetables. The climate (气候) there was terrible as well. They kept moving their home till they finally lived in a 2.5-square-meter house. They collected cold rainwater to take a shower. What’s worse, they had to share a toilet with the rest of the community.
Even though they had no jobs, they didn’t have a lot of free time to waste. They spent most of the day working for local farmers planting vegetables and picking fruit so that they could earn their next meal. They had five ducks that could provide them with fresh eggs. But when there wasn’t enough food for them, they had to go to look for food in the dustbins.
Not everyone is brave enough to do this. But they really made it work and they felt happy.
1.What did the Australian couple live without money for?
A. Teaching people a lesson. B. Their jobs.
C. Local farmers. D. A special experience.
2.How did the Australian couple feed themselves?
A. They sold vegetables and fruit for money.
B. They mainly depended on the food in the dustbins.
C. They tried their best to get everything necessary themselves.
D. They expected other people to give food to them.
3.What does the underlined word “hesitate” mean in Chinese?
A. 坚持 B. 犹豫 C. 决心 D. 尝试
4.How might the writer feel about the Australian couple?
A. They are a bit strange.
B. They are very brave.
C. They are young and smart.
D. They are very funny.
5.What can we infer from the passage?
A. The Australian couple hated the city life so they lived in the country.
B. The Australian couple would continue to live there for the rest of their life.
C. Nothing is impossible as long as you use your head and work hard enough.
D. More and more old people are looking forward to living in the countryside.

Chinese TV shows that describe young people's lives in modern society are crossing the cultural divide and attracting a lot of foreign audiences.
One of the examples is the Chinese TV series "A Beautiful Daughter-in-law Era", a light comedy about a modern Chinese couple.
The TV series was first aired in Shanghai in November 2009. It was dubbed in Swahili and broadcast in east African countries in 2011. Two Kenyan（肯尼亚人） actresses were chosen to do voice dubbing for the two leading roles in the African version of the series. It was a great success in Africa.
Tanzanians（坦桑尼亚人） say that they are able to understand how young Chinese people live happily in modern times and they may be able to find ways to solve their personal problems by watching the series.
Although China is one of the world's most prolific（多产的） producers of TV series, its series are not particularly popular overseas. The popularity of "A Beautiful Daughter-In-Law Era" may serve as an example for Chinese TV producers who want to bring their work to other countries.
In recent years, some TV series that show the lives of people in Chinese cities have achieved some success in the foreign market.
"Go Lala Go!," a TV series that details the adventures of a female office worker named Du Lala, has also started to reach global audiences. The series has been exported to Singapore, Malaysia, the United States and Canada.
"The Chinese dream will be more easily accepted by foreign audiences when it is manifested in small and touching stories," said Meng Jian, a professor at Fudan University.
1.What can Tanzanians do by watching the Chinese TV series "A Beautiful Daughter-in-law Era"?
A．They can be chosen to do voice dubbing for the leading roles.
B．They can bring their work to other countries.
C．They can find ways to solve their personal problems.
D．They can be successful at work.
2.Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A．"Go Lala Go!," is very popular in Africa.
B．All the Chinese TV series are popular overseas.
C．Some Chinese TV series that show the lives of people in Chinese countries have achieved some success in the foreign market.
D．Africans can understand the happy lives of Chinese young people in modern times.
3.What does the word “dub” mean in the third paragraph?
A．表演 B．配音 C．制作 D．拍摄
4.What’s the best title of the passage?
A．Cultural crossing B．Chinese TV shows
C．A great success D．Young people’s lives

Since the beginning of time no three words have ever invited more pleasure than“I love you”.But can love be bought? I’m afraid not. Love means to give, not to take. To every person, health and a long life are probably the best things.（2）用钱能买得到健康和长寿吗? The answer is “No”.
（3）Of all the longest living people in the world, few of them are millionaires. True friendship can’t be bought, either. In a word, where money is dreamed too much, it can cause brothers to quarrel, marriage to end, lovers to hate, and strangers to fight. No matter how much money you have, it is still not enough to make a happy person if you have no one to laugh with, no one to cry for.
