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?

阅读短文，根据题目要求完成各小题。

“Excuse me! Could you tell me what is the most important day in our lives? Is it the day were born or the day we die? Is it the day we fall in love or the day we are successful?” A young man asked a wise man in the mountain. He wanted to ask for wisdom (智慧) of life.

“None. The most important day in our lives is today.” the wise man replied calmly.

“Why?” the young man was very surprised. “Is it because there is some unusual event taking place today?”

“No. Nothing has happened today.”

“So is it because of my visit?”

“Even if nobody visited me today, today is still very important, because today is the only wealth(财富) we have. No matter how important yesterday is, it has gone by; （73） no matter how wonderful tomorrow may be, it hasn't come; no matter how ordinary and boring today is, it is in our hands.”

The young man still wanted to ask something, but the wise man stopped him and said, “When we are talking about the importance of today, we have wasted a lot of it. That is to say, part of ‘today’ has passed.”

Having understood this, the young man nodded and then went down the mountain.（74） Actually today is the only wealth and chance we have. Therefore, what we should do now is to forget yesterday and tomorrow and catch hold of today!

1.Why did the young man want to visit the wise man?

2.Did the young man get the answer to his question?

（二）将短文中划线的句子译成汉语。

3.___________________________________________
