21、   In the earliest stages of man’s development he had no more need of money than animals have. He was content with very simple forms of shelter, made his own rough tools and weapons and could provide food and clothing for himself and his family from natural materials around him. As he became more civilized, however, he began to want better shelter, more efficient tools and weapons, and more comfortable and more lasting clothing than could be provided by his own neighborhood or by the work of his own unskilled hands. For these things he had to turn to the skilled people such as smiths, leather workers or carpenters. It was then that the question of payment arose.

At first he got what he wanted by a simple process of exchange. The smith who had not the time to look after land or cattle was glad to take meat or grain from the farmer in exchange for an axe or a plough (犁). But as more and more goods which had no fixed exchange value came on the market, exchange became too complicated to be satisfactory. Another problem arose when those who made things wanted to get stocks of wood or leather, or iron, but had nothing to offer in exchange until their finished goods were ready.

Thus the difficulties of exchange led by degree to the invention of money. In some countries easily handled things like seeds or shells were given a certain value and farmer, instead of paying the smith for a new axe by giving him some meat or grain, gave him so many shells. If the smith had any shells left when he had bought his food, he could get stocks of the raw materials of his trade. In some countries quite large things such as cows or camels or even big flat stones were used for trade. Later, pieces of metal, bearing values according to the rarity (稀有) of the metal and the size of the pieces, or coins were used. Money as we know it had arrived.

【1】What does the first paragraph mainly tell us?

A.Man needed little in the earliest stages. B.Man preferred to make tools by himself.

C.How the simple process of exchange arose. D.What the early man needed from others.

【2】As men became more civilized they____.

A.all learnt to make by themselves the things needed

B.wanted better things than those they themselves could provide

C.had to travel a lot to look for what they wanted

D.no longer provided food and clothing for themselves

【3】Exchange of goods became difficult because______.

A.man became more civilized

B.there was not a marketplace for farmers and smiths to exchange their goods

C.farmers hadn’t enough grain or meat to provide for skilled workers

D.more and more goods which had no fixed exchange values appeared on the market.

【4】Money was not used until_________.

A.the exchange of one for another became too complicated

B.paper was invented

C.people practiced a simple process of exchange

D.nothing could be offered in exchange

22、Vegetable may aid the brain

A study suggests certain vegetables such as broccoli (花椰菜) and spinach（菠菜）might help older women keep their minds sharp.

Researchers have discovered that women in their 60s who eat more green leafy vegetables show less signs of mental decline over time, reported Wednesday’s CRI online.

They gave participants a bundle of tests measuring memory, oral ability and attention. The study didn’t include men, but researchers say a similar diet would likely have the same results.

Eating fish can cut risk of heart rhythm disorder(心律不齐).

US scientists have found that eating fish can reduce the risk of deadly heartbeat disorders. They say baked fish can effectively reduce the risk of atria fibrillation (心房纤维性颤抖) among older men and women, reported Tuesday’s CRI online.

Researchers say in their 12 years of research among 4,800 people over the age of 65,they found those who ate fish one to four times per week had a about 30 percent lower risk compared with those who ate fish less than once a month. They say the pmega-3 fatty acids in fish can reduce the risk of a range of heart disorders and is vital to brain development and function.

More than 2 million Americans are affected by atria fibrillation, a chronic (慢性的) condition that causes shortness of breath and an inability to exercise.

Red wine may extend life

US scientists have found that a mixture that makes red wine a healthy drink may also hold the secret to a longer life. They say antioxidant (抗氧化剂) in wine acted on fruit flies and worms in the same way as a method known to extend the life of many animals, which is by sharply limiting how much they eat.CRIENGLISH.com reported Thursday.

Limiting calories has been shown to make animals such as dogs and monkeys live longer, but they are often tired and lose productivity.

The researchers will begin testing the mixture in mice, which are considerably closer to humans biologically.
