       In modern society people use money every day. 16. 似乎钱(它) 在我们生活中很重要。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 17. 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 rice salt large stones etc.

       During the 600s B C. 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.

18. The Chinese were the first to use paper money probably as early as the 11^th century. The Italian traveler Marco Polo saw the Chinese using money when he visited China in the 1200s. However 19. 欧洲国家直到17世纪才开始使用纸币。

       Today we have many ways to pay for things. We do not use coins or paper money. 20.

Often people prefer to pay for things by card. Paying with a card is easier and safer than carrying around a lot of “real” money.
