Ⅴ. Reading comprehension
The
Beginning of Money
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 neighbourhood or by the work of
his own unskilled hands. For these things he had to turn
to theskilled people such as smiths, leather workers or
carpenters who were springing up everywhere. 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. 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 degrees to the invention of money.
In some countries, easily handled things like seeds or
shells were given a certain value and the 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 of the
metal and the size of the pieces, or coins were used.
Money as we know it had arrived.

natural materials around them.
2． As men became more civilized they
________.
A. all learnt
to make by themselves the things they needed

a lot to look for what they wanted

things than those they themselves could provide

food and clothing for themselves

because ________.
A. there was not
a marketplace for farmers and smiths to exchange their
goods
B. farmers were

goods which had no fixed exchange value came to the market

did not work hard enough to produce good tools and weapons
