33、xchange 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 b

34、y 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, h

35、e 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

40、(区别) themselves by obtaining a double major or even a double degree. increasingly, employers are looking for individuals who are not only competent and intelligent, but who have different skill sets and who are knowledgeable in many areas. part of the appeal to employers is that your extra work demo

42、ted and integrated subjects that complement (补充) each other. classes overlap between the majors, meaning fewer classes are required than with a double degree, so it is easier to finish within four years.in contrast, with the more rigorous (严格的) double degree, you will be studying for two different d

43、egrees in two completely different areas of study. although pursuing such a course of study allows students to complete two wholly separate degrees in less time than if they were to earn them separately, many strong students still find it incredibly difficult to complete in four or five years.if you
