16、ange for goods and services. People use money to buy food, furniture, books, bicycles and hundreds of others they need or want.

17、 of money was shells.Shells were not the only things used as money. In China, cloth and knives were used. In the Philippine Islands, rice was used as money. In some parts of Africa, cattle were one of the earliest kinds of money. Other animals were used as money, too.The first metal coins were made

18、in China. They were round and had a square hole in the center. People strung them together and carried them from place to place.Different countries have used different metals and designs for their money. The first coins in England were made of tin. Sweden and Russia used copper to make their money.

19、Later, other countries began to make coins of gold and silver.But even gold and silver were inconvenient if you had to buy something expensive. Again the Chinese thought of a way to improve money. They began to use paper money. (80) The first paper money looked more like a note from one person to an

20、other than paper money used today.Money has had an interesting history from the days of shell money until today.1.

(78) The meanings of. thousands of everyday perceptions , the bases for the decisions

25、we make, and the roots of our habits and skills are to be found in our past experiences, which are brought into the present by memory.Memory can be defined as the capacity to keep information available for later use. It includes not only remembering things like arithmetic or historical facts, but al

26、so involving any change in the way an animal typically behaves. (79)Memory is involved when a rat gives up eating grain because he has sniffed something suspicious in the grain pile. Memory is also involved when a six-year-old child learns to swing a baseball bat.Memory exists not only in humans and

27、 animals but also in some physical objects and machines. Computers, for example, contain devices for storing data for later use. It is interesting to compare the memory-storage capacity of a computer with that of a human being. The instant-access memory of a large computer may hold up to 100,000 wor

28、ds -ready for instant use. An average U.S. teenager probably recognizes the meaning of about 100,000 words of English.

36、ws there is a good conductor on the job.Strange as this behavior may be, there is a very good reason for it.
