Unit 7 The value of money
一、阅读理解，本大题共5小题，每小题4分，共20分。阅读下列短文，根据短文内容选择最佳选项。
When people pay for goods or services, they use money. You can find examples of money in museums around the world. But do you know how money has developed over time?
Before people used money, they traded goods directly. For example, someone might trade a cow for five sheep. In this case, the cow was used as a form of “money”. People in ancient China invented shell money. Even today we can see the symbol of “shell” in many Chinese characters about money or trade. During the Spring and Autumn Period, each state made its own money. Later, Emperor Qin Shi Huang united China and created one type of money for the whole country. It was a round coin with a square hole in the center. With such a hole, people could put the money together with a rope and carry them around easily. Centuries later, when there was less metal for making money, the government of the Song Dynasty started to produce paper money—“jiaozi”.
This great invention later also appeared in other parts of the world. Now, as information technology develops, people begin to use digital money. If a foreign tourist visits China, he will find people pay for almost everything through their mobile phones.
What will money look like in the future? Will there still be paper money? We may not have answers to those questions. But money will surely continue to exist in some form.
