When I was 14, I left school with learning disabilities and decided to surf the biggest waves in the world, first in California and then in Hawaii. One morning, I met an old man, a bum, on the street corner. He asked me if I was running away from home. I told him, “Not exactly, sir, because my father had given me a ride to the train station and said, “ It is important to follow your dream, son.”
After talking for a while, he told me that he had something to show me and share with me. We walked several blocks until we reached a public library.
The bum asked me to sit down and wait for a moment. Later he returned with some old books and sat beside me. Then he said, “There are two things that I want to teach you, young man. Number one is to never judge a book by its cover, for a cover can fool you. I’ll bet you think I’m a bum, don’t you?” I said, “I guess so, sir.”
“Well, young man, I've got a little surprise for you. I am one of the richest men in the world. But a year ago, when my wife passed away, I realized there were certain things I had not yet experienced in life, one of which was what it would be like to live like a bum on the streets. For the past year I have been going from city to city doing just that. Number two is to learn how to read, for there is only one thing that people can’t take away from you, and that is your wisdom(智慧). ”At that moment, he gave me the books he’d pulled from the shelves.
The bum took me back to the street where we first met. He asked me never to forget what he taught me when we left each other.

When we think of money, we think of coins and paper bills. That is what money is today. But in the past people used many things in place of money. Some countries used cows. Other countries used salt, tobacco, tea or stones. Today there are stills some places in the world that do not use paper money. One place is the island of Yap in the Pacific Ocean.
On the island of Yap, people use the heaviest money in the world —Yap stones. These are round, white stones with a hole in the middle. The Yap stones do not originate from the island. The Yap men have to go to the islands four hundred miles away to fetch them. Big stones can be twelve feet high — as big as two tall men. Small stones are as big as a dinner plate.
Rich people do not carry the Yap stones. Servants follow the rich. Each servant carries a stone on a pole over his shoulder. Today the people on the island use paper money for everyday shopping. But for other things they still prefer Yap stones.
1.On the island of Yap, people use ____ as money.
