　　Long ago, people lived on wild animals, fruits and other plants and they didn't need to use money．

　　As time passed, families had more products(产品)than they needed, such as animals and crops．So they needed to trade(交易)with others．They began to use money to make it easier．However, it was not like the money we use today．They used shells, rice, salt or large stones．

　　During the 600s BC, people began using coins as money．Because they were easier to carry than goods(货物), countries began to make coins as their money．

　　The Chinese were the first to use paper money, probably in the 11th century．An Italian traveler, Marco Polo, saw the Chinese use paper money when he visited China in the 1200s．After his travel, he told the western people what he saw．But European countries didn't start using paper money till the1600s．

　　Today we have many ways to pay for things, such as coins, paper money and cards．Some prefer to pay by card．That's because paying with a card is easier and safer than carrying around a lot of “real” money．

　　I will never forget the lesson about my window．Four years ago, I moved to a house in a large town．One of my new neighbors’ house was only a few feet away from mine．There lived a woman．Through one of my windows, I could see her reading by her window every afternoon．

　　Several months later, I found I couldn't see the woman clearly．I thought her window was too dirty．I said to myself, “Why doesn't she clean her window? It looks terrible!”

　　One afternoon, I decided to clean my house including(包括)the window．I felt tired after three hours of hard work．So I sat down by the window for a rest．What a surprise! I could see the woman reading there clearly again! By that time, I realized that my own window was too dirty, not hers! I really felt ashamed for myself．I had been watching her through my dirty window in the past days!

　　The experience is very important for me．So I try to clean the window of my heart before judging(评判)others．

阅读下面两篇短文，根据短文内容，选择最佳选项。

　　Wang Bing's father began smoking when he was a freshman(大学一年级学生)in college．His friend passed him his first cigarette．He has now been smoking for more than 30 years．

　　It's a classic example of how young people are introduced to cigarettes, except that nowadays smokers develop their habit at an even younger age．

　　It has become a major concern(担忧)in China that many teenagers begin to smoke．A survey showed that 22.5％ of the middle school students questioned had tried smoking and 15.8％ of them smoked regularly．

　　For many teenagers, smoking is a symbol of being an adult, independence, maturity(成熟)and attractiveness because the images who they love best often smoke on screen．

　　The social environment also plays an important role in attracting teenagers to smoking．They are used to seeing their elders, especially male family members, smoking at home．Many of them imitate adult behavior and become new smokers．

　　To increase the price of cigarettes is an effective way to reduce the number of young smokers, as teenagers have limited money to spend on them．

　　Another way is to educate the teenagers to voluntarily refuse cigarettes．A survey shows that 92.5％ of the students know smoking will be bad for their health．If we persuade them in a proper way, most of them may give up smoking．

　　All in all, the society, the government, the school and the family should join together to take the responsibility for an anti－smoking(禁烟)campaign aimed at teenagers, not just to put empty slogans and warnings on cigarette packs．

　　It's reported that a company called MicroCHIPS has developed a wirelessly controlled device(装置)．The device is put under the skin and can supply a drug directly into the patient's body．People give the name“microchips” to it．

　　Microchips bring good news to patients with long－term(长期的)illnesses, for example, Osteoporosis(骨质疏松症)．People with Osteoporosis have to get daily injections(注射)of medicine．One type of treatment requires injections for two years．Many patients stop taking the medicine because of the pain and stress of the infections．However, microchips can deal with it．Doctors will program the device before putting it under the skin, and the device has the ability to release(释放)a dose(剂量)at a given time, every single day．One microchip can hold a full year's worth of medicine．

　　Microchips may one day free(使……摆脱)people from having to remember to take their medicine, or get injections．The device may also be useful in treating other long－term diseases, including heart disease, cancer and even AIDS．

　　Have you heard of the term“etiquette” And do you know that etiquette is not only a useful word 　　1　　 very useful to understand?

　　It was a cold morning on a beach in Florida．Only a few people were out．They came upon a strange sight．Huge black whales(鲸鱼)were lying on the sand．The whales were 20 feet long．They almost covered the beach．

　　Many of the whales were still living．A rescue(营救)team came with boats and long ropes(绳子)．They tied(系)the ropes around the tails of some whales．They used the boats to pull the whales into deep water．Some of the whales turned around as soon as they were free．They began to swim back to the beach．About 50 whales were saved, but the others died on the beach．

　　Why did the whales swim onto the beach in the first place? They may have been following a leader．Whales swim in a group．Sometimes they could be sick．A sick whale swims onto a beach．If the sick whale is a leader, some of the others may follow it．
