lately. Apparently, the idea of money that's not tied to a specific bank-or a specific country-is appealing to many. But it's worth remembering that the banking system that we now all live with is just that: a modern invention. In the past, money's makeup varied from place to place, depending on what was considered valuable there. Today, on an island in the Pacific, a specific type of shell still 吾"靴 serves as currency - and some people there are even hoarding it, convinced that one day. it will make them wealthy beyond imagination. On Malaita, the largest island that's part of the Solomon Islands, shells are accepted at most places in exchange for goods. "How much tuna(金枪鱼肉) you can get for your shells depends on their color and shape,” Mary Bruno: a shop owner from the city of Auki on Malaita, said. "One string o 才斑 darker shells might get you about two cans of tuna, but the red ones are worth more, For the red ones, one string might get enough tuna to feed a big family for a long time." There's only one place on the island where the shells, which are polished and strung together to form 3-foot-long ropes, are made. The strings of red, white, and black shells all come from the Langa Langa Lagoon. Once trapped out on the islands, the locals needed a currency to use among themselves, and so the shell currency was born. Using shells for money was common throughout the Pacific islands as late as the early 190os, but Malaita is unique in that they all still are used today. And just like Bitcoin. there are those who think the islanders are smart to invest (投资) in this type of money. which is reported to have risen in value over the last three decades. It might seem strange (甲凶)音 to keep a bunch of processed, strung-together shells, but what is a pile of dollars? 21. Which of the following can replace“hoarding" underlined in Paragraph 2? B.Storing.

The children are members of WeWork's first school. WeGrow, where farming is part of the curriculum. They were interacting with WeGrow employees browsing the goods. "How many carrots would you like?"One girl asked. "We take Apple Pay,"another shouted. Founded in 2o1o, WeWork has made a name for itself as a global network of coworking spaces. WeGrow is WeWork's newest enterprise(事业) and its first attempt in the education industry. WeGrow, a school which claims to grow"conscious leaders", is inspired by the Montessori approach to learning that gives children the freedom to explore and choose their activities, so their nature of creativity and curiosity is preserved. But the goal is not to create next-generation CEOs. "Leadership is a bit of an exciting word for people," said Rebekah, WeGrow's founder and CEO. "We've seen children do such a thing forever - running a lemonade stand every time, that's what that is." WeGrow opened in the fall last year. Currently, 46 kids are enrolled in classes from pre-kindergarten to fourth grade. The kids start every morning with live music, followed by yoga. They spend time in nature and choose to take either Hebrew or Mandarin courses. WeGrow students learn science, math, social studies and language arts. It also has a program for kids to connect with WeWork community members with careers in areas kids might be interested in. But the main concern is that standardized tests are not available to measure the students' overall progress. They want to create an environment where people can work to make a life and not just a living, but that's part of a larger mission to raise the world's awareness towards creating a world where people are happy and fulfilled and living in a sharing state. 28.

Because the students are of a wide age range. C. Because standardized tests have limitations. D. Because the school lacks professional testers. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Farming-featured School B. An Education-based Business C. Grow to Be a Future Leader D.

Finally there was only one family between us and the ticket counter. 1-7 This family made a big impression on me. There were eight children, all probably under the age of twelve. You could tell they didn't have a lot of money. Their clothes were not expensive, but they were clean. The children were well-behaved, all of them standing in line, two-by-two behind their parents, holding hands. They were excitedly talking about the clowns, elephants and other acts they would see that night with their brothers or sisters in a low voice. One could sense they had never been to the circus before. It promised to be a highlight of their young lives. The father and mother were at the head of the line, standing proud as they could be. The mother was holding her husband's hand, looking up at him as if to say,"You are my knight in shining armor.”He was smiling and responding in pride, looking back at her as if to say,"You got that right". The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted. He proudly responded,"Please let me buy eight children's tickets and two adult tickets so I can take my family to the circus."
