The first system was barter, which worked well for a long time. But as the population grew, life became more complicated. People needed a standard unit to measure value, so money was born. Chinese people were the first to use money. They used shells as currency as early as 3,000 years ago. Later, they used copper and bronze. In 1023, the world's first paper money, jiaozi, appeared in Chengdu, China. In ancient Europe, around the 6th or 5th century BCE, people used gold and silver to make coins. Around the 17th century, paper money became popular in Europe because it was easier to carry. In the early 19th century, the Bank of England introduced "gold-backed" paper money, which could be exchanged for gold or silver in the bank. This made people feel more secure. Today, we use digital currency more and more. But the history of money shows us that it is always changing to meet people's needs. 1. What is a barter system? A. A system of using paper money. B. A system of trading things directly, like a cow for a horse. C. A system of using digital currency. D. A system of using gold and silver coins. 2. When did the world's first paper money appear? A. 3,000 years ago. B. In the 6th century BCE. C. In 1023. D. In the 17th century. 3. Why did paper money become popular in Europe? A. It was more valuable than gold. B. It was easier to carry and store. C. It was cheaper than coins. D. It was more beautiful than coins. 4. What is "gold-backed" paper money? A. Paper money that is made of gold. B. Paper money that can be exchanged for gold or silver in the bank. C. Paper money that is only used in China. D. Paper money that is worth a lot of gold. 5. What can we learn from the history of money? A. Money is always changing to meet people's needs. B. Paper money is the best form of money. C. Barter system is still used today. D.
