But in ancient China, hand fans were almost the only ones to help people keep cool. There are many types of hand fans with different uses. Chinese people started to use hand fans over two thousand years ago. The fans came in different shapes, such as round and square. They were also made of all kinds of materials. The ancient round fans have different shapes which are made according to their own preferences. Palm (棕榈) leaf fans were not expensive and not difficult to make even most people can have. Feather fans once could be used only by a few people who had wealth and had power. Sandalwood fans could send out a sweet smell that let people like them. Later, hand fans became far more than just something that could cool you down. They developed into artworks in which tuanshan (round fans) and zheshan (folded fans) were the most common. In the shape of a full moon, tuanshan were usually made of silk. They had beautiful birds and flowers on them. Women, especially those in the imperial palace, liked using them. Meanwhile, men, especially the poets, used zheshan. The poets liked them because zheshan was usually made of paper and they could paint and write poems on them. It was a way for them to demonstrate their ability in literature painting and handwriting. Almost anything can be painted on zheshan. A small fan can show its unique charm in the hand and has played an important role in Chinese traditional art for thousands of years. Today Chinese people still use these fans. Fans come in many shapes and materials including plastic, cloth and so on. According to different usage, we invent electric fans which can be carried around and are more convenient to use. 1．Why does the author mention electric fans at the start? A．To lead into the main subject. B．To explain how they work. C．To tell a story about them. D．To show they are better. 2．Which of the following fans was only used by rich people in ancient times? A．Palm leaf fans. B．Feather fans. C．Sandalwood fans. D．cloth fans. 3．What does the underlined word “demonstrate” mean? A．Bring out. B．Point out. C．Show off. D．Hold up. 4．What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refer to (指代)? A．Tuanshan (round fans). B．Beautiful birds and flowers. C．Artworks. D．Women in the imperial palace. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了中国传统手扇的悠久历史、丰富多样的形状与制作材料，详细探讨了团扇和折扇的文化内涵以及它们在古代男女日常生活和艺术表现中的重要作用。 【详解】1．根据第一段中的“You may think you cannot live through summer without electric fans. But in ancient China, hand fans were almost the only ones to help people keep cool.”可知，作者在开头首先提及现代人夏天离不开的电风扇，随后话锋一转引出中国古代的避暑工具手扇。这说明作者在开头提及电风扇是为了引入文章的中心主题。 2．根据第二段中的“Feather fans once could be used only by a few people who had wealth and had power.”可知，羽毛扇在古代曾经只能被少数拥有财富和权力的人使用，即只能被有钱人使用。 3．根据第四段中的“The poets liked them because zheshan was usually made of paper and they could paint and write poems on them. It was a way for them to demonstrate their ability in literature painting and handwriting.”并结合常识可知，诗人们喜欢在纸质折扇上写诗作画，这是他们用来向他人“展示、炫耀”自己在文学、绘画和书法方面才华的一种手段。由此推断，画线单词“demonstrate”意为“展示，炫耀”。 4．根据第三段中的“In the shape of a full moon, tuanshan were usually made of silk. They had beautiful birds and flowers on them. Women, especially those in the imperial palace, liked using them.”可知，本段主要围绕“tuanshan”的外形和材质展开，因此后文指代的妇女们喜欢使用的对象正是团扇。 Passage8 （25-26九年级上·江苏南京·阶段检测）Recently, a Chinese technology company called DeepSeek has caught global attention. It mainly focuses on artificial intelligence (AI) as well as big data and aims to solve problems in areas like education, healthcare, and finance (财政). The DeepSeek’s AI is designed to make life easier and more productive, but we still need to treat it in a reasonable way. What can DeepSeek’s AI bring to us? In education, DeepSeek’s AI can make learning more personalized for students by identifying strengths and weaknesses, providing study materials, and helping improve efficiency (效率). One major benefit is its ability to analyze (分析) large amounts of data quickly and accurately, which means students can receive timely feedback (反馈) and specially-designed learning plans. For example, when your teacher asks you to write a report about Wuhan, DeepSeek’s AI can help you find some useful information about this city in just a few seconds. DeepSeek’s AI can also help in healthcare by examining patients faster or in finance to help predict the market trends, thus enabling us to make the right decisions. All the things above show how this technology solves the real-world problems effectively. ▲ . First, over-reliance on this AI might reduce deep thinking ability, as students may depend on technology too much instead of solving problems independently. If the situation continues like this, our creativity and imagination will be greatly influenced. Besides, privacy (隐私) is another concern, because this AI system requires a lot of data and information, which could be misused if they are not properly protected. For example, in February 2025, DeepSeek was hit by a cyber-attack. The attackers stole a lot of users’ information. Additionally, this AI technology can be expensive, making it difficult for everyone to afford it, which may cause inequality. DeepSeek’s AI offers many benefits, such as improving education and solving complex problems. However, as we all know, “Every coin has double sides”, it also has its drawbacks, including potential (潜在的) over-reliance, privacy risks, and high costs. As students, it’s important to use such technology wisely and stay aware of its limitations. Balancing its advantages and disadvantages can help us make the most of AI in the future. 1．According to the passage, in which ways, does DeepSeek’s AI help solve the real-world problems effectively? ① in treating the patient faster     ② in predicting the market trends    ③ in giving students quick feedback ④ in offering study materials        ⑤ in doing homework for students A．①②③ B．②③⑤ C．②③④ D．①②④ 2．Which sentence can be put into ▲ ? A．DeepSeek’s AI can also influence our thinking ability B．The efficiency of DeepSeek’s AI really helps us a lot C．With DeepSeek’s AI, our life will be in a mess D．However, there are still downsides of DeepSeek’s AI 3．Why is “cyber-attack” mentioned in paragraph 3? A．To show that DeepSeek’s AI is popular among people. B．To show that DeepSeek’s AI can always bring us troubles. C．To show that DeepSeek’s AI can’t be protected properly. D．To show that DeepSeek’s AI might put our privacy at risk. 4．According to the passage, which of the following about DeepSeek’s AI is true? A．It can help identify students’ strong and weak points. B．It can offer us useful information in a few hours. C．It is affordable for everyone of us. D．Relying on it will reduce deep thinking ability. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．D 4．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了中国科技公司DeepSeek的AI技术及其在教育、医疗和金融等领域的应用，并探讨了其带来的好处和潜在问题。文章强调了合理使用AI技术的重要性，并提醒人们注意其局限性。 1．细节理解题。根据“In education, DeepSeek’s AI can make learning more personalized for students by identifying strengths and weaknesses, providing study materials, and helping improve efficiency (效率).”、“One major benefit is its ability to analyze (分析) large amounts of data quickly and accurately, which means students can receive timely feedback (反馈) ...”以及“DeepSeek’s AI can also help in healthcare by examining patients faster or in finance to help predict the market trends ...”可知，DeepSeek可以提供学习材料、给学生快速反馈及预测市场趋势，所以②③④正确。故选C。 2．推理判断题。根据“First, over-reliance on this AI might reduce deep thinking ability ...”、“Besides, privacy (隐私) is another concern ...”以及“Additionally, this AI technology can be expensive ...”可知，这一段主要讨论了DeepSeek AI的缺点，因此选项D“然而，深度求索的人工智能仍有缺点”，符合语境。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据“Besides, privacy (隐私) is another concern, because this AI system requires a lot of data and information, which could be misused if they are not properly protected.”可知，提到网络攻击是为了说明DeepSeek的AI可能会使我们的隐私面临风险。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据“In education, DeepSeek’s AI can make learning more personalized for students by identifying strengths and weaknesses ...”可知，该AI能识别学生的优势和弱点，A项表述正确；根据“...

Though simple, these tools are highly distinctive (独特的)—they mainly use ink, brushes and rice paper. 2 Instead, black and white tones are often used to convey the beauty of nature and life, as well as their profound feelings about the world. Chinese painting has a history of thousands of years. 3 Its earliest forms appeared in the New Stone Age more than 6,000 years ago. Later, the first real paintings on silk began in the Warring States Period. There are two main types of Chinese painting. 4 One focuses on flowers and birds, and the other on landscapes (风景).

It has a history of over 1,000 years in China. In early Tang Dynasty, it was introduced to Japan and Korea, so it was called the “Tang Umbrella”. Later oil paper umbrellas were introduced to other Asian countries, such as Vietnam, Thailand and Laos, and each had its own style. However, as steel-ribbed umbrellas appeared in the last century, the hand-made oil paper umbrellas became less used in daily life. Yuhang in Hangzhou is known for making oil paper umbrellas for more than 230 years. They are mainly made of skin paper, bamboo and Tung oil. They need to take more than 70 steps to make, including making bamboo ribs, pasting paper and painting patterns (图案). It takes at least a week to make such an umbrella. In 2008, these umbrellas were added to Intangible Cultural Heritage List of China. A young man called Liu Weixue learned the traditional art of making Yuhang oil paper umbrellas from his grandfather. “I want to bring the art to life,” Liu said. He improved the umbrellas to win the hearts of young people. As the traditional paper was easy to break, he started to use a kind of thicker paper. In a test, his umbrellas were opened and closed for 1,000 times without breaking. He used a kind of lighter bamboo to make the umbrellas weigh less. Now Liu hopes the art can be passed on. He goes to local schools to teach students. He also goes to events in different places to introduce the art. 阅读下面5个问题，每题答案不超过10个词。 1．How many Asian countries were Chinese oil paper umbrellas introduced to? 2．Which place in China is known for making oil paper umbrellas? 3．How long does it take to make an oil paper umbrella? 4．Why did Liu Weixue learn this traditional art? 5．What do you think of Liu Weixue? 【答案】1．Five. 2．Yuhang in Hangzhou. 3．At least a week. 4．To bring the art to life. 5． He is creative and responsible. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了中国传统手工艺品油纸伞的历史、制作工艺以及传承人刘伟学对其的创新与推广。 【详解】1．根据文章第1段“In early Tang Dynasty, it was introduced to Japan and Korea...

Here, take a look at the changes of money in China. Cowrie shells (贝壳) were used as money in the Shang Dynasty. Cowrie shells are a kind of shells, and it can be seen in the word—Bèi, which means things of great value. Cowrie shells continued to be used in some south-western areas up to the Ming Dynasty. Coins can date back to the Western Zhou Dynasty when China started using metal coins. The Chinese provided the technology for making the coins. People used different shapes of coins, like a shell, a knife, or a round thing. Then the Qin Dynasty Emperor, Shihuangdi, asked people to use the money in the same shape. The Chinese silver money was in the shape of a boat or shoe. Compared with coins, very few were produced, and they were made by hand. It appeared in the Spring-Autumn Warring States Period and the use increased during the Song Dynasty. Silver and gold were long considered of similar value in China. Chinese paper money came into use in the Tang Dynasty. People found they didn’t have difficulty carrying and using it anymore. Marco Polo wrote about the use of paper money in his book, which led to the use of paper money in Europe. Nowadays, we use Renminbi, which was first used in December 1948.

Common topics include setting the pocket money, learning to save, and deciding on expensive purchases. The goal of most parents is to teach their kids how to manage money wisely. The goal of most kids is getting money to spend. How can families balance these goals? “All parents hope they’ll raise a money-savvy (善于理财的) kid, who’ll grow up to be an adult wise in their money use, “says financial (金融的) planner Peg Eddy. The key is letting kids learn by having a little money of their own. The Tidler family in Denver found the best way to teach about money was to let their kids earn some. Their son, Ryan has made $7,800 by helping with his parents’ garden. Besides, he bought a bike and a wonderful sound system. And he is going to buy a car next year. Ryan has come to see the value in making his own money even when other kids are given money by their parents. Learn Now, Save Later Money skills are an important part of becoming a successful adult. David Brady, another financial planner, says, “Young people today will have much more responsibility for their financial future than their parents or grandparents.” Experts say, knowing how to manage money is the best way for kids to get what they really want. That means long- term planning and saving for big expenses like college or a car. It also means thinking of others, by making donations to charity. Brady does remind kids. “They shouldn’t be thinking about money all the time,” he says. However, they should understand basic rules for earning, saving and investing (投资). That knowledge is greatly needed. Over the past years, the average credit card debt of Americans ages 18 to 24 doubled, to nearly $3,000. Among high school students, four out of five have never taken a personal finance class. Talking About It Many kids want to learn how to manage their money. But parents think only about what kids shouldn’t do. They argue that kids are young and inexperienced, they may easily get in debt if they manage their own money. Giselle Lopez, 17, of New York City, learned the hard way. She was over $2,000 in debt on her first credit card. Her parents refused to pay, so Giselle got a job. Then she paid the debt off slowly herself. “Now every time I use it, I know that it comes from my own pocket,” Giselle says. “That gives me a sense of responsibility for my actions.” Different kids will have different styles when it comes to money. Teaching them how to use money doesn’t have to mean setting strict rules. When children like Ryan and Giselle have their own money to consider, they can learn to set those rules themselves. 1．What is the main goal of most parents when it comes to their kids and money? 2．According to financial planner Peg Eddy, what is the key to raising a money-savvy kid? 3．How did Ryan from the Tidler family earn his money? 4．What does David Brady say about young people’s responsibility for their financial future? 5．Why did Giselle Lopez get a job? 6．After finally paying off  her credit card debt, how would Giselle plan her future spending to avoid falling into debt again? (no more than 30 words) 【答案】1．The main goal is to teach their kids how to manage money wisely. 2．The key is letting kids learn by having a little money of their own. 3．He earned money by helping with his parents’ garden. 4．Young people will have much more responsibility than their parents or grandparents. 5．Because she was in credit card debt and her parents refused to pay for her. 6．After clearing her debt, Giselle would allocate income first to an emergency fund, then manage all other spending with a strict budget. 【导语】本文主要探讨了家长如何帮助孩子学会理财，并通过多个案例说明了让孩子拥有和管理自己的钱的重要性。 【详解】1．第一段“The goal of most parents is to teach their kids how to manage money wisely”直接说明了大多数家长的主要目标是教孩子明智地管理钱，这是原文中的信息，直接提取。 2．第二段金融规划师Peg Eddy说“The key is letting kids learn by having a little money of their own”直接说明了培养善于理财的孩子的关键是让孩子拥有一些自己的钱去学习，这是原文中的信息，直接提取。 3．第三段“Their son, Ryan has made $7,800 by helping with his parents’ garden”直接说明了Ryan通过帮父母打理花园赚钱，这是原文中的信息，直接提取。 4．第四段David Brady说“Young people today will have much more responsibility for their financial future than their parents or grandparents”直接说明了年轻人对自己的财务未来会比父母或祖父母承担更多责任，这是原文中的信息，直接提取。 5．第七段“Her parents refused to pay, so Giselle got a job”直接说明了Giselle因为父母拒绝替她还债而去工作，这是原文中的因果信息，直接提取。 6．本题是开放性试题，答案不唯一。可结合文中理财建议进行合理规划，言之成理即可。 1 / 7 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题01 Units 4~5（语篇综合练） （建议用时：40分钟） 完形填空A 介绍了来自秘鲁的Jose Adolfo Quisocola成功地建立了自己的“生态银行”的故事。 完形填空B 讲述了定西陇西县发生地震后，在外求学的大学生张灵雪等人国庆假期返乡，在受灾村庄参与志愿救援 完形填空C 介绍了 20 世纪著名中国艺术家张大千的生平经历、艺术风格、创作理念以及他对中国艺术做出的不可磨灭的贡献。 完形填空D 讲述作者去年夏天学习中国水墨画的经历。虽过程艰难，但在老师鼓励下坚持练习，最终获奖并收获了耐心与细心。 阅读理解A 讲述唐代诗人孟郊一生酷爱诗歌、家境贫寒，多次参加科举考试，四十六岁成功及第后骑马畅游长安写下诗句，由此衍生成语“春风得意”的故事。 阅读理解B 讲述了古代中国一位皇帝因爱妃去世而悲痛欲绝，一位官员受孩子们玩偶游戏的启发，利用木偶、蜡烛和幕布发明了皮影戏（影子戏），以此慰藉皇帝，最终诞生了皮影戏这一艺术形式的故事。 阅读理解C 介绍了中国传统手扇的悠久历史、丰富多样的形状与制作材料，详细探讨了团扇和折扇的文化内涵以及它们在古代男女日常生活和艺术表现中的重要作用。 阅读理解D 介绍了中国科技公司DeepSeek的AI技术及其在教育、医疗和金融等领域的应用，并探讨了其带来的好处和潜在问题。文章强调了合理使用AI技术的重要性，并提醒人们注意其局限性。 阅读还原A 主要介绍了中国传统艺术——剪纸的历史、制作方法以及其文化意义。 阅读还原B 介绍了中国画是中国独特的传统艺术，分别从绘画工具、色彩特点、发展历史、主要类型和文化地位等方面展开说明。 任务型阅读A 主要介绍了中国传统手工艺品油纸伞的历史、制作工艺以及传承人刘伟学对其的创新与推广。 任务型阅读B 讲述了年轻博主江寻千被打铁花这项传统技艺打动，克服危险与困难拜师苦练，成为第一位表演打铁花的女性，并鼓励大家大胆尝试新事物。 任务型阅读C 介绍了中国传统山水画的文化价值、创作来源、传播方式以及掌握这一艺术形式所需的努力。 任务型阅读D 介绍了中国货币的发展历程，从商代的贝币、西周的金属货币、春秋战国时期的银两，到唐代的纸币和现代的人民币。 任务型阅读E 主要探讨了家长如何帮助孩子学会理财，并通过多个案例说明了让孩子拥有和管理自己的钱的重要性。 Passage1 （22-23九年级上·福建泉州·期末）Most 7-year-old kids just do their homework and play with their friends.

Passage7 （25-26九年级上·辽宁丹东·期中）You may think you cannot live through summer without electric fans. But in ancient China, hand fans were almost the only ones to help people keep cool. There are many types of hand fans with different uses. Chinese people started to use hand fans over two thousand years ago. The fans came in different shapes, such as round and square. They were also made of all kinds of materials. The ancient round fans have different shapes which are made according to their own preferences. Palm (棕榈) leaf fans were not expensive and not difficult to make even most people can have. Feather fans once could be used only by a few people who had wealth and had power. Sandalwood fans could send out a sweet smell that let people like them. Later, hand fans became far more than just something that could cool you down. They developed into artworks in which tuanshan (round fans) and zheshan (folded fans) were the most common. In the shape of a full moon, tuanshan were usually made of silk. They had beautiful birds and flowers on them. Women, especially those in the imperial palace, liked using them. Meanwhile, men, especially the poets, used zheshan. The poets liked them because zheshan was usually made of paper and they could paint and write poems on them. It was a way for them to demonstrate their ability in literature painting and handwriting. Almost anything can be painted on zheshan. A small fan can show its unique charm in the hand and has played an important role in Chinese traditional art for thousands of years. Today Chinese people still use these fans. Fans come in many shapes and materials including plastic, cloth and so on. According to different usage, we invent electric fans which can be carried around and are more convenient to use. 1．Why does the author mention electric fans at the start?

Passage8 （25-26九年级上·江苏南京·阶段检测）Recently, a Chinese technology company called DeepSeek has caught global attention. It mainly focuses on artificial intelligence (AI) as well as big data and aims to solve problems in areas like education, healthcare, and finance (财政). The DeepSeek’s AI is designed to make life easier and more productive, but we still need to treat it in a reasonable way. What can DeepSeek’s AI bring to us? In education, DeepSeek’s AI can make learning more personalized for students by identifying strengths and weaknesses, providing study materials, and helping improve efficiency (效率). One major benefit is its ability to analyze (分析) large amounts of data quickly and accurately, which means students can receive timely feedback (反馈) and specially-designed learning plans. For example, when your teacher asks you to write a report about Wuhan, DeepSeek’s AI can help you find some useful information about this city in just a few seconds. DeepSeek’s AI can also help in healthcare by examining patients faster or in finance to help predict the market trends, thus enabling us to make the right decisions. All the things above show how this technology solves the real-world problems effectively. ▲ . First, over-reliance on this AI might reduce deep thinking ability, as students may depend on technology too much instead of solving problems independently. If the situation continues like this, our creativity and imagination will be greatly influenced. Besides, privacy (隐私) is another concern, because this AI system requires a lot of data and information, which could be misused if they are not properly protected. For example, in February 2025, DeepSeek was hit by a cyber-attack. The attackers stole a lot of users’ information. Additionally, this AI technology can be expensive, making it difficult for everyone to afford it, which may cause inequality. DeepSeek’s AI offers many benefits, such as improving education and solving complex problems. However, as we all know, “Every coin has double sides”, it also has its drawbacks, including potential (潜在的) over-reliance, privacy risks, and high costs. As students, it’s important to use such technology wisely and stay aware of its limitations. Balancing its advantages and disadvantages can help us make the most of AI in the future. 1．According to the passage, in which ways, does DeepSeek’s AI help solve the real-world problems effectively? ① in treating the patient faster     ② in predicting the market trends    ③ in giving students quick feedback ④ in offering study materials        ⑤ in doing homework for students A．①②③ B．②③⑤ C．②③④ D．①②④ 2．Which sentence can be put into ▲ ? A．DeepSeek’s AI can also influence our thinking ability B．The efficiency of DeepSeek’s AI really helps us a lot C．With DeepSeek’s AI, our life will be in a mess D．However, there are still downsides of DeepSeek’s AI 3．Why is “cyber-attack” mentioned in paragraph 3? A．To show that DeepSeek’s AI is popular among people. B．To show that DeepSeek’s AI can always bring us troubles. C．To show that DeepSeek’s AI can’t be protected properly. D．To show that DeepSeek’s AI might put our privacy at risk. 4．According to the passage, which of the following about DeepSeek’s AI is true? A．It can help identify students’ strong and weak points.

Passage11 （25-26九年级上·江苏无锡·阶段检测）阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题 (每题答案不超过10个词) 。 The oil paper umbrella is a traditional Chinese handcraft (手工艺品). It has a history of over 1,000 years in China. In early Tang Dynasty, it was introduced to Japan and Korea, so it was called the “Tang Umbrella”. Later oil paper umbrellas were introduced to other Asian countries, such as Vietnam, Thailand and Laos, and each had its own style. However, as steel-ribbed umbrellas appeared in the last century, the hand-made oil paper umbrellas became less used in daily life. Yuhang in Hangzhou is known for making oil paper umbrellas for more than 230 years. They are mainly made of skin paper, bamboo and Tung oil. They need to take more than 70 steps to make, including making bamboo ribs, pasting paper and painting patterns (图案). It takes at least a week to make such an umbrella. In 2008, these umbrellas were added to Intangible Cultural Heritage List of China. A young man called Liu Weixue learned the traditional art of making Yuhang oil paper umbrellas from his grandfather. “I want to bring the art to life,” Liu said. He improved the umbrellas to win the hearts of young people. As the traditional paper was easy to break, he started to use a kind of thicker paper. In a test, his umbrellas were opened and closed for 1,000 times without breaking. He used a kind of lighter bamboo to make the umbrellas weigh less. Now Liu hopes the art can be passed on. He goes to local schools to teach students. He also goes to events in different places to introduce the art. 阅读下面5个问题，每题答案不超过10个词。 1．How many Asian countries were Chinese oil paper umbrellas introduced to? 2．Which place in China is known for making oil paper umbrellas? 3．How long does it take to make an oil paper umbrella? 4．Why did Liu Weixue learn this traditional art? 5．What do you think of Liu Weixue?

To many people’s surprise, the main character of the video is a young woman. She is Jiang Xunqian. Jiang Xunqian is a famous blogger (博主). She was interested in the traditional art when she was young. When she saw striking iron flowers three years ago, she was touched and decided to learn it. Later, she found Yang Jianjun, an inheritor (传承人) of the art. Even though Yang said it was too dangerous for a girl, Jiang Xunqian made up her mind. Later, Yang agreed to teach her. Jiang Xunqian spent months practising, from morning to night. Finally, she became the first woman to perform striking iron flowers. “Though it was difficult, I made it. For those who want to try something new, I would say ‘Just do it’. Don’t think too much.

It carries painters’ emotions, understanding of nature and life. Many famous painters created masterpieces during their lifetime. They kept improving their painting techniques through careful observation of nature. Some great works are based on real natural scenery. When we look closely at these paintings, we can feel the peace of mountains and rivers. Today, museums and modern media help promote these ancient art works to the whole world.

Passage14 （24-25九年级下·福建龙岩·阶段检测）China has a very long tradition of using coins and it was the first country to introduce paper money. Here, take a look at the changes of money in China. Cowrie shells (贝壳) were used as money in the Shang Dynasty. Cowrie shells are a kind of shells, and it can be seen in the word—Bèi, which means things of great value. Cowrie shells continued to be used in some south-western areas up to the Ming Dynasty. Coins can date back to the Western Zhou Dynasty when China started using metal coins. The Chinese provided the technology for making the coins. People used different shapes of coins, like a shell, a knife, or a round thing. Then the Qin Dynasty Emperor, Shihuangdi, asked people to use the money in the same shape. The Chinese silver money was in the shape of a boat or shoe. Compared with coins, very few were produced, and they were made by hand. It appeared in the Spring-Autumn Warring States Period and the use increased during the Song Dynasty. Silver and gold were long considered of similar value in China. Chinese paper money came into use in the Tang Dynasty. People found they didn’t have difficulty carrying and using it anymore. Marco Polo wrote about the use of paper money in his book, which led to the use of paper money in Europe. Nowadays, we use Renminbi, which was first used in December 1948. As China became one of the world’s centers of finance (金融) and trade in the early 21st century, Renminbi was growing to be a kind of money used worldwide. 1．What does Bèi mean? 2．From which dynasty did China start using metal coins? 3．What does Chinese silver money look like? 4．When was the Renminbi first used? 5．Which kind of money do you like best? Why? Passage15 Parents and children often face the challenges of money. Common topics include setting the pocket money, learning to save, and deciding on expensive purchases. The goal of most parents is to teach their kids how to manage money wisely. The goal of most kids is getting money to spend. How can families balance these goals? “All parents hope they’ll raise a money-savvy (善于理财的) kid, who’ll grow up to be an adult wise in their money use, “says financial (金融的) planner Peg Eddy. The key is letting kids learn by having a little money of their own. The Tidler family in Denver found the best way to teach about money was to let their kids earn some. Their son, Ryan has made $7,800 by helping with his parents’ garden. Besides, he bought a bike and a wonderful sound system. And he is going to buy a car next year. Ryan has come to see the value in making his own money even when other kids are given money by their parents. Learn Now, Save Later Money skills are an important part of becoming a successful adult. David Brady, another financial planner, says, “Young people today will have much more responsibility for their financial future than their parents or grandparents.” Experts say, knowing how to manage money is the best way for kids to get what they really want. That means long- term planning and saving for big expenses like college or a car. It also means thinking of others, by making donations to charity. Brady does remind kids. “They shouldn’t be thinking about money all the time,” he says. However, they should understand basic rules for earning, saving and investing (投资). That knowledge is greatly needed. Over the past years, the average credit card debt of Americans ages 18 to 24 doubled, to nearly $3,000. Among high school students, four out of five have never taken a personal finance class. Talking About It Many kids want to learn how to manage their money. But parents think only about what kids shouldn’t do. They argue that kids are young and inexperienced, they may easily get in debt if they manage their own money. Giselle Lopez, 17, of New York City, learned the hard way. She was over $2,000 in debt on her first credit card. Her parents refused to pay, so Giselle got a job. Then she paid the debt off slowly herself. “Now every time I use it, I know that it comes from my own pocket,” Giselle says. “That gives me a sense of responsibility for my actions.” Different kids will have different styles when it comes to money. Teaching them how to use money doesn’t have to mean setting strict rules. When children like Ryan and Giselle have their own money to consider, they can learn to set those rules themselves. 1．What is the main goal of most parents when it comes to their kids and money? 2．According to financial planner Peg Eddy, what is the key to raising a money-savvy kid? 3．How did Ryan from the Tidler family earn his money? 4．What does David Brady say about young people’s responsibility for their financial future? 5．Why did Giselle Lopez get a job? 6．After finally paying off  her credit card debt, how would Giselle plan her future spending to avoid falling into debt again?
