25、ges of mans development he had no more need of money than animals. He was content with very simple forms of shelter, made his own rough tools and weapons and could provide food and clothing for himself and his family from natural materials around him. As he became more civilized, however, he began t
26、o want better shelter, more efficient tools and weapons, and more comfortable and more lasting clothing than could be provided by his own neighborhood or by the work of his own unskilled hands. For these things he had to turn to the skilled people Such as smiths, leather workers or carpenters who we
27、re springing up everywhere. It was then that the question of payment arose.At first he got what he wanted by a simple process of exchange. The smith who had not the time to look after land or cattle was glad to take meat or grain from the farmer in exchange for an axe or a plough. But as more and mo
28、re goods which had no fixed exchange value came on the market, exchange became too complicated to be satisfactory. Another problem arose when those who made things wanted to get stocks of wood or leather, or iron, but had nothing to offer in exchange until their finished goods were ready.Thus the di
29、fficulties of exchange led by degrees to the invention of money. In some countries, easily handled things like seeds or shells were given a certain value and the farmers, instead of paying the smith for a new axe by giving him some meat or grain, gave him so many shells. If the smith had any shells
30、left when he had bought his food, he could get stocks of the raw materials of his trade. In some countries quite large things such as cows or camels or even big flat stones were used for trade. Later, pieces of metal, bearing values according to the rarity of the metal and the size of the pieces, or
31、 coins were used. Money as we know it had arrived.（分数：10.00）(1).Early men didnt have to use money because _.（分数：2.00）A.they had simple forms of shelterB.they had to provide food and clothing for themselvesC.they had no enough natural resources around themD.they could meet basic needs through their o

35、 women. During the twentieth century there has been a remarkable shortening of the time of a womans life spent in caring for children. A woman marrying at the end of the nineteenth century would probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children, of whom f
36、our or five lived till they were five years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usu
37、ally a womans youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and can be expected to live another thirty-five years and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty. Even while she has the care of children, her work is lightened by modem living conditions.This important change in wome
38、ns life-pattern has only recently begun to have its full effect on womens economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left schools at the first chance, and most of them took a full-time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school-
39、leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women usually marry younger, more married women stay at least until shortly before their first child is born. Very many more afterwards return to full or part-time work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marria
40、ge, with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life, and with the both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money, and running the home, according to file abilities and interests of each of them.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the passage, aroun
41、d the year 1900 most women married _.（分数：2.00）A.at about twenty-fiveB.in their early fiftiesC.as soon as possible after they were fifteenD.at any age from fifteen to forty-five(2).We are told that in a common family around the 1900 _.（分数：2.00）A.about half of the children died before they were fiveB.
42、seven or eight children lived to be more than fiveC.the youngest child would be fifteenD.four or five children died when they were five(3).When she was over fifty, the late nineteenth-century mother _.（分数：2.00）A.would be healthy enough to take up paid jobsB.was usually expected to die fairly soonC.w
43、ould expect to work until she diedD.was unlikely to find a job even if she wanted one(4).According to the passage, the women of today usually _.（分数：2.00）A.marry instead of getting paid workB.marry before they are twenty-fiveC.have more children under fifteenD.have too few children(5).Which of the fo
44、llowing statements is NOT true?（分数：2.00）A.Even a few years ago the girls would leave work at once when they married.B.Today the school-leaving age is sixteen.C.Today more married women leave work long before their first child is born.D.Very many more women today return to full or part-time work afte

Accountants and bank tellers are at school learning a new business skill.“Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey,“ they chant together, pulling their mouths into a grin at the end of each word.Theyre practising smiling. Instructors say its t
46、he hardest part of the curriculum at Korean Air Service Academy, a school that aims to make South Korean business more globally competitive by teaching “international manners.“South Koreans have difficulty in smiling,“ said Y. D. Lee, the academys general manager. “Our ancestors had the philosophy t
47、hat the serious person stern or strict is better than the smiling one. Thats why our students are chanting.“The academy not only teaches service with a smile, but also proper greetings, Korean bowing, posture, the importance of a polite refusal and so on.And its not just for business.Officials at th
48、e academy say their fastest-growing group of students comes from the government. Thats partly because businesses have been tightening their belts during the economic crisis of the past two years and partly because citizens are demanding better treatment from the government.Tax collectors, prosecutor
49、s and others are being sent to school to polish their service manners. Then, citizens who have to show deference to rulers come to the school.“Its a symbol of a democratic conscience for a government official to express kindness and sincerity,“ said H. D. Cho, assistant general manager at the Korean Air School.Since the airline started the academy in late 1992, its competitor, Asiana Airlines, also started a course. Asiana Airlines travels the country to train people at their workplaces.Prices and leng
