For thousands of years, people in different parts of the world have worn very different types of clothing. There are four big reasons for this.
One reason might be religion. In many Moslem countries, women must wear veils (面纱) to hide their faces. The veils must be worn in public. Veils are part of the Moslem religion.
The second reason is that different materials are used in different countries. For instance, in France the materials used in clothing may be cotton, silk, wool, or many other man-made materials. Most people in China wear cotton.
The ways clothes are made are also very different. This is another reason why people dress differently. Western countries rely on machines to make most of their clothing. Someone living in India can use only hand power to make the clothing he needs.
Worldwide differences in customs also lead to differences in clothing. A Mexican farmer wears a straw hat with a brim (帽沿) up. In China, a farmer wears a straw hat with a brim down. Both hats are used to protect the farmers from the sun. Some of these customs have come down through thousands of years.

Most of the money today is made of metal or paper. But people used to use all kinds of things as money. One of the first kinds of money was shells.
Shells were not the only things used as money. In China, cloth and 'knives were used. In the Philippine Islands, rice was used as money. In some parts of Africa, cattle were one of the earliest kinds of money. Other animals were used as money, too.
The first metal coins were made in China. They were round and had a square hole in the center. People strung them together and carried them from place to place.
Different countries have used different metals and designs for their money. The first coins in England were made of tin. Sweden and Russia used copper to make their money. Later, other countries began to make coins of gold and silver.
But even gold and silver were inconvenient if you had to buy something expensive. Again the Chinese thought of a way to improve money. They began to use paper money. (80)The first paper money looked more like a note from one person to another than paper money used today.
Money has had an interesting history from the days of shell money until today.
Which of the following can be cited as an example of the use of money in exchange for services?
A.To sell a bicycle for $ 20.
B.To get some money for old books at a garage sale.

An increasingly fast pace of life makes it difficult for people to spend time playing sports. " I know exercise is good for your health, " a young lady said, " But after a busy work week, the only thing I want to do is watching TV and going to sleep. " That attitude may explain the results of a recent nationwide study, which suggested 15 percent of urban adults in China have heart problems.
Local researchers found that 31. 2 percent of elderly respondents were getting enough exercise, but less than 9 percent of youngsters and the middle-aged got enough physical activity.
Elderly people understand the importance of protecting their health. The young people, however, are busy working and use this as an excuse to avoid exercise. In fact, physical exercise doesn't require much time, money or a special gymnasium. People can make use of any time and any place at their convenience to take part in sports. Walking quickly, cycling, climbing the stairs and dancing are all helpful methods to improve one's health.
The benefits of adding a little more activity to your life are priceless. " There is no need to be an athlete (运动员) , however, "a local doctor said. People should walk for 30 minutes a day and take part in some other physical activities three to five times a week. He warns, however, that people in poor physical shape should start slowly, and build up over time.
