  We usually use two kinds of money . One kind is money made of paper and the other kind is money made of m    (1) . But in the past people used many things i    (2) of money . Some countries used salt , tea or stones （石頭）. Other countries even used some animals . Today people in some p    (3) in the world still do not use paper money all the time .

    On the island of Yap , people use the h    (4) money in the world —Yap stones . These are round , white stones w    (5) a hole in the middle . The Yap stones do not c    (6) from this island . The Yap men have to go to the islands over 600 kilometres away to get t    (7) .

  Here’s a part of an e-mail answer from Joe giving some advice to his son in college . “When I was young , I often met t    (1) about what to do and what not to do . My grandmother told me not to worry about those things . I o    (2) did them once a year or once a lifetime . I    (3) , I should try to do well those things , and I do them every day . For example , I need to eat every day , so I should learn how to c    (4) . I need to talk to o    (5) every day , so I should learn how to work with d    (6) people and know how to s    (7) well . I walk every day , so my s    (8) should be all right and comfortable （舒服） . Every night I sleep , so my bed should let me have a good rest . Taking care of the e    (9) things m    (10) that you do a better job of the one in a lifetime things as well .”

   There are some people who just can’t make up their m    (1) by themselves . They often ask the advice of their friends and then do the opposite （相反） of what their friends have said .

    My brother , Mike , is such a person . He can never decide what to do and always asks my

i    (2) . I try to help him as well as I can . But he never t    (3) my advice . Yesterday I answered his questions in a different way . “Look , ” he said , s    (4) me a letter . “What do you think I should do ?”

    The letter was an o    (5) of a job . It seemed to be a good chance for a young doctor . Mike would be s    (6)to Africa to work . The job would pay very well , and he would be able to travel and visit many i    (7) places .

    “What do you think , Peter ?” he asked . “Should I go ? If I take the job , I’ll have to stay longer . But it will be a wonderful time for me , what should I do ?”

    “Don’t go .” I told him . “You would be u    (8) .”

    “Don’t go ?” he looked very surprised at my answer .

    As you’ve probably g    (9) , Mike took the offer . I don’t know if he found that I r    (10) wanted him to take the job .

   Last week Bruce wrote to Dick , telling him that he wasn’t enjoying the n    (1) school in Richmond at all . As all the o    (2) students were from the same junior middle school , they

g    (3) on well with each other . Bruce tried his best to be friendly , but they didn’t . I    (4) , they made fun of （取笑） him , for he was the s    (5) in the class . He had no idea about what to do . So Bruce n    (6) some help from his best friend , Dick .

    Now , in his l    (7) back to Bruce , Dick gave him two pieces of advice （建議）：First of all , d    (8) worry about being short . And the s    (9) , think about l    (10) for a good friend .

   Here’s story about Ming’s life on the waters . Ming has lived all his life on a wide r    (1) in China . His home is a large house-boat with a roof , one of hundreds that move up and down . In about six years he has not once been on l    (2) , but he is never lonely . He is a strong swimmer . In fact （實(shí)際上） , he could swim before he could walk . When he wants to play with his f    (3) , he just swims across to their boats or asks them to v    (4) him .

    Ming’s father is a fisherman but he never u    (5) a line or a net （網(wǎng)） . Great black birds called cormorants do the fishing for him . Rings （圈） have been put around the birds’ n    (6) so that they cannot eat the fish they catch . They have been taught to b    (7) the fish to people . And then people reward （獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)） them with a fine big fish as soon as their work is f    (8) . Ming loves watching the cormorants , but better still he likes going s    (9) with his mother . The shops , of course , are boats very like his o    (10) .

    Can animals be made to work for people ? Some scientists think that one day animals may be trained （訓(xùn)練） to do a number of simple jobs i     (1) of people . They say that at a circus （雜技場(chǎng)）， for example , we may see elephants , monkeys , dogs and other animals doing q     (2) skillful （熟練的） things . Perhaps you have seen them on the television or in a film . If you watch closely , you may find that the trainer （馴獸員） always g     (3) the animal some sugar

o    (4) a piece of fruit as a reward （報(bào)酬） . The scientists say that many d    (5) animals may be trained to do a lot of simple things if they know they will get a reward f    (6) doing that .

    Of course , as we know , dogs can be trained to look after a house  , and soldiers in both old and modern t     (7) have u    (8) geese to give warning （警報(bào)） by m    (9) a lot of noise when an enemy comes near . And also it may be possible to train animals to work in families or
