A
It was a dark and stormy night. I was about to go to bed when I heard a tapping sound on my window. “Whos there?” I shouted. Suddenly there was a flash of lighting; I saw a face at the window. It looked like an alien that I have seen on the television show.
I felt very scared. I ran to my bed and pulled my blanket(毛毯)over my head. I started to shout for my parents but there was no reply. Then I remembered that they were at a dress party.
After a while my head showed up out of my blanket but it was too dark to see anything. Then I heard footsteps. They were getting louder and louder. It was dark but I knew the way to drawer where I kept my camera. I ran there and took out my camera and started to take pictures in the direction of the window. Soon the footsteps died off, maybe because of my taking picture.
The grandfather clock struck… It was 12 midnight. I went back to my bed and tried to sleep. But I couldnt sleep. I felt too frightened. I sat up; my mind was full of thoughts. Time passed, one oclock, two oclock... Finally, I fell asleep.
I woke up only after eight and decided to find out the truth. I found some footprints outside my bedroom window. I measured them with a tape(卷尺)and found them to be exactly the same size as my fathers shoes. The footprints ended at the door of my house. I then went to town to get the film developed(冲洗胶片). But when I saw the photos, they were black and I could hardly see anything. Then I remembered that I did not use the flash.
When I reached home, I told my father the whole matter and he started to laugh. I also started laughing when he told me that he had dressed up as an alien for the party.

Making friends might seem to come easy for some persons, but its maybe very hard for most persons. No matter how many friends you might already have, it is always a good idea to make new friends.
Being shy keeps a lot of people from making friends. Also, making friends might need a person to step outside of their comfortable places, which are hard for a lot of people, whether they are shy or not. However, overcoming the shyness to step out of your box is an important step in making friends.
There are lots of ways to meet new friends. First of all, remember that a good friendship is based on interests, so if you are ready to make friends, start to join clubs or go places where you have interest. For instance, if you like to play sports, join a sports team or after school sports club. If you have interests in music or writing, join clubs or organizations that you are interested in. When you see someone in a place like that, and you think that they look nice, it is always a good idea to go up to them and introduce yourself and ask interesting questions so that you can start a conversation. Dont put too much pressure on yourself, and remember that friendships dont always happen quickly.
Some friendships happen right away, and youll be able to tell if someone will be a great friend right after you meet them. Some friendships take a long time to develop. Anyway, the friends that you meet are going to be worth it. If a friendship develops quickly, it doesnt mean that it is extra valuable, and if a friendship takes a long time to develop, it doesnt mean that it isnt worth it because its too hard.
Making friends might be a bit difficult for you, and the friends you will make may not look anything like you. However, even though it might be scary to start conversations, you are worth doing it. All friendships start with a single hello.

Money is accepted by people for the exchange of goods, services, or resources. Every country has its own system of coins and paper money.
In the beginning, people exchanged an object or service for another object or service, a bag of rice for a bag of beans. However, what if you couldnt agree what something was worth in exchange or you didnt want what the other person had. To solve that problem, humans developed what is called commodity money(商品货币). A commodity is a basic item used by almost everyone. In the past, salt, tea, tobacco, cattle and seeds were commodities and were once used as money. However, using commodities as money had other problems. Carrying bags of salt and other commodities was hard, and commodities were difficult to store.
Metals objects were introduced as money around 5000 BC. By 700 BC, the Lydians became the first in the Western world to make coins. Countries were soon minting their own coins with specific values. Metal was used because it was useful, easy to work with and could be recycled. Since coins were given a certain value, it became easier to compare the cost of items people wanted. Some of the earliest known paper money dates back to China, where the issue(发行)of paper money became common from about AD 960.
根据材料内容完成以下小题。
61. How did people exchange in the
beginning?
62. Why did humans developed commodity money?
63. Where was the paper money used?
