2. 货币的演变—— The Story of Money

3. Long, long ago, people didn’t go to an office or a factory to make money. In some places, people found their money on the ground. The money was large, and round. It looked just like what it was—a stone! Because it was hard to find these stones, they were valuable. In some places,people found theirmoney along the seashore—red, black and white shells. In some places, people could eat their money! They made money out of salt. But when it rained, the money might melt!

4. Then people started using metal for money—copper, silver and gold. Metal money was better. But if you have much of it, metal money is hard to carry around. So today we have paper money, with numbers on it to show how much the money is worth.

5. wet blanket Meaning: someone who seems to want to spoil other people’s fun 扫兴的人，泼冷水的人 Story: 如果发生了火灾，可以用什么灭火呢？方法之一就是用湿毯子 (wet blanket) 盖上去扑灭它。用 wet blanket 形容一个人，就是说他好比一块湿毯子，一下子就把别人的热情给浇灭了。 Example: Don’t invite Dick to the dance. He is such a wet blanket with that sour look on his face. 可别请迪克去舞会。他那愁眉苦脸的样子，太扫兴了。
