六、阅读与回答问题(本题共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
请认真阅读下面短文,并根据短文内容回答问题。
How interesting! Before we had paper money and coins, people used shells, goats, tomatoes and other things to trade(交易). Trading often helped people get what they needed. Long ago, salt was very important because it kept food fresh. People traded salt for shoes, tools, food and other things. This way of trading things for other things is called barter(以物易物).
About 9,000 years ago, people used animals like cows, sheep and camels to pay for things. Some also used vegetables and plants. Then in the Shang Dynasty, people in China started using shells as money. Soon, other countries began to do the same.
The next development was around 1000 BC. Chinese people made metal coins. The very first coins often had holes in them. This way, people would put a string(绳子) through the holes to keep the coins together. Later, countries like Persia and Greece also used metal coins.
A few hundred years later, leather was used as money in China. Then in the 11th century, Chinese people made the first paper banknotes. Paper money came to Europe much later. It took hundreds of years for all European countries to use it.
Today, money is still changing. In many places, people don't often use paper money. Instead, they use credit cards or pay online.
66. What often helped people get what they needed?
67. When did Chinese people start using shells as money?
68. Why did Chinese people put a string through the holes of the coins?
69. Who made the first paper banknotes?
70. What's your favourite way of payment(支付)? Why? (请自拟一句话作答)
