四、阅读表达 阅读下面短文，然后根据短文内容回答问题，每小题答案不超过10个单词。
Long ago, people did not need money. They lived on animals, fruits and other plants. Then, people learned to grow crops (庄稼) and keep animals. Sometimes, families had more things than they needed, so they started to make deals with other families. Later, people began to use money as a way of dealing. However, it was not the kind of money we use today. They used shells, rice, salt, large stones and so on.
During the 600s BC, people began using coins. They soon found that coins were easy to carry and could be kept for a long time. So countries began to make their own coins. The Chinese were the first to use paper money. The Italian traveller Marco Polo saw the Chinese using money when he visited China in the 1200s.
Today, we have many ways to pay for things. We don’t often use coins or paper money. Often, people pay for things with cards or smartphones in their daily lives. They seldom carry a lot of “real” money.
1. Why did people start to make deals with other families?
2. What kind of “money” did people use for dealing at first?
3. When did people begin using coins?
4. How do people often pay for things today?
5. What do you think of the ways to pay for things today?
