三、首字母填空
(2026 扬州高邮期末)I'm Li Hua, a middle school student. Just like many of you, I get some pocket money from my parents every week or month. I often spend it quickly in s1—I like buying snacks and toys. I never think much about it at the time. And soon I have no money left! That feels pretty b2.
Then my parents talk to me about money for the first time. They don't blame (责备) me. Instead, they share some simple i3.
One big thing I learn is to make a p4 for my money. I write down how much I have and think about what I want to do with it. This way helps me s5 40% of my monthly pocket money. And I even put some in the b6 for a rainy day.
Another helpful idea is to judge (判断) a "need" or a "want". A "need" is something I really can't do w7, like education, food, or clothes. A "want" is something I wish to have, like a new video game or a toy. It's w8 to take care of my "needs" first.
Comparing prices(比价) is also a great way! B9 I buy something, I go to different shops or look online to see who has it cheaper. Sometimes, waiting for a sale saves me a lot of money.
Now, I feel better about my pocket money. Learning to handle money helps me feel more responsible. It's a great s10 to have for the rest of my life!

四、综合填空

五、阅读回答问题
(2025 淮安调研)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(易货贸易).
About 9000 B. C., people used animals like cows, sheep and camels to pay for things. Some also used vegetables and plants. Then in 1200 B.C., people in China started using shells as money. Soon, other countries began to do the same.
The next development was in 1000 B.C. Chinese people made round 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. By 500 B.C., countries like Persia and Greece also used metal coins.
A few hundred years later, leather was used as money in China. Then in 806 A. D., Chinese people made the first paper banknotes. Paper money came to Europe much later. It took about 300 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.
1. What often helped people get what they needed long ago?

2. When did Chinese people start using shells as money?
