四 任务型阅读。（9分）
About 5,000 years ago, people could exchange(交换) things that they had for what they needed. At that time, there was no real "money".
About 3,000 years ago, "money" appeared. People found shells(贝壳). They're hard and beautiful. People used them to buy things.
Later, people used coins to buy things. Different coins have different sizes and colours. Now, we can also see coins.
In the Song Dynasty, people had paper money. The first paper money is Jiao Zi(交子). People liked to use it very much. Today, we also use the paper money.
However, online payment has brought a big change. In the past, people couldn't use the internet, but now with smartphones, we can shop online. As a result, life is easier today.
