The first people to live on the Earth did not use money. Instead, they bartered─ giving something they had for something they needed. This still happens in many places today. The first things to be used as money were a type of sea-shell, called cowrie shells. They were used by the Chinese from about 1200 BC. The Chinese then began to make small objects that looked like cowrie shells. These were the first coins made out of metal and with a hole in them so that the coins could be put together to make a chain. Over the years, money has been made of different things─ for example, silver, leather, and paper. The Chinese were the first to use paper money from about 800 AD. But, would you believe that noses have been used instead of money? Many hundreds of years ago, people from Denmark used to cut the noses off people who did not pay their taxes. Since many think that the more money they have the happier they will be, they will make all the effort to earn money. Some even steal or commit crimes to become rich. Of course, we know this is wrong. Many wealthy people have found that, in spite of having all the possessions, they are not really happy. Some wealthy people live alone in gorgeous mansions yet die lonely with no family or friends around them. They have spent their lives trying to be rich, but in fact they are poor. It is a pity that they do not know the true meaning of happiness, without getting and spending money. 公告試題 僅供參考 共同科目 英文 共 8 頁 第 6 頁

Tzu-Yau Wu (2015/07/22)

我們都需要錢過活。沒錢,我們就無法購買生活所需。最早居住在地球上的人類並沒有用錢。他們反而是以物易物拿自己擁有的東西去換需要的東西。現在有許多地方仍然使用這種方式。最早被用來當作錢的東西是一種叫做子安貝的貝殼。從約西元前一千二百年起就被中國人使用。然後中國人開始製作外形像子安貝的小東西。這就是最早用金屬鑄成的錢幣,錢幣中間有孔,這樣才能連成一串。多年來,貨幣曾經用過各式各樣的東西來製作,例如銀、皮革及紙張。中國人是最早使用紙幣的民族,大約始自西元八百年左右。但是,你相信有人用鼻子來代替錢嗎?好幾百年前,丹麥人對付不納稅的人就是割掉他們的鼻子。

由於許多人都認為錢越多越快樂,所以他們不顧一切努力賺錢。有些甚至想靠偷搶、犯罪致富。當然,我們知道這是錯的。許多有錢人已經發現,即使家財萬貫也無法帶來真正的快樂。有些富翁形單影隻地住在豪宅裡,死時孤伶伶的,身邊一個家人或朋友都沒有。他們一生致力於追求致富,但事實上卻貧窮不已。很可惜,只要不賺錢和花錢,他們就不知道快樂的真正意義在哪裡。
