sentences)
Money is something we all take for granted in our lives. Some of us may wish we had more of it
but we all recognize it when we see it, whether in the form of coins, notes or cheques. It is difficult
to imagine how people managed without money. In the earliest periods of human history, people
used to exchange goods directly. They would exchange things they had plenty of for things that
they were in need of. For example, they might offer food for tools. This method of exchange,
which is known as “barter”, has many disadvantages. Certain goods may be difficult to carry, they
may not last long, or may be impossible to divide into smaller units. It can also be difficult to know
the worth of something compared with other goods.
According to historians, the first money, in the sense we understand it today, consisted of gold
coins produced about 2,500 years ago. Gold, being a very precious metal, was a suitable material.
The introduction of gold coins was acceptable to everyone and they were still being used at the
beginning of this century, although they have now been replaced by paper money and coins made
of ordinary metals.
1. In the old days, people exchanged………..
A. what they needed for what they had B. food for tools
C. what they had for what they needed D. goods for money
2. “barter” is a system of exchange in which ………
A. food is exchanged for tools B. no money is used
C. money is used to buy things D. goods are difficult to carry
3. Direct exchange of goods is ……. because some gods may be too big to carry.
A. advantageous B. precious C. impossible D. disadvantages
4. According to historians, the first money was ………
A. made of paper B. made of gold C. made of coins D. made of 2000 years ago
5. Modern money is made of ……….
A. gold B. paper or gold
C. ordinary metals D. paper or ordinary metals

For each question there are three pictures and a shortrecording.

Choose the correct picture and put a tick in the box below it.

Look at the three pictures for Question 1 now.

[pause]
Now we are ready to start. Listen carefully. You will hear each recording twice.

1. Which sport will the woman learn on holiday?

Man: .. . So if you're interested in water sports, this hotel has two pools, diving boards, and its own
private beach. You can learn to water ski there, and guests can windsurf too although the hotel
advises beginners to take a few lessons before going out on their own.
Woman: Good. I'm quite a strong swimmer, and I have always wanted to try windsurfing , so that
would suit me fine. I tried water skiing once, but I didn't like it.
Man: Well, I'm sure you'll enjoy your stay there then.
Woman: Good.
[pause]

2. What does the girl's penfriend look like now?

Woman: Look at these photos of my penfriend and her family. I took them during the trip.
Man: So is she the one with long hair?
Woman: Oh, that's her sister. This is her, next to me. She looks a lot like her sister, though, doesn't
she? And they used to have hair the same length, but hers has always been curly. It's a shame she
had it cut, though - I think it looked better when it was long.
[pause)

3. Which animals did the children see?

Woman: Well, the zoo was a bit disappointing . The children enjoyed feeding the horses and
watching the monkeys and the birds, but they hoped to see lions and tigers , and there weren't any.
Someone told us they don't have them there because the security isn't good enough, but I don't
know if that's true.
[pause)

4. Which TV programme is on first?

Woman: .. . and welcome to our Tuesday evening programmes. At 9.00 we'll have the first of our
new programmes on sport, and today you can see live the final of the international tennis cup. But
before that we have singer, Jane Shelley in concert. She will perform songs from her new CD. This
will be followed by today's news from around the world .. .
[pause)

5. What does the boy decide to buy for his grandmother?

Boy: My mum says I've got to buy my granny a present because she always gets me one when she
goes on holiday. I thought I'd get her a black T-shirt .
Girl: Don't be silly , old ladies don't wear T-shirts . Why not get her some of the local perfume . It
smells of roses, or one of those little wooden boxes - they're great for keeping earrings and stuff in.
Boy: That's a good idea. She does a lot of travelling, so she can use it to put her jewellery in.

carefully. You will hear the recording twice.

Woman: Frank, tell us about some of the ships you've discovered.
Man: Well, there's nothing quite like finding your first old ship - it was 300 years old. It was just
lying at the bottom of the sea, so it wasn't difficult to find. Most are covered in sand and rocks - but
this one wasn't.
I'm actually a teacher, not a full-time diver - I dive in my free time but I often get to them before
the professional divers, because I have good up-to-date equipment. Another thing that helps is
talking to fishermen who tell me about their local area. I've even written a book about some of their
experiences.
At the moment, I'm looking for the gold from a ship called The Seabird. It was an enormous well-
built ship and it was coming from Australia on a winter night in 1859. Everything was going fine
until the ship reached the English coast, when it crashed into some rocks in a very strong wind and
sank to the bottom of the sea. It was carrying gold from Australia, and most of it is still at the
bottom of the sea.
My wedding ring is actually made from gold which I found on an eighteenth-century sailing ship.
A friend of mine, another diver, has already found £88,000 worth of gold from different ships. He's
now decided to give up his job and become a full-time diver.
My house is full of things like coins, bottles and old guns. My wife is always complaining about
the number of objects around the house - she says I should open an antiques shop - but I love all
these old things. Anyway, in the end, I gave some things from my collection to museums, because I
didn't want to sell them. But my wife still wasn't very pleased, I'm afraid.
As diving is a dangerous hobby, it's not a good idea to try to teach yourself. I'd advise anyone
interested to do what I did. There are some excellent diving clubs like the one I joined, which run
courses for beginners. It is best to do one of these before you go on a diving holiday ...

Man: Okay everyone, now I need to say a few things about our visit to Staunton Theatre next
Tuesday. You need to be here at school at six o'clock. We'll meet by the back gate because the
coach can't stop at the front one. We can't leave any later than six, as the play starts at 7.30.
We're seeing a very interesting play called The Party by Andrew McVitie. It's a comedy about a
birthday celebration. His works can be difficult to understand so you need to read the play in
advance. There is a copy for everybody which you can pick up from the school secretary. Do that
as soon as you can.
I'll hand out the theatre tickets on the coach. We're all sitting together, in rows E and F. The full
price of these tickets is £18, but you're lucky, because I managed to get a discount for the group, so
you only have to pay £15.75 each. Could you let me have this money before Tuesday, please, and
£3.50 for the coach.
Now, a lot of you have suggested going somewhere together afterwards. Well, the coach driver is
willing to come back a bit later, but there isn't time for a three course meal, so we'll go to a cafe I
know nearby for an ice cream and a coffee. Don't forget to bring some money for that.
I've arranged for the coach to make an extra stop before it comes back to the school. So for those of
you who need to take the bus home, it will be possible for you to get off at the bus station. If you
decide to take a taxi, you should find plenty of taxis there, or you can walk to the main square.
Right, any questions...
