Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.

About three thousand years ago, there were no shops. If you needed something, you had to make it yourself. For example, if you needed something to wear, you had to kill an animal and get its coat. If you were a good hunter and had a lot of coats, you could exchange them for other things you needed, such as meat, fruit, or tools. This way of exchanging things is called barter. However, barter had a major problem: it was often hard to find someone who wanted exactly what you had to offer.

Later on, people began to use money instead. They made money from things which would last and not go bad easily, such as stones, shells, and animals' teeth. After people discovered metal, they began to use copper, tin, silver, and gold. They made these metals into small bars so that they were easy to store and carry about. Before there were banks, people kept their money themselves. Most people hid their money in the ground because they thought it was the safest place to store it.

About five hundred years later, people began to make coins. Coins were easier to carry than metal bars, and they could be made in different sizes to represent different values, which made buying and selling much more convenient.

This was the beginning of the money we use today.

What is the passage mainly about?

  • How ancient people hunted animals for clothing
  • The reasons banks were first built
  • How coins are made today
  • The history of how money developed over time

What would you do if you wanted a coat thousands of years ago?

  • Kill an animal for its skin
  • Make friends with hunters

According to the passage, what is barter?

  • Using coins to buy goods
  • Hiding money in the ground
  • Storing metal in small bars
  • Exchanging goods for other goods

Why did people often hide their money in the ground?

  • Because there were no banks and they thought it was the safest place.
  • Because coins were too heavy to carry.
  • Because shops required customers to bury payments.

  • Because metal bars needed to be kept cool underground.
