Money
The Chinese invented paper and painting. Then they invented paper money. Before coins and paper money, people used to trade for things they needed. As time passed, people begin to use shells, jewels, or tea leaves in the same way we use money now. People use about 140 kinds of money today.

Records
In the past, when people wanted to listen to singers and musicians, they had to do it in person. They didn’t have any way to keep the music they heard. Then in 1877, Thomas Edison recorded human speech for the first time. For many years, people used to play records made of plastic on gramophones. Today we listen to music on tapes, CDs and on computers.

Plasters
Before Earle Dickson invented the Band- Aid in 1920, people had different ways to stop bleeding and protect a wound. They used to chew up leaves and put them in the wound, put in spider webs, or pack the cut with sawdust. Today, we all have a box of sticking plasters at home.

Umbrellas
The first umbrellas were for shade from the sun, not for rain. Around 3,500 years ago, people used to make them from palm leaves, feathers or paper. Later, women in ancient Rome put oil on the paper to keep rain from coming through. Now everyone’s got an umbrella of cloth or plastic for rainy days

ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES . Read the following text carefully:      The Amazon forest covers five million square kilometers, an area as big as the whole Europe excluding Russia. It contains one third of the world’s trees. However, the trees are disappearing. By 1974, a quarter of the forest had already been cut down. In the following   year, 1975, four per cent of the remaining trees went. If the destruction of the forest continues at the same rate, there will be nothing left in a few years.       Scientists say that the disappearance of trees is already causing changes in the climate. In Peru, there is less snow than before on the high peaks of the Andes mountains. In Bolivia there is very little rain.       What will happen if more of the Amazon forest is cut down? According to climatologists if the Amazon forest disappears, there will be less oxygen and it will be difficult for us to breathe, the temperature will rise, the ice-caps at the North and the South poles will melt.
