The Origin of Money
In the earliest stages of man’s development he had no
more need of money than animals have. He was content
with very simple forms of shelter, made his own rough
tools and weapons and could provide food and clothing for
himself and his family from natural materials around him.
Since he became more civilized, however, he began to want 【M1】______
better shelter, more efficient tools and weapons, and more
comfortable and more lasting clothing that could be provided 【M2】______
by his own neighborhood or by the work of his own unskilled hands. 【M3】______
For these things he had to turn to the skilled people such as
smiths, leatherworkers or carpenters who were springing 【M4】______
everywhere. It was then when the question of payment arose. 【M5】______
At first he got what he wanted by a simple process of
exchange. The smith who had not had the time to look after 【M6】______
land or cattle was glad to take meat or grain from the
farmer in exchange for an axe or a plough. But as more and more
goods which had no fixed exchange value came
on the market, exchange became extremely complicated to be 【M7】______
satisfactory. Another problem arose when those who made
things wanted to get stocks of wood or leather, or iron, but had
nothing to offer in exchange until their finished goods were
ready.
However the difficulties of exchange led by degrees to the 【M8】______
invention of money. In some countries, easily handled things
like seeds or shells were given a certain value and the farmer,
instead of paying the smith a new axe by giving him some meat 【M9】______
or grain, gave him so many shells. If the smith had any
shells left when he had bought his food, he could get
stocks of the raw materials of his trade. Later pieces of metal
bearing values according to the rarity of the metal and the size
of the pieces or coins were used. Money as we know had 【M10】______
arrived.
【M1】
选项
答案
将Since改成As。
解析
since表示“自从……”或“既然……”,as表示“随着……”,后者在此上下文中更合适,因为这里讲的是货币逐步发展的过程。
