When we think of money, we think of coins and paper bills. That is what money is today. But in the past people used many things instead of money. Some countries used cows. Other countries used salt, tobacco(煙草), or stones. Today there are still some places in the world that do not use paper money. One place is the island of Yap in the Pacific Ocean.
On the island of Yap, people use the heaviest money in the world－Yap stones. These are round, white stones with a hole in the middle. The Yap stones do not originate(起源) from the island. The Yap men have to go to islands four hundred miles away to get them. Big stones can be twelve feet high－as big as two tall men. Small stones are as big as a dinner plate.
Rich people do not carry the Yap stones. Servants(仆人) Follow the rich. Each servant carries a stone on a long stick over his shoulder(肩膀). Today the people on the island use paper money for everyday shopping. But for other things they still prefer Yap stones.

True or false? Only old women knit.
Not
anymore！Knitting has now become a
fashionable hobby with women in their 20s and 30s. Young women can be seen
knitting in coffee shops, hairdressers, bookstores, and bus stops, and
Hollywood stars like Julia Roberts, Cameron Diaz, Madonna, and Gwyneth Paltrow
all knit. They are knitting scarves, hats, socks, and sweaters—even bikinis and wedding dresses!
Knitting is being called the "new yoga". It is very relaxing and is the perfect hobby for our busy, stressful, 21st-century lives. It slows down your heart and lowers your blood pressure. Lissy Blomster, a 25-year-old buyer from New York, says "I come home from work mad and stressed almost every day. But after 30 to 45 minutes of knitting, I'm totally relaxed. " Jenny Carter, a 32-year-old advertising executive from Seattle, always knits through her lunch break. "It helps me clear my head and start fresh," she says.
Even some men are taking up knitting. Dave White, a 33-year-old IT manager from San Francisco, started knitting six months ago, after a woman friend introduced him to it. " I like knitting because I can go into my own little world and forget about my problems," he says. But he has not told any of his men friends that he knits, and he never knits in public. Brian Duffey, however, a 26-year-old student from Chicago, said, "I knit anywhere, everywhere. I have never had a negative comment… in fact, I find it attracts women. "
