Then it reached a desert,“I went through so many difficulties. I should have no problem crossing the desert,”she thought. As she started, she found herself slowly disappearing into the sand. After many tries, she still failed.At this time, a deep voice said,“if a breeze (微风) can cross the desert, so can a river.”It was the voice of the desert. But the little stream answered,“thats because a breeze can fly, but I cant.”“Thats because you cant give up what you are. Let yourself evaporate (蒸发) into the breeze, and it can take you across,”said the desert.“Give up what I am now? No! No!”The little stream could not accept this idea.“The breeze can carry the vapor (蒸汽) across the desert and let it leave as rain.

So they needed to trade(交易) with others. They began to use money to make it easier. However, it was not like the money we use today.

Because they were easier to carry than goods(货物), countries began to make coins as their money.The Chinese were the first to use paper money, probably in the 11th century.

But European countries didnt start using paper money till the1600s.Today we have many ways to pay for things, such as coins, paper money and cards. Some prefer to pay by card.

You can help yourself to feel less homesick. Here is some advice: If you are going away from home, bring your favourite pajamas (睡衣). You can also bring some pictures of the people who you may miss. You can look at them any time you want. The busier you are, the less time youll have to feel homesick. Spend your free time on music, sports or books. Try to join in activities wherever you are. You can make a plan of when you will call your mum or dad. You can also keep in touch with family and friends by emails or text messages. Sometimes, telling someone that you are feeling a little homesick will help you feel better.
