  1、In ancient times wealth was measured and exchanged in things that could be touched:food,tools,and precious metals and stones.Then the barter system was replaced by coins,which still had real value since they were pieces of rare metal.Coins were followed by fiat money,paper notes that have value only because everyone agrees to accept them.

  Today electronic monetary systems are gradually being introduced that will transform money into even less tangible forms,reducing it to a series of”bits and bytes”,or units of computerized information,going between machines at the speed of light.Already,electronic fund transfer allows money to be instantly sent and received by different banks,companies,and countries through computers and telecommunications devices.

  3、The water we drink and use is running short in the world.We all have to learn how to stop wasting our limited water.One of the steps we should take is to find ways of reusing it.Experiments have already been done in this field.

  Today in most large cities,fresh water is used only once,then it runs into waste system.But it is possible to pipe the used water to a purifying factory.There it can be filtered and treated with chemicals so that it can be used again,just as it were fresh from a spring.

  But even if every large city purified and reused its water,we still would not have enough.Then we could turn to the oceans.All we'd have to do to make use of the seawater on earth is to get rid of the salt.This process is called desalinization,and it is already in use in many parts of the world.
