A cashless(无现金的)World?
  61  I can get money from a bank anywhere in the world or I can pay my hotel bill with a credit card.
  62  But you couldn't carry animals around your neck or in a bag,so people needed something small.About three thousand years ago, the Chinese used seashells(海螺) and later they used metal coins. In the thirteenth century,the explorer(探险者) Marco Polo travelled to China.He saw paper money for the first time.  63  One reason was that it was good for paying large amounts.
Checks were also practical and the Bank of England made the first check book in the nineteenth century.Then in the early nineteen fifties, the USA introduced credit cards or “plastic money”.  64  
For the first time since humans used animals for payment(支付),we can now buy and sell with no coins, notes or checks.  65  In Africa, around six million people already use mobile phones instead of cash.So do we live in a cashless world? Not quite. Every day,we need some cash for a coffee, a ticket or a newspaper.
