(英译汉)Sometimes books were illustrated with woodcuts. Blocks of wood were carved so that the white parts of the picture were below the surface of the wood. When the surface was inked and stamped onto paper, the dark part of the picture was reproduced. The first attempts, of course, were rather crude, but eventually the block printers were making meticulous and artistic illustrations. Florence, in Italy and Lyons, in France, became famous for their illustrated books.

In the seventeenth century, great numbers of religious pamphlets were printed. These pamphlets were not always neat or artistic because the writers were only interested in spreading their ideas quickly, and the readers did not consider the appearance of the book important.

Today anyone will accept money in exchange for goods and services. People use money to buy
food, furniture, books, bicycles and hundreds of others they need or want. When they work, they usually get paid in money.

Most of the money today is made of metal or paper. But people used to use all kinds of things as money. One of the first kinds of money was shells.

Shells were not the only things used as money. In China, cloth and 'knives were used. In the Philippine Islands, rice was used as money. In some parts of Africa, cattle were one of the earliest kinds of money. Other animals were used as money, too.

The first metal coins were made in China. They were round and had a square hole in the center. People strung them together and carried them from place to place.

Different countries have used different metals and designs for their money. The first coins in England were made of tin. Sweden and Russia used copper to make their money. Later, other countries began to make coins of gold and silver.

But even gold and silver were inconvenient if you had to buy something expensive. Again the Chinese thought of a way to improve money. They began to use paper money. (80)The first paper money looked more like a note from one person to another than paper money used today.

Money has had an interesting history from the days of shell money until today.

In the 13th and 14th centuries new inventions were made, such as the compass, paper, spect
acles, gunpowder, and, in the 15th century, the printing press. Some of them were first invented in China and then spread to Europe. By far the most far-reaching was the invention of printing.

In the Middle Ages, books were written and copied by hand. Copying was done mainly by monks and professional copyists. It was an arduous task to copy a whole book by hand. As a result, books were scarce and expensive. Many hand-written books (or manuscripts)were beautifully illuminated with pictures and other decorations hand-drawn and hand-colored. The primary purpose of illumination was not to clarify a text but to beautify it and call attention to the skill that had been lavished on its creation. Books were usually accumulated by monasteries, bishops, princes, and some well-to-do merchants. Since few people could read during the Middle Ages, there was small demand for books.

However, by the 13th century the thrust of intellectual life had passed to the universities. More people could read and more books were privately owned. As the Middle Ages progressed, kings and rich men became patrons to the artists, who produced richly illustrated books. By the 15th century, still more people could read, creating a bigger demand for books.

The desire for learning gave rise to a thirst for books that the copyists alone could not satisfy. A less laborious method of book production had to be found. In about 1450, Johann Gutenberg, a German, revolutionized printing by inventing the movable type. He produced the first printed book in the West — the Gutenberg Bible, and by the end of the 15th century there were 97 editions of the Bible in Europe. The invention of printing was one of the greatest achievements of men. It brought books and knowledge within reach of many and ushered the West from the dark Middle Ages into the Renaissance.

In the Middle Ages, the copying work of books was mainly done by______.

A.monks

B.intellectuals

C.artists

D.merchants
