 In the American colonies there was little money. England did not supply the colonies with 
coins and did not allow the colonies to make their own coins, except for the Massachusetts 
Bay Colony, which received permission for a short period in 1652 to make several kinds of 
silver coins. England wanted to keep money out of America as a means of controlling trade: 
America was forced to trade only with England if it did not have the money to buy products 
from other countries. The result during this pre-revolutionary period was that the colonists 
used various goods in place of money: beaver pelts, Indian wampum, and tobacco leaves were 
all commonly used substitutes for money. The colonists also made use of any foreign coins 
they could obtain. Dutch, Spanish, French, and English coins were all in use in the American 
colonies.

Moon (as well as to draw) inferences about the development of the Moon from its 
composition.
 The Moon soil that came back on Apollo 11 contains small bits of rock and glass which were 
probably ground from larger rocks when meteors impacted with the surface of the Moon. The 
bits of glass are spherical in shape and constitute approximately half of the Moon soil. 
Scientists found no trace of animal or plant life in this soil.
 In addition to the Moon soil, astronauts gathered two basic types of rocks from the surface 
of the Moon: Basalt and breccia. Basalt is a cooled and hardened volcanic lava common to 
the Earth. Since basalt is formed under extremely high temperatures, the presence of this type 
of rock is an indication that the temperature of the Moon was once extremely hot. Breccia, the 
other kind of rock brought back by the astronauts, was formed during the impact of falling 
objects on the surface of the Moon. It consists of small pieces of rock compressed together by 
the force of impact. Gases such as hydrogen and helium were found in some of the rocks, and 
scientists believe that these gases were carried to the Moon by the solar wind, the streams of 
gases that are constantly emitted by the Sun.
Question 39. It is implied in the passage that scientists believe that the gases found in the 
Moon rocks......... 
A. were not originally from the Moon B. caused the Moon's temperature to rise

Question 42. According to the passage, what does Moon soil consist of?
A. Large chunks of volcanic lava. B. Streams of gases. 
C. Tiny pieces of stones and glass. D. Hydrogen and helium.
Question 43. The word 'emitted' in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to........
A. vaporized B. sent out C. separated D. set off 
Question 44. According to the passage, breccia was formed .......
A. from volcanic lava
