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. 
During the Revolutionary War, funds were needed to finance the world, so each of the individual states and 
the Continental Congress issued paper money. So much of this paper money was printed that by the end of 
the war, almost no one would accept it. As a result, trade in goods and the use of foreign coins still 
flourished during this period. 
By the time the Revolutionary War had been won by the American colonists, the monetary system was in a 
state of total disarray. To remedy this situation, the new Constitution of the United States, approved in

IV/ (ID: 79728 ) Read the following passage and blacken the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer 
sheet to indicate the correct answer to the following questions. 
A small but growing group of scholar, evolutionary, psychologists, are being to sketch the contours of the 
human mind as designed by natural selection. Some of them even anticipate the coming of a field called 
"mismatch theory", which would study maladies resulting from contrasts between the modern environment 
and the "ancestral environment". The one we were designed for. 
There is no shortage of such maladies to study, Rates of depression have been doubling in some industrial 
countries roughly every 10 years. Suicide is the third most common cause of death among young adults, 
after car wrecks and homicides. 
Evolutionary psychology is a long way from explaining all this with precision, but it is already shedding 
enough light to challenges some conventional wisdom. It suggests, for example, that the nostalgia for the 
nuclear family of the 1950s is in some way misguided - that the model family of husband at work and wife 
 Truy cập:  để học tiếng anh tốt hơn 6/22 
at home is hardly a "natural" and healthful living arrangement, especially for the wives. Moreover, 
the bygone lifestyles that do look fairly natural in light of evolutionary psychology appear to have been 
eroded largely by commercialism. Perhaps the biggest surprise from evolutionary psychology it its 
depiction of the "animal" in us. Freud, and various thinkers since, saw "civilization" as an oppressive force 
that thwarts basic animal instincts and urges and transmutes them into psychopathology. However, 
evolutionary psychology suggests that a larger threat to metal health may be the way civilization 
thwarts civility. There is a gentler, kinder side of human nature, and it seems increasingly to be a victim of 
repression in modern society.
