Money is all surrounding us．Every day, we see it, use it, and it is on the tip

of our tongue．Did you ever stop to take into consideration where the money that you carry around every day comes from?

Making new money is a very unique job and no easy task．It has up to 65 steps.

When the money in circulation（流通）gets dirty and worn out, it is replaced with new money. The old money is taken from banks and brought to places where it is destroyed. Usually, the old money is burned. The burned money is replaced by new paper money.

If old money is being replaced, then new money is printed in a place called a

mint（造币厂）．Large sheets of paper are printed with many pictures of some currency （流通货币）．These large sheets are cut into individual bills．The individual bills are then put together in big stacks and then sent to banks．

Sometimes the mint will make a new bill with a new picture （portraits of statesman

and places of interest are favoured）or a new colour. It is not easy for the government to make a new bill. It takes a long time, and there are many steps to go through before a new bill can be sent to banks, First, people in the government decide that a new kind of bill is needed. Then, they ask an artist to design the new bill．A different artist cuts the new picture into a soft piece of metal called a die．The dies are made and put onto large printing machines．Then, very special paper is used, which no one but the mint can have．Along with this special paper, the mint also prints currency using special colours．After the dies print the new currency onto the paper, the bills are cut, stacked, and sent off to the banks． 1．From the passage we know that

In a world with limited land，water and other natural resources(资源)，the harm from the traditional business model is on the rise.Actually，the past decade has seen more and more forests disappearing and the globe becoming increasingly warm.People now realize that this unhealthy situation must be changed，and that we must be able to develop in sustainable(可持续的)ways.That means growth with low carbon or development of sustainable products.In other words，we should keep the earth healthy while using its supply of natural resources.

Today，sustainable development is a popular trend in many countries.According to a recent study，the global market for low-carbon energy will become three times bigger over the next decade.China，for example，has set its mind on leading that market，hoping to seize chances in the new round of the global energy resvolution.It is now trying hard to make full use of wind and solar energy，and is spending a huge amount of money making electric cars and high-speed trains.In addition，we are also seeing great growth in the global markets for sustainable products such as palm oil(棕榈油)，which is produced without cutting down valuable rainforest.In recent years the markets for sustainable products have grown by more than 50%.
