Passage 4

  Mankind’s fascination with gold is as old as civilization itself. Not only is gold beautiful, but it is indestructible. It will not rust. Gold coins and products have survived undamaged for centuries. Gold is extremely easy to work with; one ounce, which is about the size of a cube of sugar, can be beaten into a sheet nearly 100 square feet in size, and becomes so thin that light passes through it. Gold conducts electricity better than any other substance except copper and silver, and it is particularly important in the modern electronics industry.
