Although credit cards are becoming a more acceptable part of the financial scene, they are still regarded with doubts by many as being a major part of the “l(fā)ive now pay later” syndrome(綜合癥).Along with hire-purchase, rental and leasing schemes(租賃項目), they provide encouragement to spend more money.Of course, it is only the hotheaded who give way to the temptation to live, temporarily at least, beyond their means, and such people would no doubt manage to do so even without credit cards.

Advertising campaigns have, however, promoted a growing realization of the advantages of these small pieces of plastic. They prevent need to carry large amounts of cash and are always useful in emergencies.

All the credit card organizations charge interest on a monthly basis which may work out as high as 25 per cent a year, yet sensible purchasing using a card can mean that you obtain up to seven weeks, interest-free credit.Using the card abroad, where items frequently take a long time to be included on your account, can extend this period even further.

It is worthwhile shopping around before deciding on a particular credit card. It is necessary to consider the amount of credit granted; interest rates, which may vary slightly; the number and range of outlets(經銷店), though most cards cover major garages, hotels, restaurants and department stores; and of course, what happens if your card is lost or stolen.A credit card thief may be sitting on a potential goldmine particularly if there is a delay in reporting the loss of the card.

However, if used wisely, a credit card can cost nothing, or at least help to tide you over a period of financial difficulty.

1.The hotheaded are people who ________.

A.spend more money than they have

B.spend less money than other people

C.save money

D.make money

2.The disadvantage of credit cards is ________.

A.to enable you to buy things without carrying large amount of cash

B.to encourage people to spend more money

C.to be always useful in emergencies

D.to help people tide over a period of financial difficulty

A.the amount of credit granted  

B.the number and range of outlets

C.the possibility of loss of money

D.the department stores where you are going to use your credit cards

4.The underlined words in the last paragraph probably means ________.

A loving person lives in a loving world. A hostile(敵意的)person lives in a hostile world. Everyone you meet is your mirror.

Often, when we  __50__  qualities in other people, ironically(諷刺地), it's usually the mirror that's  __51__  to us.

At times we meet someone  __52__  and feel distant disconnected, or disgusted.  __53__  we don't want to believe it,and it's not easy or  __54__  to look further,it can be a great learning lesson to  __55__  what part of the person is being reflected in you. It's simply just another way to create more self?awareness.

Dalkoff wrote his chapter and turned it   30   .Today he can not recall anything   31 

about the chapter he wrote, or what   32    Mrs.Branch gave him.What he does remember is the four words Mrs.Brach wrote in margin(空白處)of the paper:“This is   33   writing.”

    “   35     I read those words, I had no idea of who I was or   36   I was going to be.”he said.“After reading her note, I went home and wrote a short story, something I had always been   37    of doing but never believed I could do.”

         Over the rest of that year in school, he wrote many short stories and always brought them to school for Mrs.Brach to evaluate.She was   38     , tough and honest.“She was just what I

   39   .”Dalkoff said.

         His confidence   40   .Dalkoff believes that none of this would have happened if that woman had not written those four words in the margin of his paper.
