阅读短文，判断句子正误，正确的写T，错误的写F。Save Money by Understanding Why You Spend ItTo save money, you simply need to spend less than you earn. It is easy to say, but why is it so difficult to do? To answer this question, you need to study the factors that keep you spending all the time.Easy access to creditFor most people, this is the biggest reason for overspending. People can easily get a credit card, simply by filling out a short form. in a bank or jumping on their website. They can borrow money from banks to go shopping, even buy cars or houses. When you arent physically handing someone money or a check for a purchase, you will feel you are spending free money or you arent spending money at all. Try using cash to get your spending under control.Misusing credit cardsA credit card is an interest free short-term loan. When used as planned, this can be a powerful financial tool. The problem is when you begin to let the balance continue from month to month. If you make a $200 purchase on your credit card and find out that at the end of the month you cant afford to repay the full amount, this is when the high interest rates on the cards really begin to hurt you. That is no way of saving money.Giving in to temptationWe all need to enjoy life, but dont waste your financial future for a few guilty pleasures today if they arent in your budget. When you know that you cant afford an activity, dont give in. Instead, invite your friends over for a home dinner party, game night, or some other activities where you can still enjoy time together, but without breaking your budget.( ) 26. For most people, easy access to credit is the biggest reason for overspending.( ) 27. Using credit card is an effective way to get your spending under control.( ) 28.

短文理解听力原文： In the United States, even if you decide that you do not want to borrow in order to go on vacation, it is still a good idea for you to have several major credit cards. These provide positive identification when renting an automobile and can be used for the deposit. The credit card receipts will serve as an accurate record of all hotel, plane, train, and restaurant expenses. The use of credit cards avoids the necessity of carrying large amount of cash, purchasing large amounts of traveler's cheeks and keeping track of them, or attempting to use personal checks in places other than your own locality.Many major credit cards provide an instant cash service in case you run out of money. American Express, for example, has set up machines in major airports in which you can purchase traveler's checks using your American Express card.21. The credit card receipts will serve as accurate record for all but which of the following choices?22.Which of the following is not true about the use of credit card?23.Concerning the advantages of credit cards, which of the following is true?24.According to the passage, which card has set up machines in major airports?(21)A．hotel expensesB．stock exchangeC．plane expensesD．restaurant expenses
In the US,people prefer waiting for a table to sitting with people they don't know．This means a hostess may not seat a small group until a small table is available,even if a large one is．If you are sitting at a table with people you don't know,it is impolite to light up a cigarette without first asking if it will disturb them.At American restaurants and coffee shops you are usually served tap water before you order．You may find the bread and butter is free,and if you order coffee,you may get a free refill.Most cities and towns have no roles about opening and closing times for stores or restaurants,though they usually do make rules for bars．Especially in large cities,stores may be open 24 hours a day．Servings in restaurants are often large,too large for many people．If you can't finish your meal but would like to enjoy the food later,ask your waitress or waiter for a"doggie bag"．It may have a picture of a dog on it,but everybody knows you are taking food for yourself.Supper and dinner are both words for the evening meal．Some people have"Sunday dinner"．This is an especially big noon meal.Tips are not usually added to the check．They are not included in the price of the meal,either．A tip of about 15%is expected and you should leave it on the table when you leave．In some restaurants,a check is brought on a plate and you put your money there．Then the waiter or waitress brings you your change.What do American people always do when servings are too large for them?A.They take the food home with a doggie bag for their dogB.They leave the food on the table and go awaC.They take the food home with a doggie bag and enjoy the food lateD.They ask the waitress or waiter to keep the food for the
资料：No credit，bad credit Hear the terms often enough and they can blur together.These credit statuses aren’t one and the same，though.Whether you have no credit or bad credit，one thing’s for sure：You don’t have good credit.And without good credit，you’ll face an uphill battle any time you apply for a loan or credit card.Potential lenders will want to know that you will almost certainly repay any money that you borrow.They likely won’t risk loaning money or extending credit to those whose creditworthiness is a big question mark or，worse，who have a track record of poor money management.If you fall into either of these categories，it’s smart to focus on raising your credit scores.If you have no credit score，you don’t have a credit history.If you have bad credit，it’s likely that you’ve mishandled credit in the past.And these two less-than-ideal credit standings require different solutions.If you fall in the no-credit category，you haven’t necessarily made any financial mistakes.In this case，a good way to start building that history is to acquire a credit card for people with no credit.Secured credit cards （which require a security deposit）or college student credit cards are typically the easiest to qualify for if you have no credit.A credit-builder loan can also help you establish credit.Bad credit can be a result of financial missteps，including missing payments，defaulting on loans，or having accounts sent to collections.If you fall into this category and need credit，you’ll need to look for a bad-credit credit card.A secured card or credit-builder loan is a good option in this situation，as well.You also may qualify for a bad-credit personal loan.If you still have open accounts，pay down the balances but don’t close credit accounts if you can avoid it.People with no credit are just starting to build their financial reputation，while those with bad credit are doing damage control.Moving from one of these less desirable situations to a good credit standing may use different tools，but the method is much the same： Make your payments on time and keep your debt low.It takes diligence and dedication，but it can be done.The main purpose of the passage is to______.A.teach people how to have credit accountsB.suggest ways for people to keep good credit recordC.present a concern about people’s bad credit nowadaysD.explain the differences between no-credit and bad credit

共用题干第三篇Look After Your VoiceOften speakers at a meeting experience dry mouths and ask for a glass of water. You can solve the problem by activating the saliva in you mouth.First gently bite the edges of your tongue with your teeth.Or press your entire tongue to the bottom of your mouth and hold it there until the saliva flow.Or you can imagine that you are slicing a big juicy lemon and sucking the juice.Before you begin your talk,be kind to your voice.Avoid milk or creamy drinks which coat your throat.Keep your throat wet by drinking a little sweetened warm tea or diluted fruit juice.If you sense that your are losing your voice,stop talking completely.Save your voice for your speech. You may feel foolish using paper to write notes,but the best thing you can do is to rest your voice.If you need to see a doctor,perhaps you can get some advice from a professional singer. In the meantime,do not even talk in a low voice.What about drinking alcohol to wet your throat?I advice you not to touch alcohol before speaking. The problem with alcohol is that one drink gives you a little confidence.The second drink gives you even more confidence.Finally you will feel all-powerful and you will feel you can do everything,but in fact your brain and your mouth do not work together properly.Save the alcohol until after you finish speaking.Perhaps you want to accept the advice,but you may wonder if you can ever change the habits of a life- time.Of course you can.Goethe,who lived before indoor skating rinks or swimming pools,said,"We learn to skate in the summer and swim in the winter."Take this message to heart and give yourself time to develop your new habits.If you are willing to change,you will soon be able to say that you will never forget these techniques because they became a part of your body.Why does the writer cite Goethe's advice?A:To encourage one to go in for sports. B:To tell that Goethe had a strong willpower.C:To prove one can change one's habits. D:To demonstrate Goethe was creative.
