But some people get deep into debt: Some banks have terms and charges that can make it harder for people to pay off that debt. In the United States, there are calls for stronger government supervision of the credit card industry. They offer economic power at a price. In 2004, Americans had about $800 billion in credit card debt. Now they own about $968 billion. Critics say banks made it too easy to get credit cards. But that may be changing. The crisis in the housing and credit they call markets is beginning to affect the credit card industry. More payments are late. Charges for late payments are a growing source of profit for banks. But late payments can also signal bad debts. The central bank, the Federal Reserve, says two-thirds of American banks have recently reported tighter lending requirements. Many people report having their credit limits reduced without warning. Some lawmakers are concerned that cardholders do not have enough protections from what abusive policies. These include actions like raising interest rates because of an unrelated event. Also, banks may raise the chances of a late payment by changing monthly payment dates for credit cards. According to a survey, 82% of Americans think credit cards provide a valuable service. But a majority, 58%, say they do not trust credit card companies. And three out of four think the government should regulate the industry more closely. Three out of four people feel there is always some condition that makes a card less appealing than the company made it sound. And a little more than half say they have had a card that was not as good as they expected. But close to 80% say no one really reads the terms and conditions when they sign up for a credit card. 26.

BOne of the worlds richest men has taken a close interest in one of mans most basic functions: visiting the toilet. Bill Gates charitable organization, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, is looking for inventors to design the loo of the future, which, they hope, would improve sanitation for millions of people around the world. So, whats wrong with the traditional flush toilet? Firstly, it wastes a huge amount of potential drinking water. Secondly, they are more likely to cause pollution. This is a real problem in many areas of the developing world, where, according to United Nations estimates, unsafe sanitation causes half of all hospitalizations. Younger people are particularly at risk. Illnesses which cause diarrhea are responsible for the deaths of about 1. 5 million children a year. Finally, standard lavatories simply arent practical in remote areas. The challenge set by Bill Gates was to come up with a latrine which works without running water, electricity or aseptic tank. It also needed to operate for less than 5 cents. 28 designs were displayed at the recent Reinvent the Toilet Fair in Seattle, the USA. Among them was one which turned human waste into electricity using microwaves, another which converted human waste into charcoal, and yet another which used urine for flushing. But the winner was a solar-powered design which generated hydrogen gas and electricity. The team from the California Institute of Technology(CIT)picked up a prize of $ 100, 000. But clearly Bill Gates doesnt feel hes flushing money down the toilet. After the Seattle event he said, “We, couldnt be happier with the response weve gotten, ”Gates has even pledged $3 70m more to the future toilet project. They hope to field test more, prototypes over the next three years. 31. Why is Bill Gates paying people to invent new toilets? A. Because he wants to test peoples sense of creativity. B. Because he wants to improve sanitation for many people. C. Because he thinks the traditional ones are out of fashion. D. Because he cant design this kind of things himself. 32. Which of the following is NOT a problem with the traditional flush toilet? A. They waste too much water. B. They might cause diseases. C. They are not always practical. D. They are too complicated to use. 33. The underlined word“latrine”in the third paragraph might have similar meaning to the word“”in the text. A. looB. sanitationC. diarrheaD. prototype34.

It was winter, and on that particular night, the wind was really blowing. As my mom and I headed towards the restaurant from our car, a girl about my age and her mother came up to us. They asked if we had any spare change. My mom immediately asked where they kept their things. They pointed to an old car in a parking across the street. The girl said there were six of them living in that car, which was the same size as my own family. My mom said she had something to do after handing the people a few dollars. She sent me inside the restaurant with my dad and my three siblings. But she didnt come. Later, I found out she had gone home and practically emptied our cupboards into a few bags. Then, she brought that food over to the car and handed the bags to the family. I wasnt there when that part happened, but I can only imagine the joy it brought to their faces. A few days later, when I actually found out about what she had done, I asked her why she helped those people. She told me that they were not lucky. I remember the face of that girl who had asked us for change, she was the same age as me, yet we looked so different. Here I stood, dressed in almost new clothes, headed to dine in a restaurant and then back home to the bedroom I shared with my younger sister. I remember thinking that the other girl didnt have any food to eat and she was heading back to a cold car shared with five other people. After painting this picture in my mind, I understood why my mom had done what she did. I will never forget what she did that night, and how she taught me one of the best lessons I ever learned. 41.
