10、s. Houses are so expensive that many people nowadays have to borrow as much as $ 50 000. In other words, they will have a $ 50 000 mortgage. How can you get a mortgage？ When you find a house you like, you go to a bank. The bank will research your financial (金融的) history and decide if they think you
11、are a good risk. They will want to know what kind of job you have, what kind of salary you make, and how long you have had the job. They will also want to know how much money you have. In addition, the banks will require a down payment. Depending on which state you live in, the bank may require as m
12、uch as 30% of the-price of the house as a down payment. The bank will then lend you the rest of the money to buy the house.

They contain the quickest and the most efficient means of communicating within their respective culture. To learn a foreign language is to learn another culture. In the words of a
18、 poet and philosopher, “As many languages as one speaks, so many lives one lives.“ A culture and its language are as necessary as brain and body: while one is a part of the other, neither can function without the other. In learning a foreign language, the best beginning would be starting with the no
19、n-language elements of the language: its gestures, its body language, etc. Eye contact is extremely important in English.

24、e invention of labor-saving machinery and the development of scientific agriculture. Labor-saving machinery naturally appeared first where labor was scarce. “In Europe“, said Thomas Jefferson, “the object is to make the most of their land, labor being sufficient; here it is to make the most of our l

26、acks. By 1860, most of the machinery in use today had been designed in an early form. The most important of the early inventions was the iron plow.
