They might have difficulty borrowing money from an agency in business to make loans. Parents or relativ
26、es are usually their best source of loans. Of course, the parents or relatives would have to have money available and be willing to lend it. You might even get an interest-free loan. However, a parent or relative who lends should receive the same interest as any other lender. There are disadvantages
27、 in borrowing from parents or relatives. One is that they may not insist on you paying back the money by a certain time. As a result, you might let the loan drag on. This is especially true if you are not required to pay interest. This is not a way to develop good credit habits. For most consumers,
28、the cheapest place to borrow is at a commercial bank. Banks are a good source of installment loan which may run for 12 months or up to 30. Most banks also make single-payment loans to consumers for short periods-30,60 ,or 90 days. The newest type of bank loan is one that a depositor can get simply b
29、y writing a check. It is usually called something like “ready credit“ or “reserved checking.“ It works like this. A depositor is given a limited amount of credit, usually between 500 and 1,000. He or she may write checks up to the amount allowed. Once a check has been written, the amount of the chec
30、k becomes a loan. Usually no charge is made for interest until the loan is made. A typical interest rate is 3 cents per 100 per day, or just under I percent a month. Suppose that you used 100 of your credit and repaid it in 30 days. The cost would be 90 cents. If you repaid it in 10 days, the cost w
31、ould be only 30 cents. The advantage of borrowing from a bank is that banks generally charge lower rates than most other lenders. One reason is that banks have more strict credit requirements than most other lenders. A consumer must have a fairly good credit rating to get a bank loan. 31 According t
32、o the first paragraph, young people _. （ A） have difficulty borrowing from their parents or relatives （ B） cant get an interest-free loan from their parents or relatives （ C） always borrow money from an agency （ D） usually borrow from their parents or relatives 32 One of the disadvantages in borrowi
33、ng from parents or relatives is that _. （ A） parents or relatives will ask the young people to pay back soon （ B） it will not help young people to develop a good credit habit （ C） they always charge interest （ D） they always charge higher rates than other lenders 33 Most commercial banks offer _. （
34、A） installment loans that may run from 12 to 30 months （ B） installment loans that may run from 30 to 90 days （ C） single-payment loans that may run from 30 to 90 days （ D） single payment loans that may run from 12 to 30 months 34 “Ready credit“ or “reserved checking“ _. （ A） is designed to give the
35、 depositor a check （ B） allows the depositor to write a check to pay any amount （ C） allows the depositor to borrow money from a bank by writing a check （ D） allows the depositor to charge an interest 35 Which of the following is NOT true? （ A） The newest type of hank loan is simple to get. （ B） Ban
36、k loans arc more difficult to get. （ C） Banks charge higher interest rates. （ D） Banks offer loans to those having a fairly good credit rating. 36 TV Goes Digital Coming soon to your TV: views of the hottest live basketball plays from any seat in the stadium. What a better look at that three-point s
37、hot? Call for a replay from behind the basket. Or better yet, follow the “view“ of the ball as it goes through the net. While watching, you might use a built-in speakerphone to talk with a fan in the stands. Or send the score via email to your father in Japan. Sounds impossible? It wont be when the
38、computerized television industries combine to create digital TV machines that receive, send, store, and manipulate TV programs the way computers now manipulate other data; Industry and government representatives recently reached an agreement on how this technology will take place. New digital TVs th
39、at allow current TVs to receive digital signals may hit stores by next spring. To understand how the digital revolution will change the way you watch TV it helps to know how TVs work now. Today, TV networks such as CBS and Fox broadcast; TV shows as analogue electrical signals; These signals travel
40、via the airwaves, satellites; or cable as a continuous stream of electromagnetic energy (like light and radio waves). But this system leaves a lot of room for error. The main problem is that interference can change the voltage of the signal as it travels. This may result in a distorted or miscolored
41、 picture. If we send out the signal in a form that is nearly free from interference-binary(两位数的 )code, pictures and colors are not distorted. youll need to buy a new TV to receive these signals. And the new sets may cost 1,000 US dollars more than todays TVs. But theyll come with other benefits that
42、 may make the price worthwhile. For one thing, the screens will be wider, like movie screens. In addition, the color will be richer. And youll also get digital CD-quality sound. Besides these benefits, digital TVs can offer you a much wider choice of programs. Digital data can expand TV choices beca
43、use computers can compress digital signals. Broadcasters will be able to send six times as much information on the same “channel“. 36 All the following qualities are mentioned in the passage EXCEPT _. （ A） interference-free pictures （ B） a richer color （ C） a wider screen （ D） good reception of sign
44、als 37 The last paragraph says that _. （ A） you can view more programs with a digital TV （ B） a football game can be shot with 20 cameras （ C） everything you want will appear on the screen （ D） broadcasters should consider it their duty to send out different versions of the same program for custom-v
45、iewing 38 In paragraph 2,“It wont be when.” means _. （ A） it is possible when. （ B） it is not possible when. （ C） the time hasnt arrived for. （ D） the time hasnt come when. 39 In paragraph 3,“may his stores“ probably means _. （ A） may be kept in a storehouse before the new digital TVs are shipped （
46、B） may be placed on shelves in a warehouse （ C） may be purchased in shops （ D） may be shown on the store shelves for demonstration 40 What is the authors opinion about the new TV? （ A） You can wait for a while until the price drops. （ B） For all that the price of the new TV is higher than average TV
47、s, but it is still worth purchasing. （ C） The price is too high because, technologically speaking, the new TV is not entirely new. （ D） The new TV sells for 1,000 US dollars, a price that is quite reasonable. 41 Natural Medicines Since earliest days, humans have used some kinds of medicines. We know
48、 this because humans have survived. Ancient treatments for injury and disease were successful enough to keep humans from dying out completely. They were successful long before the time of modern medicine. Before the time of doctors with white coats and shiny(发亮的 )instruments. Before the time of big
49、hospitals with strange and wonderful equipment. Many parts of the world still do not have university-educated doctors, Nor do they have expensive hospitals. Yet injuries are treated. And diseases are often cured. How? By ancient methods. By medicines that might seem mysterious, even magical(有魔力的 ). Traditional medicines are neither mysterious nor magical, however. Through the centuries, tribal (部族的 )medicine men expe
