Thanks to Americans’ seemingly bottomless appetite for more debt, Mr. Ginsberg still predicts employment growth in the debt-collection industry at home—if the agencies can attract new workers. As it happens, few Americans seem to enjoy hassling their compatriots to pay credit-card debts or hospital bills they cannot afford. -

第13题：
听力原文： A certificate of deposit (CD) is a time deposit with a bank. Time deposits may not be withdrawn on demand like a check account. CDs are generally issued by commercial banks but they can be bought through brokerages. They bear a specific maturity date that usually lasts from 3 months to 5 years, a specified interest rate, and can be issued in any denomination, very similar to bonds. CDs offer a slightly higher yield than T-Bills because of the slightly higher default risk for a bank, but overall the likeliness of a large bank going broke is pretty slim. Of course, the amount of interest you earn depends on a number of factors such as the current interest rate environment, how much money you invest, the length of time, and your specific bank.
24. What is a CD?
25.Which of the followings generally issue CDs?
26.How long does a specific maturity usually last?

第19题：
As recently as three decades ago,many Americans believed that using credit was an unwise and?dangerous way to pay for what they bought．Some even thought that owing money to a store or a?credit company was something to be ashamed of．Good citizens,they believed,always bought what?they wanted with real money and they paid the full price immediately．
Today,however,all that has changed．Credit,as some observers have noted,has become a?way of life in the United States．More and more Americans now are depending on those small pieces?of plastic,credit cards,to pay for large purchases such as televisions,record players or furniture．Many people today would consider it unusual not to use a credit card to pay for a costly restaurant?dinner,a hotel room or an airline trip．And there are some situations in which Americans must have?credit cards．If they want the temporary use of a car,for example,they first must give the car rental?company the number of their credit card．That number is considered a guarantee that they will return?the car and pay for using it．
Credit cards offer two major services to Americans．First of all,they are easier and safer to?carry than large amounts of money．Second,they permit people to borrow,to have the immediate?pleasure of owning something,even if they do not have enough money to pay for it at the time．With?credit cards people pay for goods or services at the end of each month instead of when they buy them．And when the time does come to pay,most credit cards offer people a choice．They can pay all of?what they owe for the month or they can just pay usually between 5 and 10 percent of what they owe．
What advantage can credit card holders have?A.They can choose not to pay for their purchases．
B.They can easily borrow money at a lower interest．
C.They can own something before they actually pay for it．
D.They can pay only a small amount of what they owe．答案：C解析：【考情点拨】事实细节题。
【应试指导】由文章第三段第三句“they permit people to borrow…for it at the time”可知，即使目前不能支付得起，人们仍然可以提前拥有某样东西，故选C。 -
