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．

第一篇From Ponzi to MadoffThe year was 1920.The country was the United States of America. The man's name was Charles Ponzi. Ponzi told people to stop depositing money in a savings account.Instead,they should give it to him to save for them.Ponzi promised to pay them more than the bank.For example,a savings account might pay you$5 a year for every $100 you deposit.Ponzi,however,would pay you $40 a year for every $ 100 you gave him to hold.Many people thought this was a good plan.They began to give their money to Ponzi.How could Ponzi make so much money for people?This is what he did with the money people gave him: He used some of that money to pay other people who gave him money.However,he also kept a lot of the money for himself. Soon he had $ 250 million.This was a kind of theft,and it was against the law. The people who gave him their money didn't think anything was wrong. Ponzi paid them every month,just like a bank.Ponzi continued this way of working for two years.Then one day,he didn'thave enough money to pay all the people.They discovered his crime,and he went to prison for fraud.Ninety years later,people began to hear about a businessman in New York named Bernard Madoff. People said he gave good advice about money.They said when they gave him their money,he paid them a lot more than the bank.Madoff helped hospitals,schools,and individuals earn money.Over a period of 40 years,people gave him$170 billion.However,no one investigated what he did with the money.The people who gave Madoff their money also didn't think anything was wrong because he paid them every month.One day,Madoff didn't have enough money to pay all the people he needed to pay. That's when people discovered how Madoff worked:He was taking money from some people to pay other people,just the way Charles Fonzi did.However,this time,instead of losing millions of dollars,people lost billions.Madoff was accused of fraud,and the United States government officials arrested him.He didn't have to go on trial because he said he was guilty.In 2009,a judge sentenced him to 150 years in prison.Bernard Madoff's crime was even bigger than Ponzi'5.It was the biggest fraud in history.The lesson of this story is clear:When something seems too good to be true,it probably is!Why didn't Madoff have to go on trial?A:The officials couldn'tfind any evidence against him.B:He had friends in the government who helped him.C:He admitted he was guilty.D:He returned all the illegal money.
