Until recently, most of that concern has focused on the land 41 of the planet, where pollution directly affects people in their daily lives. Now, however, we have begun to realize that marine pollution is 42 important. According to S.A. Patin, marine pollution is the condition that results when people introduce into the seas substances harmful to life, health, resources, activities, or 43 . Marine pollution is far from new. For over a million years, people have thought of the sea as a 44 place to throw their garbage. And it is true that the sea has a great capacity for absorbing organic wastes. Some of these wastes are eaten directly by the larger fishes. Others quickly 45 into a kind of organic soup that provides food to 46 species of single-celled plant and animal life. As civilizations grew, more different pollutants were dumped into the seas. Still, this pollution did not really threaten the marine environment. The seas seemed 47 of coping with anything that people could throw at them. This situation changed, however, when suddenly factories began dumping enormous quantities of materials into the seas. Especially in some coastal areas near large cities, ocean pollution began to 48 marine life. For the first time, the oceans began to fail in their ability to 49 humanity’s waste. 【查看更多】

　　In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning．If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention．The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11∶00 p．m．If someone receives a call during sleeping hours , he assumes it's a matter of life or death．The time chosen for the call communicates its importance．

　　In social life, time plays a very important part．In the U．S．A．guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date．But it is not true in all countries．In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten．The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world．Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from cultures that treat time differently．Promptness is valued highly in American life, for example．If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible．In the U．S．no one would think of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour , it would be too impolite．A person who is 5 minutes late, he will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence．

　　Buy now, pay later．Credit cards give people that choice．Those billions of small pieces of plastic in use all over the world make it easy to buy things．But people who use credit cards irresponsibly can soon find themselves heavily in debt．

　　Cardholders may not think about it, but they borrow money from a bank or other lender each time they charge something．They avoid interest charges if they pay their bill in full each month．But if they only make the minimum payment, the lowest required, it may take years to pay off a debt．Interest is continually charged on the unpaid balance．

　　A credit card may have a number of costs．First, there is the interest charge on purchases, known as the annual percentage rate, or A.P.R．In the United States right now, the average is between thirteen and fourteen to keep them．

　　Cardholders may have to pay cash advance fees if they withdraw money from a credit card．There are also fees if they go over their credit limit, or if a payment is late．Lenders may also raise interest rates as punishment．

　　In the United States, credit card fees have become a political issue．Congress has threatened to take action against what critics call abusive behavior by lenders．

　　Yet getting a credit card has become a lot easier for most people．Maybe too easy：People receive offers in the mail of pre-approved cards that they never asked for．Many cards offer low rates at first, especially if people agree to move their balance from another card, absolutely for free．

　　About half of all Americans have at least two credit cards．And the credit rating agency Experian says fourteen percent of the population has more than ten．

　　Jeanne Hogarth at the Federal Reserve, the central bank, says the average family has four credit cards．But families that carry a balance, meaning they do not pay off their statements each month, have an average of five．

　　In nineteen eighty-eight Americans had three hundred thirty billion dollars in credit card debt．Last year it was eight hundred forty billion．

　　In the latest government study, the average credit card debt for all households was more than three thousand dollars．But for those that carried a balance, the average was five thousand three hundred．

(1)

Credit cardholders can avoid interest charges by ________．
[　　]
A．	depositing(存)more money into the bank
B．	paying cash advance fees
C．	paying their bill in full each month
D．	making the minimum payment

(2)

Which of the following is NOT included in the costs of a credit card?
[　　]
A．	A.P.R
