These cards are just like the poisons we use on insects. If we use them carefully, they can be helpful; but if we use them too much, they can kill us. These cards can kill us financially just as real poison can kill our body.For any money that the user does not pay each month, the credit card company changes a percentage of that amount in interest. The insect is added every month, so a bill that is not paid gets bigger and bigger.Over 10 percent of the families in the United States are “overextended”. That is, they have more debt on their credit cards than they can pay.Credit cards can be used for almost anything that money can buy. And they can even be used to pay for funerals.

So, at 19,she decided to get her breasts enlarged, “I was all about doing anything I could to improve myself,” she says.With that decision, Long joined thousands of young patients who are surgically altering their appearance each year.

The new system is designed to give a warming seconds before an earthquake strikes.That may not sound like very long. However, it could give people time to get under a table. The flow of electric power or gas could be cut, air traffic controllers could warn away pilots. Evenso-called “smart buildings” could be designed to get ready.Richard Allen of the University of Wisconsin and Hiroo Kananmori of the California Institute of Technology developed the program. They call it the Earthquake Alarm System. A report published in Science magazine describes it.The system uses a mathematical program to measure information collected by instruments placed across the Los Angeles area. Southern California already has more than 150 stations that measure movements within the ground. The information they collect is sent to a high-speed computer.The new system is designed to estimate the strength of the earthquake once the shaking starts. Areas directly above the center of the earthquake would have the least warning. Distant places might have as long as forty seconds.Professor Allen notes that an early warning system for earthquakes would require a major campaign of public education. Then, another problem is the possibility of false alarms.48. When an earthquake strikes, the new alarm system would give people enough time to______.A) find shelter in “smart buildings”B) tell pilots to land the airplanesC) know the strength of the earthquakeD) turn off gas and electricity49.The “earthquake Alarm System” described in the passage has been develope d by _______.A) Richard Allen and his teacher Hiroo KananmoriB) Hiroo Kananmori and his assistant Richard AllenC) two scientists from the United States and JapanD) two scientists from two universities in the US50.

The writer of this passage has most probably used information from_________.A) a meeting held at the California Institute of TechnologyB) an interview with Professor Richard AllenC) a report published in the Science magazineD) an announcement made by a group of scientists.Part IV ranslation from English into Chinese (10%)(15 minutes)Directions: In this part, there are five items, and four of them are taken from the reading passages you have just read.
