Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer. 1(2013株洲模拟)Credit cards are very popular today. People use credit cards to go shopping on the Internet, check into a hotel, re
2、nt a car, or dine out. People can buy now and pay later. A credit card may have a number of costs. First, there is the interest charge on purchase, known as the annual percentage rate. Cardholders may have to pay cash advance fees if they withdraw money from credit cards. Compared to checks, a credi

Additionally there is no need for a customer to carry any cash for most purposes. Credit cards also offer consumers an easy way to track expenses. Credit cards a
4、re very convenient to use. But people who use credit cards irresponsibly can soon find themselves heavily in debt. Cardholders borrow money from a bank 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, i
5、t may take years to pay off a debt. Interest is continually charged on the unpaid balance. And that is not the only danger. Information security is a major issue these days. Recently there have been several incidents in which many people had financial information either lost or stolen. The cardholde

Some parents send their children to

Many parents also want their children to take extra-curriculum activities where they either learn a musical instrument or ballet, or other classes that will give them a head start in life. The Chines
10、e believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is, so parents often spend unreasonable amount of money on education. Even poor couple buy a computer for their son or daughter. However, what most parents fail to see is that the best education they can give their children is usually
11、very cheap. Parents can see that their childrens skills vary; they will usually be skilled in some areas while poor in others. What most parents fail to realize though, is that todays children lack self-respect and self-confidence. The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how
12、 to take multiple-choice tests and how to study effectively. They are not teaching them the most important skills they need to be confident, happy and clever. Parents can help achieve this by teaching their children practical skills like cooking, sewing and other housework. Teaching a child to cook
13、will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking demands patience and time. It is an enjoyable but difficult experience.

If he will spend hours looking at it, and try to mend it, your child might become an engineer when he grows up. Suc
