Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.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 togo shopping on the Internet, check into a hotel, rent a car, or dineout. People can buy now and pay later. A credit card may have a numberof costs. First, there is the interest charge on purchase, known asthe annual percentage rate. Cardholders may have to pay cash advancefees if they withdraw money from credit cards.Compared to checks, a credit card allows small short-term loans to be quickly made to a customer who need not calculate a balance remaining before every transaction. 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 are 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, it 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 cardholder suffered great losses. Now, major banks in China get more cautions in issuing caused by the card overdrafts(透支).Measures can be taken to avoid the problems. A lost or stolen card can be cancelled in time, which will greatly limit the fraud. European banks require a cardholder’s security code he entered for purchases with the card. In July, 2009, The China Banking Regulatory Commission forbade the issuing of credit cards to under 18-year-old age group.Title: 1.2The Chinese are very generous when it comes to educating theirchildren. Someparents send their children to the best schools or evenabroad to England, the US or Australia, regardless of how much thiscosts. Many parents also want their children to take extra-curriculumactivities where they either learn a musical instrument or ballet, orother classes that will give them a head start in life. The Chinese 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 very cheap. Parents can see that their children’s skills vary; they will usually be skilled in some areas while poor in others. What most parents fail to realize though, is that today’s children lack self-respect and self-confidence.The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple-choice tests and how to study effectively. They are not teaching them the most important skills theyneed 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 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. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully. The result, a well-cooked dinner, will give a child a lot of satisfaction and confidence.An old machine such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child as a toy may make him curious and arouse his interest. If he will spend hours looking at it, and try to mend it, your child might become an engineer when he grows up. Such activities do more than teach a child to read a book, but rather they teach them to think, and to use their minds. This is much more important than learning by reading a book.Title: How Chinese Parents Should 1.

InInternet is now helping to revolutionize the field of testing, justas it did with business, education and social interaction.[2]Already, there is evidence that this revolution is takingplace. In the year 2000, Prometric, a company that gives many of the most common standardized tests, delivered more than four million individual exams electronically worldwide.[3]In addition to providing access to academic tests such as the GRE Examination and TOEFL Test electronically, Prometric also delivers exams of licenses and certification in the same way. The Driving Standards Agency in the U. K. , for example, works with Prometric to offer the written part of their standard driving license test by computer.[4]There are many reasons why computer-based testing is becoming increasingly popular. The most obvious reason is that it makes tests easier to take. Students no longer have to travel long distance to an exam room for only a few hours. All that a test taker needs is a personal computer and a quiet place in which to work.[5]Another important reason is that more adults than ever are now completing degrees, or getting other kinds of certification, through Internet-based schools and learning programs. For them, a learning course delivered via the Internet allows them the flexibility they need, and the convenience of learning at their own pace. For these learners, computer-based testing isa natural part of the environment they are studying in.[6]For many others—particularly for those entering, the world of Information Technology—the Internet has become the most appropriate forum for training and evaluating learners. So, does all this mean that one day people will never have to use a pencil and paper to take a test? We’ll have to wait and see.Title: A new testing method—computer-based testing【拓展训练】1. 根据Passage 2中的句式仿写句子。
