阅读理解 It is much less common for people to carry cash in the West than it is in China. Often it is not safe to have large amounts of cash on hand in the West. Most people use checks or credit cards to avoid carrying cash with them. Checks or credit cards are often used to pay rent and telephone bills. Checks can also be used to buy things. Credit cards are mainly used to make purchases. Personal checks are issued by banks. The bank will give him or her special pieces of paper on which to write checks. More people will accept the check instead of using cash. Credit cards are pieces of plastic, usually 5.5cm by 8.5cm. When buying something, the buyer will give his credit card to the seller. The seller will get information .from the credit card, and accept it instead of money. The seller will give the buyer a receipt(收据). Another receipt goes to the bank. Banks issue credit cards. Stores also issue credit cards. Very often university bookstores issue credit cards to graduate students and visiting scholars.
