单选题A house is the most expensive thing most people will ever buy. Very few people have enough money of their own to buy a home, so they have to borrow money from a bank. Borrowing money from a bank to buy a house is called "take a mortgage (抵押)." The bank usually lends money or gives a mortgae for twenty-five years. Houses are so expensive that many people nowadays have to borrow as much as $50,000. In other words, they will have a $50,000 mortgage.
How can you get a mortgage? When you find a house you like, you go to a bank. The bank will research your financial (金融的) history and decide if they think you are a good risk. They will want to know what kind of job you have, what kind of salary you make, and how long you have had the job. They will also want to know how much money you have. In addition, the banks will require a down payment. Depending on which state you live in, the bank may require as much as 30% of the price of the house as a down payment. The bank will then lend you the rest of the money to buy the house. Many people are never able to buy a house because they cannot save enough money for the down payment.
单选题Cars are an important part of life in the United States. Without a car most people feel that they are poor. And even if a person is poor he doesn't feel really poor when he had a car. Henry Ford was the man who first started making cars in large numbers. He probably didn't know how much the car was going to affect American culture. The car made the United States a nation on wheels. There are some reasons why the car became so popular in the United States. First of all, the country is a huge one and Americans like to move around in it. With a car people can go to any place without spending a lot of money. Also the American spirit of independence is what really made cars popular. Americans don't like to wait for a bus, a train or even a plane. They don't like to have to follow an exact schedule. A car gives them the freedom to schedule their own time. And this is the freedom that Americans want most to have. The gas shortage has caused a big problem for Americans. But the answer will not be a bigger system of public transportation. The real solution will have to be a new kind of car, one that does not use so much gas.

单选题Having been given such a good chance,how could she let it get away?
单选题A carefree summer vacation can be yours with these tips.
1. Fly into Alternate Airports
Most major destinations are served by more than one airport. Flying into a less popular one can result in cheap tickets. Another added
perk
of quieter airports? Shorter check-in and security lines, and less waiting around.
2. Use public transportation for city travel to save time and money
When possible, take public transportation from the airport to your hotel. For example, the London-Heathrow express train takes just 15 minutes to get from airport to city and costs under 20 pounds. By contrast, "A taxi costs about 70 pounds and takes 40 minutes," reports DiScale.
3. Eat smart, explore and save
Look for ways to take your order in a pricey restaurant and you can avoid "Are we about to run out of money? Don"t order an appetizer. Don"t drink a lot of booze," says DiScale. Also, cover more ground by spreading out your snack places. "Have dessert at a café or ice cream stand, instead of at the dinner restaurant," suggests DiScale. You"ll see more of the city and decisions about where to go for dinner will be less worrying.
4. Hit the market
Much like reading the local newspaper, visiting a market gives context to a foreign country. Even the smallest village tends to have a weekly open-air market (often on Saturday mornings), while in larger towns and cities, expect additional market days, as well as big markets.
Markets also sell amazing, wallet-friendly souvenirs. Think about sea salt, local spices or sauces, and regional oils and vinegars. Eatable gifts are almost always appreciated, saving you the stress of finding the "perfect" gift for each person on your list.
