When we talk about Americans barely into adulthood who are saddled with unbearable levels of debt. the conversation is almost always about student loan debt. But theres a growing body of evidence suggesting that todays young adults are also drowning in credit-card debt—and that many of them will take this debt to their graves. More than 20% overspent their income by more than $ 100 every single month. Since they havent built up their credit histories yet. its a safe bet that these young adults are paying relatively high interest rates on the resulting credit card debt. Although many young people blame "socializing" as a barrier to saving money, most of them arent knocking back $20 drinks in trendy(时尚的)lounges. Theyre struggling with much more daily financial demands. To a disturbingly large extent, the young and the broke are relying on credit cards to make it until their next payday. This obviously isnt sustainable in the long run. and its going to put a huge drag on their spending power even after they reach their peak earning years, because theyll still be paying interest on that bottle of orange juice or box of spaghetti(意式面条)they bought a decade earlier. A new study out of Ohio State University found that young adults are accumulating credit card debt at a more rapid rate than other age groups, and that theyre slower at paying it off. " If what we found continues to hold true, we may have more elderly people with substantial financial problems in the future." warns Lucia Dunn, professor of economics at Ohio State. "If our findings persist, we may be faced with a financial crisis among elderly people who cant pay off their credit cards. " Dunn says a lot of these young people are never going to get out from under their credit card debt. "Many people are borrowing on credit cards so heavily that payoff rates at these levels are not sufficient to recover their credit card debt by the end of their life, which could have loss implications for the credit card issuing banks."

听力原文: Spaceships travel around the earth, go to the moon, and return home safely. The astronauts carry important supplies with them on the spaceship — food, water and air. Sometimes there are problems on the spaceship, and the astronauts have to understand how the spaceship works in order to repair the problems. In a way, all of us are really on a spaceship, the planet Earth. We move around the Sun at 18 miles per second and never stop. On our spaceship we have four billion people and a limited supply of air, water and land. These supplies, just like the limited supplies on the astronauts spaceship, have to be used carefully because we cant buy new air, water or land from anywhere else. Everyone needs air, water and land to live — this is our environment. The environment on our planet is a closed system; nothing new is ever added. Nature recycles its resources. Water, for example, evaporates and rises to form. clouds. This same water returns to the earth as rain or snow. The rain that falls today is actually the same water that fell on the dinosaurs 70 million years ago. Over the years, people have changed the environment. We have poured back into the land, air, and water more wastes than nature can clean. So we have pollution today. To continue to survive, we must learn how to use the Earths resources wisely, without destroying them. To save the spaceship Earth, we must cooperate with nature and learn better ways to use, not to abuse our environment. Questions 20 to 22 are based on the passage you have just heard. 20. Which would be the best title for the passage? 21. Which is true according to the passage? 22. What can we conclude from the passage?20.
A.The present population on earth is fourteen billion.
B.Water is recycled every seventy million years.
C.The planet earth travels around the sun at 18 miles per second.
D.The earth is compared to a spaceship because they both travel around the sun.
