But some people get deep into debt. And critics say some banks have terms and charges that can make it harder for people to pay off that debt. In the United States, there are calls for stronger government supervision (监督)of the credit card industry. Credit cards have been heavily marketed through the mail and at stores. They offer economic power at a price. In two thousand four, Americans had about eight hundred billion dollars in credit card debt. Now they owe about nine hundred sixty-eight billion. The average interest rate on those cards is currently thirteen and a half percent. Critics say banks made it too easy to get credit cards. But that may be changing. The crisis in the housing and credits markets is beginning to affect the credit card industry. More payments are late. Charges for late payments are a growing source of profit for banks. But late payments can also signal bad debts. The central bank, the Federal Reserve, says two-thirds of American banks have recently reported tighter lending requirements. Many people report having their credit limits reduced without warning.（199 words）6.What is a credit card?答案：a card which you can use to buy things and pay for it later7.

They say it could give people who live in deadly earthquake areas enough warning to leave before an earthquake hits. Currently, the most modern systems for predicting earthquakes find them only a short time before the event. Like most strong earthquakes, the one that hit southwestern China in May was not identified early enough for people to flee the area. That earthquake killed sixty-nine thousand people. But scientists who study earthquakes are reporting that new technology could measure very small changes in the Earths surface. Their report was published this month in Nature magazine. Fenglin Niu is a seismologist（地震学家）with Rice University in Houston, Texas. He and his team performed experiments along Californias San Andreas Fault（断层）, an area famous for its many earthquakes. The team placed highly sensitive electrical devices about one kilometer below ground in two different places. The devices were able to measure even small changes in air pressure on the Earths surface. The scientists say such changes are caused when rocks push together, forcing air out of small cracks in the rock. When this happens, seismic（地震的）waves travel faster than usual through the rock. （203 words）11.
