An incredible 45 percent of 18 to 24-year-olds in the UK turned to BNPL last year, according to The Money Charity. Lend
29、ers say they offer a better deal than credit cards, because they do not charge interest but make money from affiliate deals (关联交易) with retailers (零售商). It may be a new way of borrowing money, but the old rules still apply: unless you repay the debt quickly, you are building up trouble for the futur
30、e.Now, BNPLs are growing in popularity and do have upsides mostly convenient shopping with no interest financing and no strict approval requirements.However, they also make it effortless to overshop, overspend, and get in over your head with credit problems.Lenders pay the retailer on your behalf, a
31、nd then you repay over 30 days or three months, spreading the cost to help with your cash flow. They say this is fairer and less expensive than credit cards. That may be true, but BNPL has dangers, too.BNPL lenders may not charge any interest, but they still want you to pay back the money you have b
32、orrowed, so what if you cant? Typically, you have 30 days to pay. If you dont, your lender will contact you to chase late payments. If you still dont pay, they call in the debt collectors. Citizens Advice says that 14 million used a BNPL product last year, but six million did not understand what the
33、y were signing up for. Some 26% of BNPL customers regretted their choice, while 41% struggled with repayment. Younger people were particularly at risk. A quarter of those making BNPL repayments couldnt afford food, rent or bills as a result.Another worry is that BNPL lenders only perform soft search
34、es on a persons credit report, so do not see the borrowers true credit status. This means they cannot remove people with financial problems and may end up adding to their troubles. BNPL lenders say they do careful checks to make sure they never lend more than a consumer can afford to pay back, and a
35、lso pause accounts if a single payment is late. Nobody wants to be pursued by debt collectors. If you do use BNPL credit, never borrow more than you can afford to repay.28.

36、 retailers services. C. They receive a certain fee from affiliate deals. D. They charge interest from 18 to 24-year-old users.29. Why does BNPL become more and more popular? A.

37、hing needed without credit problems. D. For convenient shopping and no strict approval requirements.30. What problem does the Buy Now Pay Later method have? A. All the young people cant repay the debt quickly. B. It is difficult to know the borrowers real credit status. C. More than half of BNPL cus
38、tomers cant afford the payments. D. BNPL has to depend on debt collectors to get back the money.31. What do the underlined words “get in over your head” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. To make up your mind. B. To start to feel happy. C. To be involved in a difficult situation. D. To show an indiffe
39、rent attitude.DPsychologists have long believed that personalities are relatively immune to changes following collective stressful events, such as natural disasters, but the COVID-19 pandemic appears to be an exception, said Angelina Sutin, a psychologist at Florida State University. Researchers fro
40、m a new study analyzed answers from 7,109 adults in the United States, based on the Big Five personality traits: neuroticism (神经过敏症), extroversion (外向), openness, agreeableness and dutifulness. The participants, aged 18 to 109, took multiple personality tests on their phones or computers measuring t
41、hese traits before and during the pandemic.In the first, “acute” phase from March 2020 to December 2020, personality traits remained fairly consistent with pre-pandemic surveys, with only neuroticism slightly declining. By the second phase, defined as the “adaptation” period from January 2021 to Feb
42、ruary 2022, there were no overall shifts in neuroticism relative to pre-pandemic levels, but adults had become less extroverted, open, agreeable and dutiful. Also, younger adults personalities changed the most, while the oldest group had no significant shifts. And no other age group saw an increase
43、in neuroticism in the second phase, but adults under 30 did.“The results dont hold true for each person. So its no surprise if you dont see that same change in yourself or those closest to you,” Sutin said.Although personality doesnt directly control mental health, Sutin is advocating for more resea
44、rch into the impact that pandemic-related personality changes may have on well- being, particularly for young adults. “We need to do what we can to help support younger adults as much as possible, so they can make better transitions into adulthood and reduce the stress that they face to help improve
45、 their mental health and long-term outcomes,” said Sutin.Still, the study had a few downsides, said Brent Roberts, a psychologist at the University of Illinois Banana-Champaign. There was no control group of people who hadnt experienced the pandemic, and other explanations werent explored, making it
46、 hard to assess if these personality changes were directly caused by the pandemic.32. How may psychologists feel about the pandemics impact on personality? A. Concerned. B. Uninterested. C. Unexpected. D. Annoyed.33. How did participants get involved in the study? A. By responding to questions onlin
47、e. B. By making some personal requests. C. By analyzing their personality traits. D. By recording their daily life with phones.34. What did the findings of the research indicate regarding personalities? A. Neuroticism remained consistent. B. The two phases shared similar results. C. Young adults und

D. Its advancement.第二节 (共5小题; 每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。You will be leavin

100、ite busy.M: So could anything be done to improve the course?W: Well .? I think it would be helpful to have meetings with professors on the course. Say once for two weeks- something like that.M: Regular meetings. Yes, that could certainly help. Thanks, Kate.(Text 10)M: Welcome to this weeks book prog
101、ram. Weve got lots of great new books to tell you about. My Life, by Joe Wrigley, will keep all fans of Joes stories happy for hours. It explains a lot about where his ideas come from and gives a picture of what was happening in his life when he was working on his most successful books. I must say,
102、though, that some of it is difficult to understandif you havent read his other books. Now, for those of you who like a good cry, Goodbye to the Fields, by Susan Marks,tells the sad story of John, a small boy who has to leave the countryside he loves when the family move to London because of his fath
103、ers job. John and his mother would prefer to stay where they are. Its a long time before the family begins to feel comfortable living in the big city. The last book this week is Holidays in Europe, by Mary Curtis. This is an enjoyable read, which will give you helpful information if you plan for nex
104、t years holiday. It doesnt matter that the writer doesnt talk about the famous places everyone visits, but describes lots of small places away from the main tourist areas.? The maps are too small to be useful but the book is still good value for money. Thats it for this week, then. Next week, theres a special report on giving books as presents, so if youve saved up your money and youre wondering what to get for a friend or a relative for their birthdays, you might get some good ideas. Ill look forward to talking to you then.
