Which credit card do you find the best, as a woman? As a sports lover, which credit card serves you best? Questions like these threw up the first credit cards ranking by top Chinese credit card doorway 51credit.com and Shanghai-based poll firm 51poll.com as they released the result of a three-month survey via Internet and telephone.

The ranking came from the survey of 20,000 cardholders in more than 100 cities, according to Tu Zhiyun, CEO and founder of 51credit.com. China Merchants Bank (CMB), one of the best performing commercial banks and the largest card issuer in China, was rated the best in the general group for its popular dual-currency (双币) credit card. Shanghai-based Pudong Development Bank was crowned the best in the platinum (白金) card for successfully targeting high-end customers, thanks to its close cooperation with Citibank (花旗银行). The Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, topped the ranking in the co-branded (联名的) group for its card issued in association with China National Petroleum Corporation, China's largest oil company.

Several others got the top honors as the best credit card for women, travel, sports and best design. The total number of credit cards in China is around 30 million, compared with 500 million in the United States. The growing wealth of the Chinese people has added attraction to the credit card business. The number of credit cards issued is expected to double in 2007．

However, most banks are losing money in their credit card businesses as a large portion of the cards have apparently never been used since they were issued. CMB is currently the only commercial bank to have made a profit in the section. The bank said the circulation of its dual-currency credit card reached 10 million by the end of 2006, a jump of 100 percent from 2005, and accounted for 35 percent of the credit card market in China.

　 A．China Merchants Bank; the co-branded credit card

　 B．Shanghai-based Pudong Development Bank; the platinum credit card

　 C．The Industrial and Commercial Bank of China; the dual-currency credit card

2．The number of credit cards issued in China in 2007 will reach about _____.

　 C．lose money 　　　　　　　　 D．charge holders more

　 D．More and more Chinese people will hold credit cards.

这是一篇时尚类阅读材料。由“我爱卡”网站和上海51poll.com联合进行的一项调查表明，在我国首届信用卡排名中，招行发行的双币信用卡最受宠。

1．B。事实归纳题。由第二段内容“招商银行发行的是双币信用卡；上海浦东发展银行发行的是白金信用卡；中国工商银行发行的是联名信用卡；花旗银行与上海浦东发展银行有合作关系。”可知B项正确。

2．C。数字计算题。根据第三段内容“目前，我国信用卡的流通卡数大约为3000万张， 2007年我国的信用卡流通卡数预计将翻一番。”短文中double一词很关键。

3．A。推测题。根据最后一段第一句意义：大多数银行在信用卡业务上都是亏本运作，因为很大一部分信用卡被发行之后根本没被使用。由此推测，使用的人越多，银行就越赚钱。

4．D。细节题。根据第一段最后一句“中国信用卡门户网站“我爱卡”和上海51poll.com调查公司开展了一项为期三个月的互联网和电话调查”可排除A项；第三段提到了“中国人收入的不断提高是信用卡业发展的一大动力。”并没有提到“吸引更多的外资”，可排除B项；短文最后一段提到“招行是国内目前唯一一个能在信用卡业务上赚得利润的银行。”由此可排除C项。再根据近年来持卡人数目的不断攀升可知D项正确。

　　Students are often prone to(倾向于)fall under huge credit card debt due to some common mistakes done with credit cards for students．Below are some of the common mistakes that students usually make with their student credit cards．

　　Students make many mistakes while choosing student credit card．For instance：

　　Instant sign up for the first card offer：

　　This is the most common mistake that most students tend to commit．As they step into college, they get many credit card offers from numerous credit firms．If you are not serious about this and just sign up for the first credit card offer, chances are more to lose those good offers coming after a while．Thus, wait and look out for some reasonable offers．

　　Often, students are attracted by card offers that offer goodies such as T-shirts, video games, and DVDs．Always try to avoid committing this mistake．You need to understand that these goodies are just promotional offers．Hence, always sign up after comparing and reading the terms and conditions of at least three or four credit card companies thoroughly．

　　Using beyond the credit limit：

　　This is another common mistake．Often, these credit cards come with a huge credit limit, but this does not imply to spend your entire credit limit．It is important to keep the credit card balances always below 50％ of total credit card limit．If you make use of the entire credit limit on expenditures, it may reflect on your credit report．In addition, you will have a tough time to pay off your balances on time, if you get into the habit of spending your entire limit．

　　Irregularity in Monthly Installment：

　　This is one biggest mistake, which students do with these credit cards．They ignore their monthly installments or skip them．In such cases, credit firms either increase the ARP(Annual Percentage Rate), or charge some penalty fees or withdraw all your rewards and exclusive rights．To worsen, they may even decrease your credit limit．Incurred dues are the common cause of debts due to these credit cards．

(1)

Whatever we may need to buy，we can use our credit cards．This is a change from the older days when we had to first check whether cards were accepted．Today，everybody, from retailers（零售商) to lenders，accepts credit cards．Attitudes towards credit cards have also changed a lot．People used to be
very careful of using their cards；but this is no longer the case. People today prefer to take out their cards as soon as they get to the cash counter．A swipe (刷卡) and a sign are all it takes，and you can walk home with the bill and all the things you buy．
