18.Every day we watch TV or read magazines or newspapers to get more information.But what are the advantages or disadvantages of the two media?(16)B Watching them is pleasant and does not require the effort of reading.If television did not cover the news,some people would know nothing about what is going on in the world.

(20)E However,a person who has individual interests and who wants the whole story needs newspapers and magazines as well.

3.Derek Wayne has obtained a 30-year,fixed-rate home loan of 100,000with an annual interest rate of 7.5percent.Because the loan extends for such a lengthy period,the mortgage(抵押) company calculates a monthly payment that ensures it will get most of its interest back first.Thus in the beginning months,Wayne's principal payment-the amount he pays toward his actual loan-increases extremely slowly.
Let's analyze Wayne's early payments.Imagine that on December 15the Mauritanian Mortgage Corporation gives Wayne 100,000,and on January 15his initial payment is due.Throughout this first month,interest accumulates on the entire 100,000.On a yearly interest rate of 7.5%,Wayne's monthly rate is 0.625% or 7.5%divided by 12.Multiplying 100,000by 0.625% yields 625,the portion of Wayne's first monthly payment that is interest.So Wayne now owes 99,925.79 ( 100,625-699.21).His February interest payment will be 0.625% of 99,925.79.
By the time Wayne makes his last few payments,his monthly interest payment has decreased considerably.His balance following his 359th payment is 694.87,and 0.625% of that is about 4.34,his final interest payment.What was the total amount of interest Wayne paid?Multiplying 360months by 699.21equals 251,715.60,and subtracting 100,000(the loan amount) leaves 151,715.60-over 1.5times what he actually borrowed!
