The worst thing is the headlines. I use the underground almost every day and watch the people travel, their heads  1  in the{r newspapers. The headlines today  2  suicide (自杀) bombers and of horrific attacks that they say  3  by members of our community.

Something on the journey is  4 . I am not  5  anything that would indicate I am a Muslim. I normally do not  6  it is Friday and I am on my way to prayers. 7  I sense an uneasiness in the carriage. People are  8 . No one is speaking and it must be said that no one is being  9  unfriendly towards me. But I think the  10 I get are different. I am being checked out, sized up. It is all a bit uncomfortable.

People are looking around for things and people  11  look suspicious (可疑的). I am doing it a bit 12  and in the coming days, as more claims are made about the people who did this and their aims, that feeling is likely to get  13 . As you look around the  14 , it is difficult to know what people are thinking. Some are  15  thinking “those Muslims come here and look what they do" but they 16  understand we condemn (谴责) this like everyone else.

Whoever did this didn't  17  about who was killed or whether they were Christian or Muslim. They just had no respect 18  human life at all. We all travel around London and we use public transport. We have as much fear as anyone else about  19  in something. But in the coming days, everyone is going to have to work together and keep calm. We will look out for each other and that's how we. will  20  this difficulty.

  Buy now, pay later.Credit cards give people that choice.Those billions of small pieces of plastic in use all over the world make it easy to buy things.But people who use credit cards irresponsibly can soon find themselves heavily in debt.

  Cardholders may not think about it, but they borrow money from a bank or other lender each time they charge something.They avoid interest charges if they pay their bill in full each month.But if they only make the minimum payment, the lowest required, it may take years to pay off a debt.Interest is continually charged on the unpaid balance.

  A credit card may have a number of costs.First, there is the interest charge on purchases, known as the annual percentage rate, or A.P.R.In the United States right now, the average is between thirteen and fourteen to keep them.

  Cardholders may have to pay cash advance fees if they withdraw money from a credit card.There are also fees if they go over their credit limit, or if a payment is late.Lenders may also raise interest rates as punishment.

  In the United States, credit card fees have become a political issue.Congress has threatened to take action against what critics call abusive behavior by lenders.

  Yet getting a credit card has become a lot easier for most people.Maybe too easy:People receive offers in the mail of pre-approved cards that they never asked for.Many cards offer low rates at first, especially if people agree to move their balance from another card, absolutely for free.

  About half of all Americans have at least two credit cards.And the credit rating agency Experian says fourteen percent of the population has more than ten.

  Jeanne Hogarth at the Federal Reserve, the central bank, says the average family has four credit cards.But families that carry a balance, meaning they do not pay off their statements each month, have an average of five.

  In nineteen eighty-eight Americans had three hundred thirty billion dollars in credit card debt.Last year it was eight hundred forty billion.

  In the latest government study, the average credit card debt for all households was more than three thousand dollars.But for those that carried a balance, the average was five thousand three hundred.

  Wind, water, fire and ice-these powerful natural forces have shaped the land of America in the past.They are still changing it today.

  The Colorado River slowly cut down through stone to make the Grand Canyon(大峡谷).

  Long ago, ice sheets cut Yosemite Valley and the Great Lakes, and glaciers(冰川)are still on the move in Alaska.

  Wind and rain storm hit the land from time to time.Fires sometimes burn down forests and destroy the homes of wild animals.This happened in Yellowstone Park in 1988.

  Dead volcanic mountains such as Haleakala on Maui and Carter Lakein Oregon are beautiful to look at.But there are several active volcanoes in the US, especially along the Pacific Coast.There are also many earthquakes in this area.Scientists can do nothing to control earthquakes or volcanoes.This was shown clearly on May 18, 1980.At 8∶32 that morning, Mount St Helens in Washington state broke out.The top of the mountain was blown off.

  Over 60 people-campers, scientists, journalists, forest workers-were killed.Hundreds of square miles of forests were knocked down.In towns over 100 miles away, day suddenly became night.An ash cloud hid the sun for many hours.Towns and fields in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho were covered with dirty gray ash.

  Scientists knew that Mt St Helens might erupt(爆发)soon.But no one could say when.And no one expected the terrible strength of the eruption.Many people were surprised and unready.Harry R.Truman, 84, owned a small hotel in Mt St Helens.Scientists had asked people to move away because the volcano was becoming dangerous.

  But Harry Truman would not leave his home.Now it is covered with many feet of dirty ash.A small cross stands above the place where Harry probably died.Perhaps it is better that he did not see the destruction of Mt St Helens, the once beautiful lake, and the forests.

  But slowly, life is returning to the dead area around the mountain.Grass and small plants are beginning to grow again.Deer and birds have been seen.The land will never be the same as it once was.Perhaps Mt St Helens will erupt again.But this is all part of nature's pattern of change, and man has little power to control it.
