Most American students have said goodbye to expensive fruits these days. In school, cheaper fruits
like apples and oranges have taken their place. "People are afraid to spend now and they don't know what
the future will bring." said Linda Morrow, who owns a shoe and handbag store. In many interviews with
The Associated Press across the country, Americans talked about their concerns, from worrying about
small businesses to being anxious about simply making ends meet (维持生计). Samira Marino, a restaurant
owner in Miami, has found everyone is ordering water instead of juice and more people are sharing meals.
During the financial crisis (金融危机), several of the country's biggest banks have been forced to sell
or close. This has made lots of Americans afraid to buy expensive goods, The US government agreed on a
$700 billion plan to try to save the financial market. But no one is sure whether it will help or not.
The crisis began last year. Experts think it was because US banks lend money too easily. Last year a lot
of people and companies, who borrowed money, have found themselves unable to pay it back. This left the
banks, as well as the people who put their money in the banks, without money. Since the banks borrowed
money between themselves and even other countries, the whole world was in trouble.
