41、案：(正确答案： Will Credit Cards Do Harm to College Students? College students are facing large amount of credit card debt nowadays, and some even cant pay off their debts when they graduate from college to begin a new life. This has greatly hampered their personal development. However, a financial expert
42、 holds having a credit card may be beneficial to college students in that it helps them build a credit history. In my opinion, credit cards are in deed good for students if they are used appropriately. First, when a student uses credit cards, he neednt bring much cash with him every day. And the les
43、s cash he brings, the less he needs to worry about being stolen. Second, using credit cards can minimize the chances of receiving forged notes. Students are not quite good at distinguishing forged notes, and thus often become victims of coiners. If they use credit cards, it will be very possible for
44、 them to avoid receiving forged notes because they dont need to get the changes. Third, using credit cards can help students to know more about credit. If they dont repay their credit account in time, they will have to pay more interests and whats worse, they will get a bad credit record which will
45、bring inconvenience to them in me future. Therefore, I believe that credit cards will not do harm to college students if used reasonably.)解析：4.Which is a better choice, to buy a house on mortgage or to rent a house?
