25、air there.(Hed have to carry an oxygen tank，as astronauts do.) Theres no food on the moon，either. Nothing grows not even weeds.If the man on the moon liked to climb mountains，he would be very happy. There are many high places there，such as the raised land around the holes，or craters，of the moon.

33、irst half of the twentieth century. Today, a large number of families in Great Britain buy furniture, household goods and cars by installments.

34、 an article bought on installments is always higher than the price that would be paid by cash. There is a charge for interest.

35、he full price is paid up. The legal ownership of the goods remains with the seller until the final payment has been made. Installment buying has advantages and disadvantages. It can help couples with small incomes to furnish their homes and start housekeeping. It increases the demand for goods, and

37、ble to make their payments.

If businessmen lose money or fail to make a satisfactory profit, it becomes more likely to have a depr

38、ession (萧条).

Which of the following is NOT TRUE about the installment plan?A.

39、 A lot of British families use the installment plan.B. More than 10 percent of American families buy things on installments.C. Americans depend more on installment than British people do.D.

40、nsive than goods bought by cash because A. the buyer has to pay extra money as interestB. the delivery of the goods charges extra moneyC. the buyer has to pay a down paymentD. the service offered by installment plan charged extra money38.
