For questions 61 to 65, match name of each speaker to one of the statements (A to C) given your answers on your ANSWER SHEET. Mark Lilla Young consumers often have not established their credit ratings. Many do not have steady ines. They might have difficulty borrowing money from an agency in business to make loans. Parents or relatives are usually their best source of loans. Of course, the parents or relatives would have to have money available and be willing to lend it. You might even get an interestfree loan. However,a parent or relative who lends should receive interest the same as any other lender. Chris Roddy For most consumers the cheapest place to borrow is at a mercial bank. Banks are a good source of installment loans which may run for 12 months or up to 36. Most banks also make singlepayment loans to consumers for short periods30, 60, or 90 days. A typical interest rate is 3 cents per $100 per day. Suppose that you used $100 of your credit and repaid it in 30 days. The cost would be 90 cents.

Usually the amount of money received is far less than the actual value of the item left. When a borrower repays the loan plus interest, the pawnbroker returns the item. If the loan is not paid within a year, the pawnbroker gets his or her money by selling the item. Jodie Morse When money is urgently needed, people may agree to pay any price for a loan. Too late, they may find themselves in the clutches of loan sharks. A loan shark is an unlicensed lender because their rates are higher than the law allows, sometimes 1,000 percent or more a year. Borrowers are hardly ever able to repay their loans. It is all they can do to pay the interest. Borrowers who fail to pay the interest on time have been threatened with injury. Now match each of the persons to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. Statements 61. Mark Lilla [A] A person can borrow as much as his life insurance39。s viewpoint. The reason why assertiveness may not e naturally is that we often tend to believe that we must talk around a subject rather than be direct, or that we must offer excuses or justifications forour actions. In fact we all have a right to use assertive behaviour in a variety of situations. We are often schooled early in life to believe that sometimes our own need to express ourselves must take secondary place. For example, in dealing with those in privileged positions such as specialists, we often feel that speaking assertively is, in some way, breaking the rules. Everybody has certain basic human rights, but often we feel guilty about exercising them. 56. According to the passage, an assertive person ________. [ A ] makes other people feel unfairly treat
