听力原文：M: Morning, Alice. Still having problems with your faucet？

W: No, got that fixed. But I have another headache—trying to make a decision about credit cards. Well, I need one but which one？

M: Yes, that is tricky, especially since the rates are not standard.

W: That's fight. What people don't realize is that the credit associations like Visa and MasterCard don't issue credit cards or set terms and interest rates individual banks do,

M: So you will need to investigate what interest rates are charged by different issuers.

W: Yes, also how the rates are actually calculated, I think.

M: Alice, you should remember to ask them what roles you must follow to maintain these rates. If you don't pay off your bill, all new charges will begin rising immediately.

W: Yes, that's another problem and banks charge varying amounts for annual membership, late payments and exceeding your credit line.

M: You know, I read somewhere that 70% of people with credit cards pay interest on their purchases and only about 2% of the cardholders knew the interest rate they were being charged. Nearly all credit card debt carries an interest rate of 24% or less.

W: Wow, I guess I should ask a few hard questions.

Beijing’s persistent smog seems to have put a dent in the city’s appeal to tourists. Last year, Beijing Youth Daily reported that the number of visitors to Beijing had fallen 50 percent in the first nine months of 2013, compared with a year earlier; the newspaper attributed the decline, at least in part, to the city’s infamously bad air quality. Hiring managers in China also report greater difficulty (subscription required) attracting mid-career expats to Beijing, especially those with young children.

The blanket of toxic smog hasn’t hurt Beijing’s office market, which jumped up three notches on a global ranking by Cushman & Wakefield to become the fourth-most-expensive location to rent office space in the world. According to the real estate firm’s “Office Space Around the World 2014” report, office space in Beijing’s Central Business District costs on average €1,027 ($1,412) per square meter per year.

That’s more expensive than No. 5-ranked central Tokyo (€1,003; $1,380) or No. 6-ranked Madison & Fifth Avenues in New York (€Euros; $1,366). Cushman & Wakefield’s rankings took into consideration both published rental rates and “additional costs,” which includes agent fees and other costs of doing business.

London (West End) remains the world’s most expensive city in which to rent office space, with total costs running €2,122 ($2,919) per sq. m. annually. Hong Kong, home to the priciest office space in Asia, came in second globally (€1,432; $1,970). Moscow ranked third (€1,092; $1,502).

The cities included in the ranking that experienced the highest annual growth in office rental rates were both in South Africa: Rental rates in Durban’s Central Business District spiked 40 percent, and rates in Sandton, the financial district of Johannesburg, rose 44 percent.

A.The cost of the office space is too high

B.The air pollution became worse
