"Welcome to the U. S. A. ! Major credit cards are accepted!"
By the millions they are coming no longer the tired, the poor, the wretched masses longing for a better living. These are the wealthy. "We don’t have a budget," says a biologist from Brazil, as she walks with two companions through New York City’ s South Street." We just use our credit cards."
The US has long been one of the world’ s most popular tourist destinations, but this year has been exceptional. First, there was the World Cup, which drew thousands from every comer of the globe; then came the weakening of the US dollar against major currencies. Now the US, still the world’ s superpower, can also claim to be the world’ s bargain basement(廉价商品).
Nobody undersells America
these days on just about everything, from consumer electronics to fashion clothes to tennis rackets. Bottom retail prices anywhere from 30 % to 70% lower than those in Europe and Asia have attracted some 47 million visitors, who are expected to leave behind $ 79 billion in 1994. That’ s up from $ 74 billion the year before.
True, not everyone comes just for bargains. There remains an undeniable fascination in the rest of the world with all things American, nourished by Hollywood films and US television series. But shopping the USA is proving irresistible. Every week thousands arrive with empty suitcases ready to be filled; some even rent an additional hotel room to hold their purchases. The buying binge(无节制)has become as important as watching Old Faithful Fountains erupt in Yellowstone Park or sunbathing on a beach in Florida.
The US has come at last to appreciate what other countries learned long ago: the pouring in of foreign tourists may not always be convenient, but it does put money in the bank. And with a trade deficit at about $130 billion and growing for the past 12 months, the US needs all the deposits it can get. Compared with American tourists abroad, visitors to the US stay longer and spend more money at each stop; an average of 12.2 night and $ 1624 a traveler versus the Americans’ four nights and $ 298. [br] From what the Brazilian biologist says, we know that tourists like her______.
选项
A、are reluctant to carry cash with them
B、simply don’ t care how much they spend
C、are not good at planning their expenditure
D、often spend more money than they can afford
答案
B
解析
原文第二段提到现在涌入的是富人(These are the wealthy),所以当她说“We don’t have a budget,we just use our credit cards”是指花钱不用做预算,想买就用信用卡,其暗含的意思就是选项B所表达的信息。故本题的正确答案是B。
