    How do you pay for things? Do you usually use cash(现金), or do you like to pay by credit card(信用卡)? If you are like a lot of people, you probably have at least one credit card. Also, you might use it more often than you probably should.
    Credit cards first became popular in the 1920s, At that time, businesses, such as hotels and companies, gave credit cards to their best customers(顾客). Unlike today's credit cards, customers could only use these cards at the Store or business that gave out the card. Customers had to pay for things in full. They couldn't pay for something a little at a time.
    In 1950, a businessman named McNamara started a credit card company — Diners Club. Unlike earlier credit cards, this card could be used by customers at many restaurants. Customers liked the card because they didn't have to carry a lot of cash with them. Restaurant owners liked the card, too. Why? They found out that customers usually spent more money when they could pay by credit card.
    In its first year of business, Diners Club issued 200 cards, The customers who got the cards from the Diners Club could use them at 27 different restaurants. Today, Diners Club has about 8 million customers, and they can use their cards in over 7. 6 million businesses in more than 200 countries.

    A reader wrote in to say that she was feeling lonely at break because her best friend
    wasn’t around．Here’s our advice to her—and to all kids who feel lonely sometimes．
    It’s hard when a best friend isn’t around—maybe because she moved to a different
    school or a different class．You may feel lonely at break or lunchtime．You want to have new
    friends．but how do you make them? Maybe it seems like everybody else already has their
    friends．But remember, there’s always room for more friends．   。．
    Start by looking around your classroom—think about which kids you’d like to play
    with at break．Look for chances to say hi to them，smile，and be friendly．Offer to share
    something or express your appreciation(欣赏)to them．Invite someone to play with you or
    say “Do you want to sit here?” in the lunchroom．When you’re at break，walk over to kids
    you want to play with．act friendly，and say “Hi，can l play, too?” or just join in．
    If you have trouble doing this or if you’re feeling shy, ask your teacher to help you make
    new friends．Teachers are usually pretty good at matching up friends．The best way to make
    friends is to be a friend．Be kind，be friendly，share，say nice things，offer to help—and pretty soon，you’ll have one，or two，or even more new friends.
    You might still miss that special best friend．But when you see each other, you can share
    something you didn’t have before she left：You can introduce her to your new friends!
