  Most American students have said goodbye to expensive fruits these days.Cheaper fruits like apples and oranges have taken their place.

  “People are afraid to spend now,”said Linda Morrow, who has a shoe and handbag store.“They don't know what the future will bring.”

  During the financial crisis(金融危机), some of the country's biggest banks have to be sold or closed.This has made lots of Americans afraid to buy expensive goods.

  Samara Marino, a restaurant owner in Miami, has found everyone is ordering water instead of juice and more people are sharing meals.

  Experts(专家)think it was because US banks lend money too easily.A lot of people and companies, who borrowed money, have found themselves, unable to pay it back.This left the banks, as well as the people who put their money in the banks, without money.Since the banks borrowed money between themselves and even from other countries, the whole world was in trouble.

  This month the US government agreed on a $ 700 billion plan to try to save the financial market(市场).But no one is sure whether it will help or not.Many counties promised to work together to find a way out of the money trouble.
