听力材料：　　Passage One
　　One hundred and thirteen million Americans have atleast one bank-issued [26]credit card. They givetheir owners automatic credit in stores, restaurants,and hotels at home, across the country, and evenabroad, and they make banking services available aswell. More and more of these credit cards can beread automatically, making it possible to withdraw or deposit money in scattered locations,whether or not the local branch bank is open. For many of us [27]the "cashless society" is noton the horizon-it's already here.
　　While [26/28]computers offer these conveniences to consumers, they have many advantagesfor sellers too. Electronic cash registers can do much more than simply ring up sales. They cankeep a wide range of records, including who sold what, when, and to whom. This informationallows businessmen to keep track of their list of goods by showing which items are being soldand how fast they are moving. At the same time these computers record which hours arebusiest and which employees are the most efficient, allowing personnel and staffingassignments to be made accordingly. And they also identify preferred customer forpromotional campaigns. Numerous other commercial enterprises, from theaters to magazinepublishers, from gas and electric utilities to milk processors, bring better and more efficientservices to consumers through the use of computers.
　　Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.
　　26. What does the credit card enable its owner to do?
　　正确答案：B

　　28. What is this passage mainly about?
　　正确答案：B
　　解析：由选项预测本题可能是主旨题。根据conveniences to consumers和many advantages for sellerstoo总结出B为答案。
