The text readings discuss the term structure of interest rates. This is a fancy way of saying the difference in yield or interest rates for a bond that will mature in perhaps 30 years versus a bond that will mature in 10 years or 1 year. You can create a graph to show this difference.With this in mind, please do research on the internet and post the yield to maturity for a 1 year US Treasury Bond, a 10 year US Treasury Bond. Then find the yield to maturity for comparable Gilt. Gilts are the name for UK Government bonds. So you would locate the yield for a 1 year Gilt and a 10 year Gilt.
