But she and her husband are both currently 17. And their car is in great need of 18. And then there is the matter of their second child, who is

So things are a little tense for the Baker family these days.When Shannon and her daughter were walking through a store 20lot recently, Shannon picked up an envelope from the ground that 21$4,000 in cash. There were a 22of different interpretations (explanations) that could be considered. W

The only thing she knew was that the cash in that envelope 24to someone else. Oh, and one other thing she knew: Her young daughter was 25. “My kid was stan
11、ding right there 26I found it,” Shannon told WLS-TV in Chicago. “So basically I wanted to teach my daughter how to be 27. And for me that was enough.”Never mind the bills that were 28, or the car that needed to be fixed, or the baby that would come soon. And forget that when she 29the money over to

Otherwise it will become a negative record in their pe
17、rsonal credit reports, which are playing an increasingly big role in peoples daily lives. A story carried by Chongqing Morning Post in June, underlines this trend.According to the report, a Chongqing student borrowed money from the bank to finance his university studies. After he graduated in 2005,
18、he went to work in Shenzhen. Later, he wanted to buy a house using loans. But several banks turned down his loan applications. The reason was that he had not paid back 1,500 yuan he borrowed from a bank when he was at university.A personal credit rating is becoming an essential “pass” in everyday li
19、fe, as China establishes a nationwide credit database. Personal credit systems go back 150 years. In developed countries, enterprises and banks use them to decide whether or not to loan money or do other business with a person.A credit report estimates the credit worthiness of an individual, a compa
20、ny, or even a country. It is an evaluation made by credit bureaus of a borrowers overall credit history and his or her ability to repay debt. A poor credit rating means a high risk of defaulting on a loan, and thus leads to the refusal of a loan by the lender.Today in China, credit history in banks
21、is the major content of a credit report. But in the future, reports will include information about the payment of telephone bills, water use fees, electricity and natural gas bills, and taxes, according to officials of the Peoples Bank of China, the central bank.Personal information such as appearan
22、ce, genetic data, fingerprints, blood type, disease history, ethnic identity, family and religious beliefs are not to be included in credit reports, according to a draft regulation on credit rating issued last year by the Sate Council. The authors of the draft have just finished soliciting(征求) publi
23、c opinions.The Credit Reference Center run by the Peoples Bank of China is in charge of developing a nationwide credit database. Credit reports for all people with bank transactions (交易)began in 2006.A personal credit rating is important to the social and economic activities of a person. According t
24、o the draft, if you have a personal negative credit record, it will be kept for five years.36The author took the story as an example in order to _.A.warn us of the importance of our personal credit reportB.tell us the story of a Chongqing studentC.encourage us to use credits widelyD.inform us to app
25、ly for a loan at university37Credit reports will include the following except _.A.taxesB.telephone billsC.water use feesD.genetic data38According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A.Personal credit systems go back 150 years in China.B.You can turn to the Peoples Bank of China
26、 for the information about your credit report.C.Credit history in banks is the only content of a credit report.D.Credit reports began in 2006 in China.39Whats the best title for the passage?A.A Credit Report RatingB.Credit in ChinaC.Credit Really CountsD.Credit Report ContentsChildren are delight, t
27、hey are our future. But sadly, hiring someone to take care of them when youre going to work is getting more expensive by the year.Earlier this month it was reported, that the cost of involving an infant or small kidata childcare centre rose 3percent in 2012, faster than the general cost of living. T
28、here are now large strips of the country where daycare (日托) for an infant costs more than 10% of the average married couples income.This is not necessarily a new trend, but it is somewhat puzzling me. The price of professional childcare has been rising since the 1980s. Yet during that time, pay for
29、professional childcare workers has stood still. Actually caregivers (护理员) earn less today than they did in 1990. Considering that labor costs are responsible for about 80% of a daycare centers expenses, one would infer that stable wages means stable prices.So who is to blame for higher child care co
30、sts?Childcare is a carefully regulated industry. States lay down rules about how many children each employee is allowed to watch over, the space care centers need per child, and other details. And the stricter the regulations are, the higher the costs will be. In Massachusetts, where childcare cente
31、rs must hire one teacher for every three infants, the price of care averaged more than $ 16,000 per year. In Mississippi, where centers must hire one teacher for every five infants, the price of care averaged less than $5,000.Unfortunately I dont have all the daycare center regulations, but I wouldn
32、t be surprised if as the rules have become more complicated, prices have risen. The tradeoff (交换) might be worth it in certain cases; after all, the health and safety of children should probably come before cheap service. But certainly, it doesnt seem to be an accident that some of the cheapest dayc
33、are available is in the least regulated South.40Whatproblemdo parents of small kids have to face?A.The ever-rising child care prices.B.The budgeting of family expenses.C.The balance between work and family.D.The selection of a good daycare center41What does the author feel puzzled about?A.Why the pr
34、ices of child care vary greatlyfromstate to state.B.Why increased child care prices have not led to better service.C.Why childcare workers pay has not increased with the rising childcare costsD.Why there is a severe shortage of childcare professionals in a number of states.42What prevents child care
35、 centers from saving money?A.Steady increase in labor costs.B.Strict government regulations.C.Lack ofsupportfromthe state.D.High administrative expenses.43What is the authors view on a daycare service?A.Caregivers should receive regular professional training.B.Less complicated rules about childcare
36、might lower costs.C.It is vital to strike a balance between quality and costs.D.It is better for different States to learn from each other.I was born in Korea, and my family came over to America when I was 10. Im the middle child of three girls, and my parents moved so we would experience a differen
37、t life. They did it for our education and to give us more of a chance than they had. We moved to Staten Island, and I went to the High School of Performing Arts in New York City. My parents were depressed when I told them I wanted to be an actress. My father suggested I try premed(医学预科). But after t
38、hey saw me in plays they were really proud.I graduated from Boston University and was doing theater in New York when I got cast in a Korean miniseries(电视连续剧). We started shooting the show in New York, and then went to Korea to finish it up. They said I would be there for three weeks, but it ended up
39、 being two months. The miniseries took off, and overnight, I became recognizable. It was sort of like Lost. It blew up. Then amazing projects were offered to me. I kept thinking, “ Ill do one more and then go back to the US.” I ended up staying for seven years.Some people described me as the Julia R
40、oberts of Korea, which is a bad comparison because shes the queen of romantic comedy. I became famous in Korea for a dramatic role in a film called Shiri. I played a “La Femme Nikita” type of role. I was the girl with the gunall action44The writers parents moved to America so as to _.A.offer a good
41、chance to their children.B.receive a good education in performingC.seek a successful life in AmericaD.film a Korean miniseries45When the writer announced her decision to become an actress, her parents_.A.were both in favor of herB.felt very ashamed of herC.didnt agree at firstD.took it for granted46
42、What is the second paragraph mainly about?A.The authors performing life in America.B.The difficulties of filming abroad.C.The popularity of the miniseries Lost.D.The authors first performing breakthrough.47The writer referred to the Julia Roberts of Korea as a bad comparison to show_.A.she looked do
43、wn upon Julia RobertsB.she disliked to be compared with othersC.she had a different style of performingD.she was better at dramatic roles than JuliaRain, who was born on June 2, 1982 in Seoul, South Korea, is a popular singer with a very deep and rich voice. Jung Ji Hoon is his real name, known as t
44、he “Michael Jackson of Korea” for his amazing dancing skills. Rain is very modest and friendly, even a little shy.He released his first album Bad Guy in 2002, which caused a sensation. It took him to all the major award ceremonies, and many of them honored him with Best New Award. His following albu
45、m How to Run from the Sun was successful, and his third album Its Raining topped the charts for weeks.Rain is not only a singer but also an actor, who has given impressive performances in two TV series, Sang Doo! Lets go to school(尚道，上学去)in 2003 and Full House(浪漫满屋)in 2004. Rains leading role in Ful
46、l House made him win Best Actor Award at the KBS Acting Awards and also deeply touched the hearts of many Asian female fans. At the same time it made him become one of the most popular Korean actors in Asia.Now Rain is very popular in China. Its Raining has already sold more than 100,000 copies in C
47、hina. Rain received the “Korean Artist of the Year” award at the MTV - CCTV Mandarin Music Honors held on July 24, 2005 at the Workers Stadium in Beijing, China. His recent Beijing concert caused a great hit, creating “Korean Fever” in China.48The reason why Jung Ji Hoon is called “Michael Jackson o
48、f Korea” is that _.A.he is a popular singer with a rich voiceB.his dancing skills are amazingC.he is very modest and friendlyD.he shares the same name with Michael Jackson49What would be the best title for this passage?A.Michael Jackson of Korea -RainB.Jung Ji Hoons First Album Bad GuyC.Rain, a Sing

51、ok written for Michael Jackson.A woman was in a hurry to go to the airport. She told the cab driver to drive quickly. She was so absorbed in her own thoughts that she was not aware that they was going by a different route.Suddenly, a man got inside the cab. He took her handbag where she had placed h
52、er visa, passport, and all her money for the trip. The driver, who was in cahoots with the robber, left her in the middle of the dark street. She cursed the world for being so mean to her and thought how unlucky she was in that situation.That very same night, she heard some shocking news. Tears flow
53、ed down her face. Flight 230, which was the plane that she was supposed to have boarded, had crashed. If she had not lost her precious belongings, she could have lost something far more important-her life.Sometimes bad things really happen. We lose money, fail our exams, or are rejected by others. T
54、here are times when nothing seems to go our way.So what should we do about it? Should we be disappointed? The answer is a resounding “No!” We must get rid of all these frustrations and start all over again in the consistent faith that we will get what we deserve.Dont waste your time and energy on th
55、ings that cant be changed. Continuous worrying will only affect your health and youll be doing much more damage than what was previously done.What if it was the other way around? What if we never ran out of good luck?There was a man who won the lottery. He thought he was the luckiest person in the w
56、orld. He became greedy and wasted all his money on everything he could get his hands on. One day, he made it to the front page of the newspaper again. But this time, it was a different story. He had been killed because of his riches.If you attain good luck, you can never be too secure about it. Hope
57、 for protection and guidance. Life is so unpredictable. You never know what will happen next.Live one day at a time. We sometimes subject ourselves to unnecessary emotional trouble. We ask ourselves: “What if I dont get this done in time?” or “What if my family leave me and Ive got no one else to tu
58、rn to?”Live for the moment. Do what must be done for the present and the future will turn out just fine. Believe me. And believe in yourself.

If you
62、 cant remember what you read or study, it will be a waste of time. 56 One useful aid that does help you remember what you study is to have a specific purpose or reason for reading.Why does a clerk in a store go away when your reply to her offer to help is, No, thank you, Im just looking.? Both you a
63、nd she know that if you arent sure what you want, you are not likely to find it. But suppose you say instead, Yes, thank you. I want a pair of sun glasses. She says, Right this way, please.” Its quite the same with your studying. If you choose a book, just looking for nothing in particular, you are
64、likely to get just thatnothing. 57Your reasons will vary; they will include reading or studying to find out more about, to understand the reasons for and to find out how58Before you start to study, you say to yourself something like this, I want to know why Stephen Vincent Benet happened to write ab
65、out AmericaBecause you know why you are reading or studying, you relate the information to your purpose and remember it betterReading is not one single activity. 59As you read, you take in ideas rapidly and accurately. But at the same time you express your own ideas to yourself as you react to what
66、you read. You have a kind of mental conversation with the authorThis additional process of thinking about what you read includes evaluating it, relating it to what you already know, and using it for your own purposes. 60One part of critical reading, as you have discovered, is distinguishing between
67、facts and opinions. Facts can be checked by evidence. Opinions are ones own personal reactionsAnother part of critical reading is judging sources.
