6.1.If your parents take out a loan,remind themselves to make the payments on time.Otherwise it will become a negative record in their personal credit reports,which are playing an in-creasingly big role in people's daily lives.A story carried by Chongqing Morning Post in June,underlines this trend.
2.According to the report,a Chongqing student borrowed money from the bank to finance his university studies.After he graduated in 2005,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 1,500yuan he borrowed from a bank when he was at university.
3.A personal credit rating is becoming an essential‘pass'in everyday life,as China establishes a nationwide credit data-base.Personal credit systems go back 150years.In developed countries,enterprises and banks use them to decide whether or not to loan money or do other business with a person.
4.A credit report estimates the credit worthiness of an indi-vidual,a company,or even a country.It is an evaluation made by credit bureaus of a borrower's 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.
5.Today in China,credit history in banks is the major con-tent 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 People's Bank of China,the central bank.
6.Personal information such as appearance,genetic data,fingerprints,blood type,disease history,ethnic identity,fami-ly and religious beliefs are not to be included in credit bank.
7.Personal information such as appearance,genetic data,fingerprints,blood type,disease history,ethnic identity,fami-ly 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)public opinions.
8.The Credit Reference Center run by the People's Bank of China is in charge of developing a nationwide credit database.Credit reports for all people with bank transactions(交易)be-gan in 2006.
A personal credit rating is important to the social and eco-nomic activities of a person.According to the draft,if you have a personal negative credit record,it will be kept for five years.

46.The author took the story as an example in order toB.

4.Inside the pleasingly fragrant cafe,So All May Eat(SAME) in downtown Denver,the spirit of generosity(慷慨)is instantly noticeable:A donation box stands in place of a cash register.Customers here pay only what they can afford,no questions asked.A risky business plan,perhaps,but SAME Café has done one unchangeable thing in the Mile High City for six years:Open only at midday,the restaurant provides poor local can instead volunteer as waiters and waitresses,and dishwashers,or took after the buildings and equipment for the cafe.
"It's based on trust,and it's working all right",says co-owner Brad Birky,who started the café in 2006.With his wife Libby.Previously volunteering at soup kitchens,the Birkys were dissatisfied with the often unhealthy meals they served there."We wanted to offer quality food in a restaurant where everyone felt comfortable,regardless of their circumstances,"Birky says.SAME's special lunch menu changes daily and most food materials are natural and grown by local farmers.The café now averages 65 to 70 customers (and eight volunteers) a day.And the spirit of generosity behind the project appears to be spreading.In early 2007,one volunteer who had cleared snow for his meals during the long winter said goodbye to the Birkys,"He said he was going to New Orleans to help with the hurricane clear up,"says Birky.
