　　Australia, the last continent, was discovered by ships belonging to some European nations in the seventeenth century. These nations were less interested in changing it into a colony（殖民地）than in exploring(勘探)it. As in the early history of the United States, it was the English who set up the settlements（新拓居地）in Australia. This history and the geography of these two British colonies have some other things in common as well.

　　Australia and the United States are about the same in size, and their western lands are both not rich in soil, It was the eastern coast of Australia and America that the English first settled, and both colonies soon began to develop towards the west. However, this westward movement took place more because the English were searching for better land than because the population was increasing. Settlements of the western part of both countries developed quickly after gold was discovered in America in 1849 and in Australia two years later.

　　Although the development of these two countries has a lot in common, there are some striking differences as well. The United States gained its independence from England by revolution while Australia won its independence without having to go to war. Australia, unlike the United States, was firstly turned into a colony by English prisoners and its economic development was in wheat growing and sheep raising. By 1922, for example, Australia had fifteen times more sheep than it had people, or almost half as many sheep as there are people today in the United States. Yet, in spite of these and other main differences, Australia and the United States have more in common with each other than either one has with most of the rest of the world.

I walked alongside my father, clutching his right hand．All my clothes were new: the black shoes, the green school uniform, and the red cap．They did not make me happy, however, as tins was the day I was to be thrown into school for the first time．I tried in vain lo convince him that I did nothing wrong all the way, but it didn’t help．
When we．arrived at the sate we could see the courtyard, vast and full of boys and girls．I hesitated and clung to his hand, but he gently pushed me from him．"Be a man, "he said．"today you truly begin your life．You will find me waiting for you when it’s time to leave．"
I took a few steps．Then the faces of the boys and girls came into view．I did not know a single one of them, and none of them knew me．I felt I was a stranger who had lost his way．But then some boys began to glance at me in curiosity, and one of them came over and asked, " Who brought you? "
"My father," I whispered．
’’My father’s dead, " he said simply．
I did not know what to say．The gate was now closed．Some of the children burst into tears．The bell rang．A lady came along, followed by a group of men．The men began soiling us into ranks．We were formed into an intricate pattern in the great courtyard surrounded by high buildings．
Well, it seemed that my misgivings had had no basis．From the first moments I made many friends and fell in love with many girls．I had never imagined school would have this rich variety of experiences．
We played all sorts, of games．In the music room we sang our first songs．We also had our first introduction to language．We saw a globe of Earth, which revolved and showed the various continents and countries．We started lean-line numbers, and we were told the story of the Creator of the universe．We ate delicious food, took a little nap, and woke up to go on with friendship and love, playing and learning．
Our path, however, was not totally sweet and unclouded．We had to be observant and patient．It was not all a matter of playing and fooling around． Rivalries could bring about pain and hatred or give rise to fighting．And while the lady would sometimes smile, she would often yell and scold．Even more frequently
she would resort to physical punishment．
The bell rang, announcing the passing of the day and the end of work．The children rushed toward the gate, which was opened again．I said goodbye to friends and sweethearts and passed through the gate．I looked around but found no trace of my father, who had promised to be there．I stepped aside to wait.

     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 increasingly big role in
people's 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, 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 life, 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 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.
     Today in China, credit history in banks 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 People's Bank of China, the central bank.
     Personal information such as appearance, 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) public opinions.
     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)began in 2006.
     A personal credit rating is important to the social and economic activities of a person. According
to the draft, if you have a personal negative credit record, it will be kept for five years.
1. The author took the story as an example in order to ________.
A. tell us the story of a Chongqing student
B. warn us of the importance of our personal credit report
C. encourage us to use credits widely
D. inform us to apply for a loan at university
2. Credit reports will include the following except ________.

A. taxes                  
B. telephone bills
C. genetic data              
D. water use fees

3. According to the passage, which of the following statements    is TRUE?
A. Personal credit systems go back 150 years in China.
B. Credit reports began in 2006 in China.
C. Credit history in banks is the only content of a credit report.
D. You can turn to the People's Bank of China for the information about your credit report.
4. What's the best title for the passage?
A. Credit Really Counts    
B. Credit in China
C. A Credit Report Rating    
D. Credit Report Contents
