13．①The past year，which is fast becoming just a memory，is the year I drove through the car wash at fifty miles an hour．At least，it felt like fifty miles an hour．
②That day I followed the attendant's instructions，drove to one of those do-it-yourself car washes．I forgot that my car was a bit moody．I'd been meaning to have it checked，but it didn't happen often enough to rush me to the garage．Anyway，then unexpectedly，suddenly we picked up speed before the astonished eyes of the attendant．The car shot through the wash cycle，the wax（蜡）cycle，and the dry cycle at a ridiculous rate of speed，and then aimed for the street at the end of the tunnel．We shot through the tunnel with what seemed like the speed of sound and rushed out into the street while I was relieved to see that no cars were approaching．The water and the wax had not yet dried-the car looked as if it had caught some terrible disease．
③"What happened then？"Bobbie asked after I had told my family the story at an evening meal．
④"Nothing，"I said．
⑤"Didn't you go back to the car wash？"
⑥"Of course not，"I replied．
⑦"I don't blame you，"Peter said．"They might have arrested you for speeding in a car wash．"
⑧We all laughed．It was a nice moment．We were relaxing after the dishes had been taken away，the pleasant smell of coffee filling the air．We had been talking about the past year and，without pausing to think of the possible consequences，I had told them about my experience with the car wash．
⑨The story delighted the children-who are no longer children．Peter and Bobbie are married，in fact，and I realized I had given them a sort of philosophy of life for the future．I could imagine them，years from now，when they gather together and one of them will say，"Remember the time Dad drove through that car wash …？"
⑩Other things happened last year，too，because each year has its events，the good and the bad，the sweet and the sorrowful，the ordinary and the terrific．The milestones and the small incidents stand side by side，fundamentally different in quality or kind，perhaps，but making a sweet kind of harmony．

66．The description of the second paragraph brings up images ofA．
A．disorder   B．diseases   C．storms   D．conflict
67．Which of the following is NOT included in Paragraph 8？D
A．The subject of the discussion．
B．The atmosphere of the family talk．
C．The time when the talk occurred．
D．The reason for the car to lose control．
68．Which of the following can serve as the title of the passage？B
A．A reflection on car trade
B．A memory of the past year
C．A lesson on driving cars
D．A car accident at a car wash．
14．When asked to point out one or two things that are most important to themselves，many put friends ahead of homes，jobs，clothes and cars．
A true friendship carries a long history of experience that determines who we are and keeps us connected．It is a treasure we should prove it．Unfortunately，the better friends you are，the more probably you'll have disagreements．And the result can be what you don't want an end to the relationship．
The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended．First，don't let your pride get in your way．Most of us can forgive each other when differences are brought out in the open．Second，apologize when you're wrong-even if you've been wronged．Over the course of friendship，even the best people make mistakes．Sometimes，it may be best if the   wronged person takes wrong．Third，see things from your friend's point of view．And finally，accept that friendships changes as our needs and lifestyles change．Making friends can sometimes seem easy．The hard part is keeping the connections strong during the nature ups and downs that have an effect on all relationships．My suggestion：Consider friendship an honor and a gift，and worth the effort to treasure and nurture．

33．What would be the best title for the text？C

C．we treat our disagreements wisely
D．we have know one another for long．
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．

8．I came from a family that never liked to waste money，and my parents taught me that living within my budget was the most important thing．
I had a very comfortable childhood，and never felt the need to throw away money on unnecessary things．
But things changed in my twenties，when I found myself in a city with plenty of food and shopping attractions!I burned through my income in the department stores on Saturday mornings，then burned through my credit cards at the night clubs on Saturday nights．Before too long，I was deeply in debt and constantly borrowing more money from my friends．It was during this time that I reflected on my behaviour，and decided that life was a lot more comfortable when you weren；t continually stressed about money．
For me，being thrifty （节俭）is not about being short on money．It's about being smart with your money so you can enjoy your life to is fullest．I love recycling and getting back to nature，and teaching the kids about eco-friendly and responsible living．
Whether I like it or not，my natural feeling is to find ways to do everything for less．Less money，less time and less stress!
