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.

Desk Clock
At work,in an atmosphere filled with deadlines and lots of work,a desk clock could be really helpful.So a desk clock could be a good gift for your teachers.There are different desk clocks available in the market or you could even search online for desk clocks of different shapes and sizes.(74)C

Cleadale,Isle of Eigg,Inner Hebrides
Is this Britain's most beautiful campsite?From the grassy point looking seaward to the mountains,it's not hard for campers to see how the island inspired The Lord of the Rings author's fantasy landscapes.The campsite itself is as wild and wonderful as its setting.
Open April-September,from£5per tent per night.
Swattesfield,Thornham Magna,Suffolk
Deep in the wilds of north Suffolk,this seven-acre campsite has only been open for a few years,with two fields separated by a lake and surrounded by woodland.The position is perfect.It's a great place to do nothing but get into nature.You can put up your tent in the bottom field or the woodland beyond.
Open Easter-October,from£10per tent per night.
Pleasant Streams Farm,near St Austell,Cornwall
This site,by a lake,is all about simple pleasures.Located in the former mining village,it has a summerhouse(凉亭)with books and games for a rainy day.There are many animals including pigs,hens,goats and ducks on the farm and a pub just a 10-minute stroll away.There's very little to do here,no bells and no whistles.Campfires are encouraged.

8.Through the wonders of modern technology,our world is more connected than ever before.Ideas can cross oceans with the click of a button.Companies can do business and compete with companies across the globe.And we can text,email,Skype with people on every continent.
So studying abroad isn't just a fun way to spend a semester; it is quickly becoming the key to success in our global economy.Because getting ahead in today's work places isn't just about getting good grades or test scores in school,which are important.It's also about having real experience with the world beyond your borders--experience with languages,cultures and societies very different from your own.Or,as the Chinese saying goes:"It is better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books."
But let's be clear,studying abroad is about so much more than improving your own future.It's also about shaping the future of your countries and of the world we all share.Because when it comes to the defining challenges of our time--whether it's climate change or economic opportunity or the spread of nuclear weapons--these are shared challenges.And no one country can confront them alone.The only way forward is together.

An increasing number of students fall in love at an early age and create problems with their studies,which has aroused the school's attention.A middle school has set a"distance for civilized communication"between boy and girl students.Boys and girls should keep a distance of at least 50 centimeters when they talk in public,otherwise they will be criticized or get an even severer punishment,says an article in Beijing News.
It seems that the school has passed the school regulation to prevent girls and boys from falling in love at an early age and creating problems for the school authorities.Some teachers and parents approve of the regulation because it is of vital importance to the teenagers'study.However,many experts say the problem,if it is one,can be better solved through communication.
It is natural for a teenager to have a feeling of love on someone from the opposite sex.It is natural for girls and boys to be attracted to each other as they mature sexually.
In fact,normal communication between boy and girl students is good not only for their emotional development and personality refinement,but also for their relationship when they grow up.

1.作文中可以参照阅读材料的内容,但不得直接引用原文中的句子.
2.作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称.
From the article,we know a school has set a regulation about civilized communication between boys and girls to prevent students falling in love at an early age,which has caused different opinions.
In our daily school life some students can't resist the opposite gender's attraction,disturbing themselves.With such a school rule carried out,it's of great help for them to take control of themselves and realize the harm of abnormal communication.Meanwhile,however,it's not good for the students'emotional development and normal relationship.
Personally,I hold a right attitude towards communication with the opposite gender.I'll get on well with my classmates no matter whether they are boys or girls,but keeping a certain personal distance is extremely necessary.It's of great importance for me to bury myself in my school work before I regret only because of my puppy(early)love..
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.
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.You can trun to the People's Bank of China for the in-formation about your credit report.
49.What's the best title for the passage?A
