If you want to apply for assistant to the director positions you must _. A. study computer science B. be good at document writing C. have communication ability D. be familiar with various languagesB 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 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, 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 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 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 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 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 to the draft, if you have a personal negative credit record, it will be kept for five years. 24.

Credit history in banks is the only content of a credit report.D. Credit reports began in 2006 in China.27. Whats the best title for the passage?A. A Credit Report Rating B. Credit in ChinaC. Credit Really Counts D. Credit Report ContentsC I fell in love with the ministers son the winter I turned fourteen. He was not Chinese. For Christmas I prayed for the boy, Robert. When I found out that my parents had invited the ministers family over for Christmas Eve dinner, I cried in panic. What would Robert think of our shabby Chinese Christmas? What would he think of our noisy Chinese relatives who lacked proper American manners? On Christmas Eve, my mother created abundant Chinese food. And then they arrivedthe ministers family and all my relatives. Robert greeted hello, and I pretended he was not worthy of existence. Dinner threw me deeper into disappointment. My relatives licked (舔) the ends of their chopsticks and reached across the table. Robert and his family waited patiently for a large plate to be passed to them. My relatives murmured with pleasure when my mother brought out the whole steamed fish. Robert made a face. Then my father reached his chopsticks just below the fish eye and picked out the soft meat. “Amy, your favorite，” he said, offering me the tender fish cheek. I wanted to disappear. At the end of the meal, my father leaned back and burped (打嗝) loudly, thanking my mother for her fine cooking. “Its a polite Chinese custom to show you are satisfied，” explained my father to our astonished guests. Robert was looking down at his plate with a reddish face. The minister managed to bring up a quiet burp. I was shocked into silence for the rest of the night. After everyone had gone, my mother said to me, “You want to be the same as American girls on the outside.” She handed me an early gift. It was a miniskirt. “But inside you must always be Chinese. You must be proud that you are different. Your only shame is to have shame.” It was not until years later that I was able to fully appreciate her lesson and the purpose behind her particular menu. For Christmas Eve that year, she had chosen excellent Chinese food.28. When the writer found out the ministers family would come for Christmas Eve dinner, she cried mainly because _. A. she worried about their shabby Chinese Christmas B. she worried about their Chinese relatives lacking American manners C. she worried about being laughed at D.she worried about meeting the ministers family29.

A. she childishly expected all of them to act in the same way as Americans did at table B. her father reached his chopsticks to pick fish for her C. her father leaned back and burped loudly D. her relatives licked the ends of their chopsticks31. We can infer from the passage that _. A. the writer appreciated her mothers lesson years later B. the mother prepared to show Chinese different food culture C. the writer must be proud that she is different D. the ministers family really enjoyed the foodD Grammarphobia is the fear of grammar. This fear attacks almost everybody at one time or another, and its most likely to strike during English or language arts classes. Even people who love reading and writing have been known to get feverish and insecure when they are aware of the possibility of turning in homework with grammar or spelling mistakes. Though writing may be enjoyable, being corrected is definitely not! Grammarphobes, its time to put your fears behind you.Grammar isnt that dreadful (可怕的). Heres why. Lets assume you like hearing and telling stories and that you enjoy joking with friends. You probably also like emailing and instantmessaging. Well, what do you think makes all these possible? Grammar! Grammar is simply the art of putting words together to make sentences. Whenever you use words to express yourself, youre using grammar. You do this all the time without even thinking. So why think about it? Because good grammar helps you convey the ideas you intend. If your words arent right, or if they are not in the right order, the person you are talking to might get the wrong idea. This can have embarrassing results. Grammar helps us understand each other. Its like a manual (手册) for assembling the words in your head. You have to put your words together the right way if you want them to make sense. They cant do what you want if they arent put together correctly. What if everybody you know had a different manual? How would you agree on what others words mean? People with different grammar manuals might be speaking different languages. Communicating is similar to playing cards. To make sense, we have to play the same game, by the same rules. What are the rules for playing the game of English? You already know most of them without having to open a book.32. Grammarphobes refer to people who _. A. consider grammar to be boring B. are afraid of making grammar mistakes C. mind grammar too much in writing D. are worried about grammar homework33.

B.Forgetting grammar when writing. C. Improving grammar through writing. D.
