10．Selfies（自拍）have become an increasingly common way to capture memorable moments．When it comes to taking selfies，knowing the following tips can directly affect the quality of your final product．
（36）CLights can help avoid shadows and create soft features on your face，so turn your face toward the main light source．If you want to be creative，play with light angles by turning your body，but make sure the photo is properly exposed and your face is lit from the front or the side．（37）GIn addition，natural light possesses a warmth that makes you look like you're glowing．
When taking selfies，angles also matter a lot．Hold the camera away from your face，and try to take photos both horizontally and vertically．（38）FIdeally，the universal selfie angle is 45 degrees above your head．But you should study your face at different angles because finding your best angle requires you having seen all of them．（39）AYou can always do more to show others your best side．Try to simplify the background by taking selfies outdoors or in spacious areas．Document yourself engaging in interesting activities-hiking with family members，visiting landmarks，or working out with friends．（40）DYou can also download some photo apps that allow you to adjust the lighting and contrast．Some apps offer useful filters，which can change your skin tone and remove pimples（粉刺）on your face．

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．inform us to apply for a loan at university．
47．A Gredit reports will include the following exceptC．
A．taxes
B．telephone bills
C．genetic data
D．water use fees
48．According to the passage，which of the following statements is true？D

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
A．Gredit really counts
B．Credit in China
C．A credit report rating
D．Credit report contents．

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（蠟）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．
