    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
    A．Easy Ways to Make Friends

    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．
