Directions: There are two passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice. Passage One It's that time of year when college students pack up their dorm rooms and head home for the summer. With their eyes focused on next September, they put together a resume and pound the pavement(徘徊街头找工作) to find a summer job---ANY summer job. Many of these jobs will be a less-than-enjoyable means to an end so that students can scrape together(东拼西凑) enough money for next semester. If your summer job doesn't fit your idea of the perfect job, it's easy to adopt the mindset "I just need to get through the next few months and I won't have to do this ever again." It's easy to take a short-term view, but I'd like to reframe what you think of that summer job and how you can use it to help you improve your future job prospects. Think about what will happen in your life when you graduate from college in just a couple of years: You'll probably need to rent an apartment, furnish it, get a car and pursue your career. You may meet a serious romantic partner. All of these things require credit (yes, ALL of them!). You may need a good credit score to rent that apartment, to borrow money to furnish it, to lease a car. You may, in certain cases, need a good credit report to help you get a job and keep it. And we're even seeing romantic relationships end based over credit scores. To get all of these things in just a couple of years, and to get these things at an attractive interest rate that you can afford, you need one thing: a record of your good credit habits and history. Your credit report is that record of your credit habits and history, and your credit score is a number derived from that record. You can check your credit report from each of the 3 major credit reporting agencies for free once a year through AnnualCreditReport.com, and you can monitor your credit score for free once a month using Credit.com's Credit Report Card. 24.
