    It's interesting that the arrival of snow has a different effect on people in different countries. For some countries it is an important happening to celebrate each year, while for others it is a catastrophe (灾难) or even a wonder.
    There are countries between these two extremes (极端) that normally expect snow some time over the winter months, but never receive snow regularly or in the same quantities(数量) every year. Britain is one such country, for which the arrival of snow quite simply creates problems. Within hours of the first snowfall, however light, roads are blocked, trains and buses stop in the middle of traffic. Normal communications are affected as well, telephone calls become difficult and the post immediately takes more time than usual. Almost within hours, there are also shortages(不足) -- bread, vegetables and other things -- not because all these things can no longer be produced or sent to shops, but mainly because people are frightened, and go out to store up these commodities (日用品), “just for fear that something bad should happen.”
    Why then does snow have this effect? After all, the Swiss, Austrians and Canadians don't have such problems. It is simply because there is not enough planning and preparation. We need money to buy equipment to deal with snow and ice. To keep the roads clear, for example, requires snow ploughs and machines to spread salt. The reason why a country like Britain does not buy some ploughs is that they are only used for a few days in any one year, and the money could be more useful in other things such as hospitals, education or helping the old.

A、which has regular snow B、which is not well prepared for snow C、for which snow is not a problem D、for which snow is a wonder

    Life comes in a package. Thispackage includes happiness and sadness, failure and success, hope anddespair.Life is a learning process. Experiences in life teach us new lessons and makeus a better person. With each passing day we learn to deal with varioussituations.

Love plays amain role in our life. Love makes you feel wanted. Without love a person couldbecome cruel. In the early stage of our life, our parents are the ones who showus with love and care. They teach us about what is right and wrong, good andbad. But we don't always care about it. It is only after marriage and havingkids that a person understands others' feelings.

Happiness canbring people a peaceful mind. No mind is happy without peace. Sadness is thecause of the death of a loved one or the failure. But all of these things willpass away.

Failure is thepath to success. It helps us to touch the sky, teaches us to survive and showsus a specific way. Success brings in money, pride and self-respect.

Hope is whatkeeps life going. Parents always hope their children will do well. Hope makesus dream. Hope builds in patience. Life teaches us not to despair even in thedarkest hour, because after every night there is a day.

Life teaches usnot to regret over yesterday, for it has passed and is out of our control. Tomorrowis unknown, for it could either be bright or dark.So the only choice is towork hard today, so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow.

根据短文内容，判断下列句子正误。

    In Britain you're allowed to drive a car when you're seventeen. You have to get a special two-year driving license before you start. When you're learning, someone with a full license always has to be in the car with you because you aren't allowed to drive the car on the road alone. You don't have to go to a driving school—a friend can teach you. The person with you isn't allowed to take money for the lessons unless he's got a teacher's license. 

    Before you're allowed to have a full license, you have to take a driving test. You can take a test in your own car, but it has to be fit for the road. In the test, you have to drive round for half an hour and then answer a few questions. If you don't pass the test, you're allowed to take it again a few weeks later. In 1970, a woman passed her fortieth test after 212 driving lessons! When you've passed your test, you're allowed to go on driving if you like, and you must be healthy. Britain's oldest driver was a man who drove in 1974 at the age of 100. 

    Before 1904, everyone was allowed to drive, even children. Then from 1904 car drivers had to have a license. But they didn't have to take a test until 1935. In the early days of car driving, before 1978, cars weren't allowed to go faster than four miles an hour, and someone had to lead the car with a red flag.
