阅读理解

    In America, drivers' education is part of the regular high school curriculum. Every student in his or her second year of high school is required to take a class in driver's education. However, unlike other courses, it is not given during the regular school year. Instead it is a summer course.

    The course is divided into two parts: class time for learning laws and rules and driving time to practice driving. Class time is not unlike any other class. The students study the basic traffic laws from a text to pass the written driving test that is given to anyone who wants to get a driver's license.

    Driving time is a chance for the students to get behind the wheel and practice starting. Each student is required to drive a total of six hours. The students are divided into groups of four. The students and the instructor go out driving for two hours each time. So each student gets half an hour driving time per outing.

    Drivers Ed cars are unlike other cars in which they have two sets of brakes(刹车), one on the driver's side and one on the other side where the instructor sits. So if the student driver should run into difficulties, the instructor can take over. The car also has another special feature. On the top of the car is a sign that reads: STUDENT DRIVER. That lets nearby drivers know that they should use extra caution because the student driver is a beginning driver, not very experienced.

    After the student has passed the driver's education course and reached the suitable age to drive (this age differs in every state but in most cases the person must be 16 years old), they can go to a the state office to take their driver's test, which is made up of an eye examination, a written test, and a road test. The person must pass all the three tests in order to be given a driver's license.

(1)、We can infer that the students are required to ________ in their whole driving practice.
A、go out driving for 12 times B、spend at least six hours driving C、drive for two-hour blocks of time D、get half an hour driving
(2)、In America, the driver's course mentioned above is ________.
A、considered as part of the advanced education B、given to anyone wanting to get a driver's license C、carried on at the same time as other courses D、required of all the students of Grade 2 in high schools
(3)、To prevent accidents, a driver's ED car ________.
A、has a sign inside it B、has two sets of brakes C、is big enough to hold five persons D、can't run very fast
(4)、Which of the following does not agree with the requirements for the students wanting to get their driver's license?
A、They must be 16 years of age. B、They should go to have their driver's course. C、They must have their eyes examined. D、They ought to do well in their driver's course.
(5)、The underlined word “caution” in paragraph 4 means ________.
A、being brave B、courage C、being careful D、patience

I took my 9-year-old daughter Susan and 5-year-old son Robbie, to the shopping centre. As we got there, we saw a big sign that said, "Petting Zoo". The kids jumped up and asked, "Daddy, can we go?"

Both my wife and I were out of work. However, I said, "Sure", giving them a quarter each. They went away, leaving only fifty cents left in my pocket.

A petting zoo is made up of a hundred of little baby animals of all kinds. Kids pay their money and stay in the enclosure (围场) pleased with the little animals while their parents shop.

A few minutes later, I saw Susan walking along behind me. I was surprised and asked what was wrong.

She said sadly, "Well, Daddy, a ticket for petting zoo costs fifty cents. So I gave Robbie my quarter." Then she said the most beautiful thing I ever heard. She repeated the family motto (座右铭), which is "Love is Action!"

I knew clearly no one loves little animals than Susan. She had watched both my wife and me do and say "Love is Action!" for years, and now she had put it into her lifestyle. It had become part of her, because she knew the whole family motto. It's not only "Love is Action"; it's "Love is SACRIFICIAL (牺牲的) Action!" Love always pays a price.

I was moved. We went back to the petting zoo. Susan stood with her hands and chin (下巴) resting on the fence and just watched Robbie go crazy petting and feeding the animals. I had fifty cents burning a hole in my pocket. I put my hand into my pocket and took out the money. Sure, I must do that!

Jo was the first to wake. She remembered her mother's promise, and, putting her hand under her pillow(枕头), drew out a little red-covered book. She loved it. She woke Meg up and asked her to see what was under her pillow. A green-covered book appeared. Then Beth and Amy woke, to find their little books also. 

"Girls, " said Meg seriously, "Mother wants us to read and love these books, and we must begin at once. I shall read a little every morning, for I know it will do me good. "

And then they opened the new books and read. The rooms were very quiet, and the winter sunshine shone in to touch the serious faces with a Christmas greeting. 

"Where is Mother?" asked Meg, as she ran down to thank her for their gifts, half an hour later. 

"Some poor men come for help, and Mrs. March went straight off to see what was needed, " replied Hannah, who was considered more as a friend than a servant. 

"She will be back soon, so we must get everything ready, " said Meg, looking over the presents which were collected in a basket, ready to be given to their mother at the proper time. "Why, where is Amy's bottle of cologne(古龙香水)?" she wondered. 

"She took it out a minute ago, " replied Jo. 

"There's Mother. Hide the basket, quick!" cried Jo, as door opened, and steps sounded in the hall. 

Amy hurried in, and looked rather ashamed(羞愧的) when she saw her sisters all waiting for her. 

"Where have you been, and what are you hiding behind you?" asked Meg, surprised to see that lazy Amy had been out so early. 

"You see, I felt ashamed of my present, so I ran round the corner and changed the little bottle for a big one and I gave all my money for it; and I'm truly trying not to be selfish any more. "

Another bang(砰砰作响) of the street door sent the girls to the table. 

"Merry Christmas, Marmee! Thank you for our books; we love them, " they said together. 

"Merry Christmas, little daughters! I'm glad you like the books. But I want to say one word before we sit down. Not far from here lies a poor woman with a little new-born baby. They were suffering hunger and cold. My girls, will you give them your breakfast as a Christmas present?"

They were all unusually hungry, having waited for nearly an hour, and for a minute no one spoke; only a minute, for Jo said, "I'm so glad you came before we began!"

(From Little Women)
