In Britain you are allowed to drive a car when you are seventeen. You have to get a special two—year driving license before you can . When you are 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
. You don't have to go to a driving school—a friend can
_you. The person with you isn't allowed to take the
_for the lesson unless he's got a teacher's license.
Before you are allowed to have a full license, you have to take a driving test. You can take a test in your car, but it has to be fit for the road. In the test you have to drive round for about half an hour and then
a few questions. If you don't pass the test, you are allowed to take it again a few weeks
if you want to. In 1970 a woman passed her
test after 212 driving lessons. When you've passed your test, you don't have to take it again, and you are allowed to go on driving as long as you like. Britain's
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 test1935. On the early days of car driving, before 1878, cars weren't allowed to go faster than four miles an hour, and someone had to lead the car with a red flag.

Now lots of parents will buy everything that their children want to have. If they go on with the habit, their children won't know the money from hard work.
Some parents like birthday parties for their children. If they keep on doing this, their children will think it
for them to enjoy birthday parties every year. Year after year, maybe they will forget their
birthdays and only remember their own. It is against traditional habits.
Many parents don't let the children do housework. They think children have only one thing to do. They should study hard and do in their lessons. If parents go on doing this, the children will only learn to open their mouths to be
and stretch out (伸出) their arms to be
every day. When the children grow up, they will be able to do

Did your parents make you take music lessons? Recent research has that people who studied music as a child are able to remember words much better than people musical training. One experiment was with sixty female American college students. A similar study was carried out with ninety boys in Hongkong of China. In both cases, students had to words and pictures. they were asked how many they remembered. Scientists found that students studied music were better at remembering words, but both groups remembered the pictures equally well. Perhaps it is to use your imagination to associate(联想) pictures with things in your life. Also, you can make up stories for pictures.
Scientists explain the by saying that both musical memory and verbal (written or spoken words) memory are located in the left side of the brain. Visual memory, the kind needed for pictures, is located in half of the brain. Since verbal memory is very important for success at school, researchers now think that taking music lessons can give you a real academic advantage. In fact, when the students were tested a year , the students who had stopped taking lessons still did well on verbal memory. Maybe it’s time to give music lessons a try.
