You have to get a special two-year driving license before you can start. When you are learning, someone with a full license always has to be in the car with you because you arent allowed to drive the car on the road alone. You dont have to go to a driving school-a friend can teach you. The person with you isnt allowed to take the money for the lesson unless hes got a teachers license.Before you are allowed to have a full license, you have to take a driving test.

It described a male bird which takes a lot of pain to build a house and the female bird takes care of the baby in it. When the baby bird learns to fly， the whole family flies off to a different place leaving behind the beautiful nest for other birds to grow their family in it. It made me confused(困惑的)： How could they so easily give up their house built with so much effort?One night， I got this dream. I was walking on the endless road with beautiful trees on the either side. Attracted by the greenery， I went on， then I saw a wonderful house. I explored the house. There was a sloping(斜的) roof which matched with the greenery around； the large central open yard reminded me of the activities that might have taken place there which felt lively even now. The small water body that kept the house cool added to the beauty of the house of course， it was all dried up now. Such liveliness turns the house into a home. People say “THE HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS”， and now I felt it and was attracted deeply.When I woke up from the dream， I was clear about everything. I realized what message my dream wanted to convey(传递) me. And years later， when I chose my career， I thought of the story of the bird and my dream， then I was sure what to do. I decided to choose architecture as my career. I wanted to do the same thing that the male bird in the story did， to take pain in building a beautiful house and let others stay in it. My dream comes true and the happiness that I gain now from this career is great.（1）When the writer read the story of the bird，he felt _.A . boredB . confusedC . amazedD . worried（2）In the writers dream， what part of the house attracted him most?A . The sloping roof of the house.B . The body of water that keeps the house cool.C . The large central open yard.D . The liveliness that he felt around the house.（3）The underlined word “architecture” in Paragraph 3 means _ in Chinese.A . 考古B . 天文C . 建筑D . 艺术（4）The passage is mainly about _.A . how the bird could give up their house easilyB . how the writer finally becomes an honest citizenC . what we need to do when we choose our careerD . why the writer chooses architecture as his career四、 短文填空 (共2题；共15分)15. （5分）下面是五个人在节日期的活动和七个节日习俗简介，请按他们的节日活动匹配他们所过的节日。 _On that day, I learned how to make zongzi from my mother.
