Every student in his or her second year of high school is required to take a class in drivers 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 drivers 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 drivers 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 drivers 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 the state office to take their drivers 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 drivers license.（1）We can infer that the students are required to _ in their whole driving practice. A . go out driving for 12 timesB . spend at least six hours drivingC . drive for two-hour blocks of timeD . get half an hour driving（2）In America, the drivers course mentioned above is _. A . considered as part of the advanced educationB . given to anyone wanting to get a drivers licenseC . carried on at the same time as other coursesD . required of all the students of Grade 2 in high schools（3）To prevent accidents, a drivers ED car _. A . has a sign inside itB . has two sets of brakesC . is big enough to hold five personsD . cant run very fast（4）Which of the following does not agree with the requirements for the students wanting to get their drivers license? A . They must be 16 years of age.B . They should go to have their drivers course.C . They must have their eyes examined.D . They ought to do well in their drivers course.（5）The underlined word “caution” in Paragraph 4 means _. A . being braveB . courageC . being carefulD . patience5. （8分）If you want to see a thing well, reach out and touch it!That may seem a strange thing to say. But touching things can help you to see them better.Your eyes can tell you that a glass ball is round. But by holding it in your hands, you can feel how smooth and cool the ball is. You can feel how heavy the glass is. When you feel all these about the ball, you really see it. With your skin, you can feel better. For example, your fingers can tell the difference between two coins in your pocket. You can feel a little drop of water on the back of your hand, too. You can even feel sounds against your skin. Have you ever wanted to know why some people like very loud music? They must like to feel the sounds of music.All children soon learn what Dont touch! means. They hear it often. Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up. In shops, we touch things we might buy: food, clothes. To see something well, we have to touch it. The bottoms of our feet can feel things, too. You know this when you walk on warm sand, cool grass or a hard floor. All feel different under your feet.There are ways of learning to see well by feeling. One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin. Feel the shoes on your feet, the clothes on your body, the air on your skin. At first, it is not easy to feel these things. You are too used to them!Most museums are just for looking. But today some museums have some things to touch. Their signs say, Do touch!There you can feel everything on show.If you want to see better, reach out and touch.
