Many people in the U.S. really depend on their cars to get to work and school. In fact most American workers spend an hour driving to work each day. In order to drive in the U.S., you have to go to your local Department of Motor Vehicles first, and take a written test to get your learners permit. If you pass this test, you can practice driving so you can pass a road test and get your license. The Department of Motor Vehicles has free booklets you can get to study for your learners permit. You can also get the information online and even take a practice written exam. To prepare for the road test, you can have a friend teach you to drive or pay to take classes at a driving school. You cannot, however, practice driving by yourself. If you are caught driving with only a learners permit, you can get into trouble with the law.Once you get your drivers license in one state, you can use it to drive in all of the United States. Wherever you drive, you will see signs posted along the road showing the speed limit. These numbers are not a suggestion. Generally you can drive faster on a highway than on local streets. Local police use special equipment to discover your speed. If they discover you are speeding or driving over the speed limit, police can stop you and give you a ticket. You will have to pay a fine which may be more than $100. The lines painted on the road are not just to keep cars in their lanes. They send a message. For example, a double solid yellow line means that it is against the law to pass another car here.21 .

Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?AMost Americans go to work in their cars every day.BIf you only have a learners permit, you cant drive it by yourself.CWhen you get your drivers license, you cant drive on a high way.DIf you drive your car in the double solid yellow line, you are against the law.25 . The best title of the passage may be “_”.ADriving in the U.S.BDriving speedCFollowing the traffic rulesDGetting your drivers licenseMany Chinese people will wonder what presents to get for their moms on Mothers Day, but not many know Mothers Day is actually a festival from overseas.Mothers Day originated（起源）in American during the early 20th century. The festival spread to China as early as the 1980s and was widely accepted.Why did a foreign festival become popular in China? In fact, Chinese traditional culture has always encouraged filial（子女的）devotion to parents. There are many stories which show filial respect in ancient China. For example, the story of “Taste Liquid（液体的）Medicine for Mother “ tells us the filial virtue（美德）of Emperor Wen of the Western Han Dynasty. His mother had been sick for three years. He often stayed up by her bedside and cared for her day and night. He tasted the liquid medicine first before she drank it. Also, mother love is a repeated subject in Chinese ancient poems, like “Song of the Parting Son” by Meng Jiao, a poet of the Tang Dynasty. Now this poem is still a must in the school textbooks. Children in China are brought up with the education of filial devotion.On special days，people often use roses or forget-me-nots（勿每我）to express love. Carnations are considered as the perfect flowers for mothers around the world, but few know that China has its own flower for mothers the tiger lily.Love for mothers can have different ways of expression. What matters most is love, not the festival itself. What mothers truly want is perhaps just a simple expression of love from their children.26 .
