The person who teaches you cant take money for the lesson unless(除非) hes got a teachers license.Before you have a full license, you have to take a driving test. You can take a test in your own 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 answer a few questions.

People all over the world recently celebrated Halloween. Children dressed up in costumes （戏剧性的服饰）and went door-to-door for candy. We call it “trick or treating” and its one of the most fun parts of the holiday for kids.But some US cities have rules about who can go trick-or-treating. For example, in the cities of Meridian, Mississippi and Bishopville, South Carolina, kids above the age of 12 cannot go trick-or-treating. Why were these rules created? Something that is just for young children. Others point out that teenagers lose interest in trick-or-treating at a certain age anyway, and would prefer to go to a party with their friends instead.I dont quite remember when I stopped trick-or-treating. It was probably when I was in my early to mid-teens. So I guess these laws wouldnt have bothered（困扰）me. But then again, Im not sure if its “right” to stop older kids from trick-or-treating, especially if they work hard to put together a creative costume.And there could be some bad effects as well. Experts say that trick-or-treating has been welcomed in the US because it helped to cut down on teenage vandalism（破坏公物）in the past. If kids are busy getting candy, they wont have time to play any tricks.25 . According to the passage, which city doesnt have rules about who can go trick-or-treating?AMississippiBSouth CarolinaCBishopvilleDNew York26 . In the city of Meridian, kids are not allowed to go trick-or-treating.Aunder 3 years oldBover 12 years oldCover 6 years oldDunder 8 years old27 . People support these rules for the following reasons EXCEPT that.Aits silly for older teens to ask for candy door to doorBteenagers are not interested in trick-or-treatingCteenagers prefer to go to a party with their friendsDSomething that is just for young children.28 . In the US, trick-or-treating has been welcomed because .Ait helped to cut down on teenage vandalismBit helped candy companies sell more candyCkids spent a lot of time thinking about tricks to playDkids love to get candy and wear costumes29 . Whats the writers attitude（态度）towards the new law?AHe doesnt care about it.BHe thinks it is right.CHe thinks it makes people upset.DHe is not sure whether it is right or not.Are you tired of studying all day long? Do you want to do something different? Teens are full of energy, and some are really creative. The following is from an American teens Weblog.I own chickens. At home, my family has seven chickens. I gave them all names, and they are my good friends. You may think that taking care of chickens is easy, but sometimes chickens have minds of their own. If you are considering getting chickens, there are a few things you need to know.The pecking orderChickens have something we call the pecking order. It is the ranking of all the chickens. The order goes from the toughest, biggest chicken, to the smallest, weakest chicken. The chickens figure out this order on their own. Putting chickens together is not easy. You have to make sure they all eat the same food. Otherwise, you have to keep them apart.Caring for baby chicksYou must have patience for this. You need to feed them very good food to them, so they stay healthy and become immune to diseases. You also need a place for them to stay in your house and a special feeder and water holder. You can get day-old chicks, or you can get chicks that are 6 months and older. Also, you should clean the pen regularly, so neighbors dont complain.Anybody can have chickensYou just have to know what you are doing and always be prepared. Chickens can bring families together. They are fun and humorous, beautiful and loving. They are also smart. Its amazing how quickly they learn things on their own. So why not consider getting some of your own feathered friends?30 .

I felt too tired to think of any special gifts.Knowing Justin felt the same way, I decided one year not to buy the usual shirts, sweaters, ties and so on. I reached for something special just for Justin. The inspiration came in an unusual way.Our son Kevin, who was 12 that year, was wrestling （摔跤）at the junior level at the school he attended; and shortly before Christmas, there was a match against a team sponsored (赞助) by an inner-city church.These youngsters, dressed in such worn-out shoes that shoe strings seemed to be the only thing holding them together, while our boys were in their blue and gold uniforms and new wrestling shoes.As the match began, I was shocked to see that the other team were wrestling without wearing helmets (头盔) to protect their ears. Well, our boys ended up defeating them. We took every weight class.Justin, seated beside me, shook his head sadly, “I wish just one of them could have won,” he said. “They have a lot potential (潜力) , but losing like this could take the heart out of them.” Justin loved kidsall kids, and he knew them, having coached little league football and baseball. Thats when the idea for his present came. That afternoon, I went to a local sporting goods store and bought different kinds of wrestling helmets and shoes. I sent them to inner-city church without leaving my name.On Christmas Eve, I placed the envelope on the tree, the note inside telling Justin what I had done and that was his gift from me. His smile was the brightest thing about Christmas that year and since then the envelope has become the highlight of our Christmas.35 . Justin hated Christmas because _.Ahe didnt enjoy receiving giftsBhe had a hard time choosing giftsChe spent too much money buying giftsDhe disliked putting gifts under the Christmas tree36 . We know from the passage that the team sponsored by inner-city church_.Awere well dressedBpaid no attention to safetyCfeared Kevins teamDcouldnt afford a helmet37 . How did Justin feel about the teams failure ?AUpsetBAngryCHopelessDShameful38 . Why did the writer send gifts to the inner-city church without leaving her name ?ATo avoid being thankedBTo play a joke on JustinCTo give Justin a surpriseDTo protect her private information39 . Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?AThe Church GiftBA Special NoteCThe White EnvelopeDA Christmas Card四、回答问题Answer the questions. （根据以下内容回答问题）Subway（地铁）is the most crowded place in a city.
