In China, although teenagers can get their ID cards at 16, many only see themselves as an adult when
they are 18. In the US, where everyone drives, the main step to the freedom of adult life is learning to
drive. At 16, American teens take their driving test. When they have their license, they drive into the grownup world.
"Nobody wants to ride the cheese bus to school," said Eleanor Fulham, 17. She brought the pressure
back to memory, especially for kids from wealthier families. "It"s like you"re not cool if you don"t have a
car," she said.
According to recent research, 41% of 16 to 19yearolds in the US own cars, up from 23% in 1985.
Although, most of these cars are bought by parents, some teens get parttime jobs to help pay.
Not all families can afford cars for their children. In cities with subways and limited parking, some
teenagers don"t want them. But in rich suburban areas without subways, and where bicycles are more for
fun than transportation, it is strange for a teenager not to have a car.
But police say 16yearolds have almost three times more accidents than 18 to 19yearolds. This has
made many parents pause before letting their kids drive.
Julie Sussman, of Virginia, decided that her son Chad, 15, will wait until he is 17 to apply for his
learner"s permit.
Chad said he has accepted his parents" decision, although it has caused some teasing from his friends. "They say that I am unlucky," he said, "But I"d rather be alive than driving, and I_don"t_really_trust_my_
friends_on_the_road,_either."
In China as more families get cars, more 18yearolds learn to drive. Will this become a big step to
becoming an adult?
B．Driving into the GrownUp World
C．Teenagers" Driving in America
D．Recognized Point of Becoming an Adult
B．they are never experienced drivers
C．older people always drive better
D．they never drive carefully on the road

for man. We may not depend as much on wild animals now. But we hear about them every day.
Americans use the names of animals in many ways. Automobile manufacturers and gasoline companies
especially like to use big cats to sell their products. They like lions, tigers and wildcats. When Americans
say wildcat, they usually mean a_lynx, an_ocelot_or_a_bobcat. All these cats attack quickly and fiercely.
So wildcats represent something fast and fierce.
An early American use of the word wildcat was quite different. It was used to describe members of
Congress who declared war on Britain in 1812. A magazine of that year said the wildcat congressmen
went home. It said they were unable to face the responsibility of having involved their country in an
unnecessary war.
Wildcat also has been used as a name for money in the 1800s. At that time, some states permitted
banks to make their own money. One bank in the state of Michigan offered paper money with a picture
of a wildcat on it. Some banks, however, did not have enough gold to support all the paper money they
offered. So the money had little or no value. It was called a wildcat bill or a wildcat banknote. The
banks who offered this money were called wildcat banks. A newspaper of the time said those were the
days of wildcat money. It said a man might be rich in the morning and poor by night.
Wildcat then was also used for an oil well or gold mine that had almost no oil or gold in it. Dishonest
developers would buy such property. Then they would sell it and leave town with the money. The
buyers were left with worthless holes in the ground.Today, wildcat oil wells are in areas that are not
known to have oil.
B. Wildcats and their characters.
C. Varieties of animal species.
D. Relationship between animals and humans.
B. the use of wildcats was not always the same
C. wildcats are the best friend of human beings
D. honest developers never buy wildcat oil wells
B. automobile manufacturers
C. names of wildcats
D. brands of automobile
A. Wildcat congressmen.
B. Wildcat oil wells.
C. Wildcat banks.
D. Wildcat cars.
B. people didn"t know how to save money
C. the rich invested too much on oil wells
D. people complained and suffered a lot
A. The history of the city
B. The city attracted all kinds of immigrants and developed its multicultures.
C. The brief introduction to New Orleans
D. The origin of Jazz
E. The population of the city
F. African people arrived and they brought their own traditions including music.
1.________
New Orleans, the city of Louisiana, is one of the most colorful and interesting places in North
America. It is wellknown for its multicultural cuisine(菜肴) and its colonial architecture and is
considered by most experts to be the birthplace of jazz, the one music style that the USA can lay
claim to inventing.
2. ________
The city was founded in 1718, at a time when France owned that part of North America. Part of its
diversity results from the fact that it was subjected to many different influences. France sold Louisiana
to Spain in 1763, got it back 40 years later, and almost immediately sold the territory to the USA.
3. ________
As the city prospered(繁荣), it became a magnet(磁铁)for all kinds of immigrants from Europe and
other parts of the USA, and was also the first choice destination of breeding black slaves. The rich
cultural mix led to a relaxed attitude to life and an appreciation of good food, wine, music and dancing.
There were frequent festivals.
4. ________
By the end of the 1700s, people of African descent(祖先) made up more than half the city"s
population. Many more arrived via the Caribbean and brought with them West Indian cultural
traditions. By the mid18th century, black people in New Orleans were gathering socially on Sundays
at a special market outside the city, where they were able to remember and practice their traditional
African dance and drumming music. The roots of jazz can be traced to these events.
5. ________
Native American musicians then combined their music with the African traditions and bands playing
a mixture of styles began to perform in street festivals. Europeans came to listen and contribute and the
roots of jazz were established. Louis Armstrong, the most famous jazz musician of all time, was
influenced by these rich musical mixtures when he heard them in the early years of the 20th century.
