16、lls.BThere are two ways of driving in the world: if the drivers seat is on the left and cars travel on the right side of the road, it is called “left-hand driving”, as it is in China, while the other way of driving, the drivers seat is on the right and cars travel on the left side of the road, it is

17、 called “right-hand driving”, as it is in Britain. Nowadays, around 65% of the worlds population drives on the right of the road, while the rest is used to driving on the left. Though no one knows the exact reasons, it seems likely that people in ancient times travelled on the left. Roman coins show

18、 pictures of horsemen passing on each others right. And right-hand people generally got on a horse from the animals left. Obviously, its safer to do this at the left side of the road, and it makes sense for the horse to be ridden on the left. A change happened in the late 1700s. When Napoleon conque

19、red (攻占) nations, he forced them to travel on the right side of the road, which spread left-hand driving throughout Europe. However, Britain still stuck with the right-hand driving rule and countries which were part of the British Empire were made to follow. This is why India, Australia and the form

20、er British colonies (殖民地) in Africa continue to drive on the left. One exception is Egypt, as that country was defeated by Napoleon before becoming part of the British Empire. Some countries changed sides until modern times. Sweden only moved to driving on the right in 1967 and Iceland changed the f

21、ollowing year. Ghana changed sides in 1974. On September 7, 2009, Samoa became the third country ever to change from left-to-right-hand driving for the reason that it made it easier to import cheap cars from right-hand driving Japan, Australia and New Zealand. So if you want to travel to another cou

22、ntry or go on business, make sure you know whether it is left-or right-hand driving to avoid unnecessary troubles. 24. Which picture shows the correct driving in Britain? (The word in the picture is “drive”) A B C D25. In ancient times, Romans _. A. travelled on the right B. rode past each others ri

23、ght C. got on the horses from the right D. behaved as they liked 26. In modern times, countries follow the same driving way except _. A. Iceland B. China C. Sweden D. Australia 27. What is the writers purpose for writing this passage? A. To introduce the development of the two ways of driving.B. To

24、compare the differences of the two ways of driving. C. To explain the advantages of the two ways of driving. D. To complain about the change of the two ways of driving.CThere is a day every year that most people look forward to because of a cake, balloons, presents and sometimes a party. Yes, this i

25、s your birthday. A “birthday” is described as the name given to the date of the annual event of a persons birth. It is a tradition for people to celebrate this specific day.In the beginning, people did not have birthday celebrations, because people did not keep very good birth records. They werent e

26、ven sure what year they were born. And when people started to celebrate the birthday, there was no tradition of bringing gifts, and guests attending the birthday celebrations would bring good wishes for the birthday person. However, if a guest did bring gifts it was considered to be a good sign for

27、the person of honor. Later, flowers became quite popular as birthday gifts.Nowadays, different cultures have their own birthday celebrations. In Chinese culture, elders and family members gather around the one-year-old child and bring toys such as books, dolls and coins. It is believed that the chil

28、ds future career will depend on the object that he or she picks. The Chinese consider a child a year old at birth. In Japan, peoples 3rd, 5th, and 7th birthdays are the most important, because they will get to participate in the annual “Seven-Five-Three” festival. Participants usually visit shrines

29、(神殿) show thanks for their health and strength.Some in Britain still practice an ancient way of celebrating birthdays by placing thimbles (顶针) and coins in the cake. The person who will get the coin will be wealthy and the one who gets the thimble will never marry. Ireland has a funny way of celebra

30、ting birthdays. It is believed that it is for good luck that a child is lifted upside down and gets “bumped” (撞击) on the floor! These bumps will depend how old the child is.
