In America, drivers’ education is part of the regular high school curriculum. Every student in his or her second year of high school is required to take a class in driver’s 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 driver’s 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(剎車), one on the driver's 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 driver's 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 a the state office to take their driver's 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 driver's license.

1.We can infer that the students are required to ________ in their whole driving practice.

A. go out driving for 12 times B. spend at least six hours driving

C. drive for two-hour blocks of time D. get half an hour driving

2.In America, the driver's course mentioned above is ________.

A. considered as part of the advanced education

B. given to anyone wanting to get a driver's license

C. carried on at the same time as other courses

D. required of all the students of Grade 2 in high schools

3.To prevent accidents, a driver's ED car ________.

A. has a sign inside it B. has two sets of brakes

C. is big enough to hold five persons D. can't run very fast

4.Which of the following does not agree with the requirements for the students wanting to get their driver's license?

A. They must be 16 years of age.

B. They should go to have their driver's course.

C. They must have their eyes examined.

D. They ought to do well in their driver's course.

5.The underlined word “caution” in paragraph 4 means ________.

A. being brave B. courage C. being careful D. patience

It can be a frightening experience for people to visit a new place, because most people are not comfortable with --- English. So how can you keep away from this kind of situation? Learn how to speak English fluently. Here are four English speaking tips you must know to become a more confident English speaker.

1.Listen first.

Listen carefully to understandable English every day. Most people turn to textbooks to study English grammar rules, but you cannot learn the correct English pronunciation of the words only by reading them. You do not need to learn grammar in detail because this can prevent you from speaking English fluently. Instead, listen to how native English speakers pronounce and watch their mouth movements carefully. Also watch English shows and movies to develop your spoken English and improve your vocabulary.

2.Practice makes perfect.

Read aloud in English for 15 to 20 minutes a day in front of the mirror, which helps in pronunciation and improves your English communication skills. Also, practice with your friends and family. Talking with a good English speaker can help improvise (即興發(fā)揮) your usage of words and form of sentences.

3.Think in English.

At the beginning, most English learners usually think of what they have to say in their native language, translate and then say it in English. This can be tiring in the mind. If your goal is to speak English fluently, you need to learn “thinking” in English. Make up the sentences in English as you think about them.

4.Be more confident.

All these tips will be for nothing if you are not that confident in your English speaking skills. It is quite natural to make mistakes when learning a new language.

Try to relax if you’re speaking in English. When you speak at a normal speed, you’ll discover that you will be able to pronounce the words correctly and people will understand you. Most of the time, the person you are talking to even doesn’t know your mistakes.

In a word, learning English does not happen overnight. It takes a lot of time, effort and practice. Don’t lose confidence and never give up. Follow these tips and practice every day. Soon, you would learn to speak English fluently as if it is your own language.
