When you are learning, someone with a full license always has to be in the car with you because you are not allowed to drive the car on the road alone. You dont have to go to a driving school-a friend can teach you. The person with you isnt allowed to take the money for the lesson unless hes got a teachers license.Before you are allowed to 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. If you dont pass the test, you are allowed to take it again a few weeks later if you want to. In 1970 a woman passed her fortieth test after 212 driving lessons. When youve passed your test, you dont have to take it again, and you are allowed to go on driving as long as you like.

This pig lived on a farm with a lot of other animals. And of all the animals on the farm, he thought he was the most important. But it was not enough that he himself thought this way. He had to be sure that the other animals thought so, too. So he went up to one of the chickens and asked, “Who is the most important animal on the farm?” straight away, the chicken answered, “You are, master.” Then he asked one of the far dogs, and he got the same reply.Next, he asked a cow. When the cow seemed uncertain of the right answer, the pig looked angry and showed his teeth. “Oh, you are, of course, master pig.” said the cow. “Of course,” the pig said. “There is no doubt about it.”At last, the pig asked a big horse, “Who is the most important animal on the farm?” The horse lifted one foot, rolled the pig over, and placed his foot on the pigs head. “All right,” said the pig, “you dont have to do that just because you dont know the answer.”31.

These words show the friendship between people and animals. Dogs and other pets can give happiness to peoples lives. Some people think of their pets as their mother. A few even leave their money to their pets when they die.Animals can help people, too. Dogs can be taught to become the “eyes” for blind persons or “ears” for deaf people. Scientists have found that pets can help people live longer. They make people happier, too. Because of that, animals are brought to hospitals.Americans hold “Be-King-To-Animals-Week” on the first week of May. Pet shows are held during the week. Even if you dont live in America, you can do this, too. How? First, talk about how animals make your life richer. If you have a pet, take some time to play with it. Remember to give it delicious food. Also, be sure to keep your pet from those unwanted babies.If you dont have a pet, be kind to animals around you. For example, if you see a street dog, dont kick (踢) it or throw things at it. Instead, just leave it alone, or better yet, make friends with it. If others around you do bad things to an animal, try to stop them. As people, we must protect animals who cant speak for themselves.36.

Some students ask for more food than they can eat and other often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom. They say they can afford these things. But I dont agree with them. Waste can bring a lot of problems. Although China is rich in some resources (资源), we are short of others, for example, fresh water. It is reported that we will have no coal or oil to use in 100 years. So if we go on wasting our resources, what can we use in the future and where can we move? Think about it. 58I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day. Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible. In our daily life, we can do many things to stop waste from happening. For example, we can turn off the water taps when we finish washing, turn off the lights when we leave the classroom, try not to order more food than we need, and so on. Little by little, everything will be changed. 59Waste can stopped one day, if we do our best.(一) 根据短文内容简要回答问题:56. How many kinds of music are mention in this passage？_57.
