    　　Life was pretty terrible for most people in London 100 years ago．They had to suffer from noise, smoke and dirt．The noise came from the railway, and the smoke and dirt came from the train and thousands of factories all around them．The smoke got together with fog and hung in the air for days．Diseases killed thousands of children．Families were large but often five out of seven children would die before they were five years old．

    　　Is life really better than it was 100 years ago? It is certainly true that people live longer than they used to, travel faster than they could and own more things than they did．But they still have to suffer from noise, overcrowding and bad air which are still a basic part of modern life．

    　　100 years ago there was a clear difference between town and country．But the motor car has changed all that．One motorway can take up a huge amount of land．Cars are also a basic part of modern life．

    　　But industry and modern life do not have to be enemies of beauty．We can have both beauty and progress．In fact, we need clean rivers and open countryside just as much as people did 100 years ago．But nowadays the problem is that it’s becoming more and more difficult to have open land, clean water and fresh air．

    Every culture has a recognized (公认的) point when a child becomes an adult, when rules must be followed and tests passed.
    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（证）, they drive into the grown-up world.
    "Nobody wants to ride the cheese bus to school," said Eleanor Fulham, 17. "It's like you're not cool if you don't have a car," she said.
    According to a recent research, 41% of 16 to 19 year olds in the US own cars, up from 23% in 1985. Although, most of these cars are bought by parents, some teens get part-time jobs to help pay.
    Not all families can afford cars for their children. In cities with undergrounds and limited(有限的) parking, some teenagers don't want them. But in rich areas outside the city, if there are no undergrounds, and bicycles are more for fun than cars, it is strange for a teenager not to have a car.
    But police say 16-year-olds have almost three times more accidents than 18 and 19-year-olds. This has made many parents stop before letting their kids drive. They need to wait until they are more experienced.
    Julie Susiana, of Virginia, decided that her son Chad, 15, will wait until he is 17 to apply for his learner's permit (许可)
    Chad said he has accepted his parents' decision, although it has caused some laughing 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 18-year-olds learn to drive. Will this become a big step to becoming an adult?
    小题1:16-year-old drivers have more accidents possibly because _______.
    A．they want to show themselves off
    B．they are not experienced drivers
    C．older people always drive better
    D．they never drive carefully on the road
    小题2:Which may NOT be taken into consideration when deciding whether to buy a car?
    A．How rich the family is.
    B．Whether the kid is old enough.
    C．What traffic condition there is around.
    D．Whether it's practically needed.
    小题3:The passage mainly gives information about _______.
    A．an American culture about teenagers' driving
    B．a change in the Chinese culture
    C．a cultural difference between America and China
    D．the relationship between driving and a person's development
    小题4:Which may serve as the best title of the article?

    Reading comprehension.

    　　The United States is full of motor cars. There are still many families without cars, but some have two or even more. However, cars are used not for excitement. They are a necessary part of life.

    　　Cars are used for business. They are driven to offices and factories by workers who have no other way to get to their jobs. When salesmen are sent to different parts of the city, they have to drive in order to carry their products. Farmers have to drive into city in order to get supplies.

    　　Sometimes small children must be driven to school. In some cities school buses are used only when children live more than a mile from the school. So one mother drives on Monday, taking her own children and the neighbour's children as well. Another mother drives on Tuesday, another on Wednesday and so on. This is called forming a car pool. Men also form car pools, with three or four men taking turns driving to the place where they all work.

    　　More car pools should be formed in order to put fewer cars on the road and to use less fuel. Parking is a great problem and so is the traffic in and around cities. Too many cars are being driven. Something will have to be done about the use of cars.
