In Britain,you’re allowed to drive a car when you’re seventeen. You have to get a special two-year driving licence before you can start. When you’re learning,someone with a full licence always has to be in the car with you because you are not allowed to drive the car on the road alone. You don’t have to go to a driving school—a friend can teach you. The person with you isn’t allowed to take money for the lesson unless he’s got a teacher’s licence.
Before you’re allowed to have a full licence,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 around for about half an hour and then answer a few questions. If you don’t pass the test,you’re 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 you’ve passed your test you don’t have to take it again,and you’re allowed to go on driving as long as you like,if you’re healthy. Britain’s oldest driver was a man who drove in 1974 at the age of 100.
Before 1904,everyone was allowed to drive,even children. Then from 1904,car drivers had to have a licence. But they didn’t have to take a test until 1935.

Donald was not very good at math. He couldn’t understand the teacher’s explanations. Even when the teacher explained something a second time,Donald still couldn’t understand it.
“Never mind，” Donald told himself, “I’m quite good at other subjects. I’ll cheat in the math exam to get a good grade,then I won’t be in trouble. ”
“I’ll sit next to the boy who does best in math, ” he thought, “and copy down his answers. ”
