In Britain,you’re allowed to drive a car when you’re seventeen. You have to get a special two-year

driving license before you can start. When you^e learning,someone with a full license always has to be in the car with you because you aren5t 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^ allowed to take money for the lesson unless he^ got a teacher's license.

    Before you’re 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 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 don5t have to take it again,and you5re allowed to go on driving as long as you

like. 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 license. But they didn't have to take a test until 1935. On the early days of car driving,before 1878,cars weren’t allowed to go faster than four miles an hour,and someone had to lead the car with a red

flag.

   I have heard the bees long before I saw them.

    It was a very hot afternoon,and we decided to cool off in the river near my home. As we climbed down a small rocky hill toward the water,my boyfriend John suddenly started to shout,then jumped into the water below. Peter and Mary quickly followed but I was too far away to jump. I was strapped.

I heard a low hum (嘴嘴聲) ,which was growing louder. From a distance,the group of bees looked almost like a cloud of smoke. As it got closer,I realized it was actually thousands of bees flying towards me.

All I could do was to cover my face with hands. Crazily I thought that if I sat very still (安靜的) , the bees would think I was just another rock.

    After a few seconds,I knew my plan hadn’t worked. The bees were attacking me. I could hear my friends shouting at me to get down to the pool fast.

  But it wasn't easy. I was in great pain and the only way I could get away was to use my hands to climb down to the rocks. However,I was afraid to do that at first because my face would be unprotected. The noise the bees made was so loud and frightening,but I had no choice.

    I rushed down the rocks and jumped into the pool,but I don't remember doing it. I was just so happy to be free from the pain. I was safe,and the water felt wonderful.

    But we still weren’t out of danger. Every time we tried to climb out of the pool,the bees flew back over our heads. We spent the next three hours in the water,putting our heads under the water from time to time to avoid the bees until they finally lost interest.

Only there can you see all of the nice things,which is just like your life.
