         Driving in a foreign country is always different in at least some ways from driving in your own country. Here are some general points regarding driving in New Zealand.

●       Visitors wishing to drive in New Zealand do not require an international driver's licenses but    are required to carry their local driver's license whenever driving.

●       Vehicles drive on the left-hand side of the road as they do in Britain, Australia, and Japan.         Most rental vehicles will have a sticker reminding you of this important fact.

●       When the traffic light is red, you must stop. There is no left turn rule as in North America.

●       New Zealand road rules follow international standards but please note that in New Zealand    vehicles turning left must give way to traffic turning right.

●       In general, if you are turning left (where there are give-way signs or no signs), give way to        vehicles that not turning. In all other situations, give way to vehicles crossing or coming from    your right.

●       Scat belts must be worn at all times while driving in New Zealand. This stands for the driver and      passengers. The driver is responsible for ensuring all passengers are wearing their seatbelts.

●       Do not drink alcohol before driving in New Zealand－drinking and driving laws are strictly         enforced.

●       Speed limits are in kilometers per hour (kph), not miles per hour (mph).

         Speed conversion: 1 kph equals 0.621mph; 1 mph equals 1.61 kph.

●       The speed limit on the open road is 100km/h. In towns and cities the speed limit is 50km/h.     Be sure to obey all school crossing speed reductions as speed cameras operate regularly throughout New Zealand.

         A．A passenger's not wearing the seat belt has little to do with the driver.

         B．There will be a reminder for driver to remember to drive on the left side.

Driving Rules in Winter

Winter is dangerous because it’s so difficult to know what is going to happen and accidents take place so easily. Fog(雾) can be waiting to meet you over the top of a hill. Ice might be hiding under the melting snow, waiting ahead to send you off the road. The car coming to you may suddenly slip(滑)  across the road.

Rule Number One for driving on icy roads is to drive smoothly(平稳地). Sudden movements can make a car very difficult to control. So very time you either start or stop your car, increase or reduce your speed, you must be as gentle and slow as possible. Suppose you are driving with full cup of hot coffee on the seat next to you. Drive so that you wouldn’t spill(溅) it.

Rule Number Two is to pay attention to what might happen. The more ice there is, the further down the road you have to look. Test how long it takes to gently stop your car. Remember that you may be driving more quickly than you think. Generally, allow twice of your usual stopping distance when the road is wet, three times this distance on snow and even more on ice. Try to stay in control of your car at all times and you will not get into trouble.

48. Winter is dangerous for drivers because there may be ____  or  ____ on the road.

根据阅读材料的描述用英语完成以下任务：（共2分）

50. The passage mainly tells us ______________________________________.

Robert Owen was born in Wales in 1771. At the age of ten he went to work. His employer had a largePrivate library so Owen was able to educate himself. He read a lot in his spare time and at nineteen he was given the job of superintendent(监工) at a Manchester cotton mill. He was so successful there that he persuaded his employer to buy the New Lanark mill in Scotland.

When he arrived at New Lanark it was a dirty little town with a population of 2,000 people. Nobodypaid any attention to the workers' houses or their children's education. The conditions in the factories were very bad. There was a lot of crime and the men spent most of their wages on alcoholic drinks.

Owen improved the houses. He encouraged people to be clean and save money. He opened a shop and sold the workers cheap, well-made goods to help them. He limited the sale of alcoholic drinks. Above all, he fixed his mind on the children's education. In 1816 he opened the first free primary school in Britain.

People came from all over the country to visit Owen's factory. They saw that the workers were healthier and more efficient than in other towns. Their children were better fed and better educated. Owen tried the same experiment in the United States. He bought some land there in 1825,but the community was too far away. He could not keep it under control and lost most of his money.  

Owen never stopped fighting for his idea. Above all he believed that people are not born good or bad.

He was a practical man and his ideas were practical. "If you give people good working conditions," he thought, "they will work well and, the most important thing of all, if you give them the chance to learn, they will be better people."

64. For Owen, his greatest achievement in New Lanark was _____________.

A. improving worker's houses                       B. helping people to save money

C. preventing men from getting drunk             D. providing the children with a good education

A. into a rich family                       B. into a noble family

    A. he lost all his money      

    B. he did not buy enough land
