    题目列表(包括答案和解析)

    　When I was at university，I studied very hard．But a lot of my friends did very little work．Some did just enough to pass exams．Others didn’t do quite enough．Fred Baines was one of them．He spent more time drinking in the Students’ Union than working in the library．

    　　Once at the end of the term，we had to take an important test in chemistry．The test had a hundred questions. In my room the night before the test，Fred was watching TV．Fred usually worried a lot the night before a test．But on that night he looked perfectly calm．Then he told me of his plan．“It’s very simple．There are a hundred questions and I have to get fifty correct to pass the test．I’ll take a coin into the examination room．I haven’t studied a chemistry book for months，so I’ll just toss the coin．That way，I’m sure I’ll get half the questions right．”

    　　The next day，Fred came happily into the exam room．As he sat tossing a coin for half an hour he marked down his answers．Then he left，half an hour before the rest of us．

    　　The next day，he saw the chemistry professor in the corridor．“Oh，good，”he said，“Have you got the result of the test?”The professor looked at him and smiled，“Ah，it’s you，Baines．Just a minute．”Then he reached into his pocket and took out a coin．He threw it into the air，caught it in his hand and looked at it．

    　　“I’m terribly sorry，Baines，”he said，“You failed!”

    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’re learning, someone with a full license always has to be in the car with you because you aren’t 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 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 don’t have to take it again, and you’re 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.
