Every culture has a recognized point when a child becomes an adult, when rules must be followed and tests　 　1　 .

In China,　 　2　 　teenagers can get their ID cards at 16, many only　 　3 　themselves as an adult when they are 18. In the US, where everyone drives, the main 　4　 　to the freedom of adult life is learning to drive . At 16,　 　　5　 　teens take their driving test. When they have their 　6　 　, they drive into the grown – up world.

“　 7　 　wants to ride the cheese bus to school,” said Eleanor Fulham, 17. She recalled the pressure, 　　8　 from kids from wealthier　 families. “It’s like you are not cool　　 9　 　you don’t have a car,” she said.

　 　10　 　recent research, 41 percent of 16 to 19 – year – olds in the US own cars, 　11　 　from 23 percent in 1985. Although most of these cars are bought by parents, some teens get part – time jobs to help　 　12　 　.

Not all families can　 　13　 　cars for their children. In cities with subways and　 　14　 　parking, some teenagers don’t want cars. But in rich suburb areas without subways, and where bicycles are more for fun than　 　　15　 　, it is strange for a teenager not to have a car.

　　 16　　 police say 16 – year – olds have almost three times more accidents than 18 and 19 –year – olds. This has made many parents　 　17　 　before letting their kids drive.

Julie Sussman, of Virginia, decided that her son Chad, 15, will wait until he is 17 to 　　18　 　his learner’s permit.

Chad said he has accepted his parents’ decision, although it has caused some teasing(奚落) from his friends. “They say that I am　 　19　 ,” he said. “But I would rather be alive than driving, and I don’t really trust my friends on the road either.”

In China 　　20　 　more families get cars, more 18 – year – olds learn to drive. Will this become a big step to becoming an adult?
