B In different countries around the world, people become “adults at different ages. Being an adult means having the right to do certain things such as vote, get married, or get a license to drive. It also means accepting the responsibilities that accompany these rights. In many countries, sixteen or eighteen is the age at which a person becomes an adult. Young men and women at this age can get a part-time job, and begin to receive an income of their own. In many parts of North America, sixteen is also the age when one can obtain a driver’s license; in England, it is seventeen. There are responsibilities that go along with both of these rights. Getting a part-time job means that you have to pay income tax. Driving a car demands that you follow certain rules and regulations such as getting and paying for insurance to drive. Voting is another right that marks the passage into adulthood for many young people. In the United States, Canada and the U.K, young people have the right to vote at the age of eighteen .With this right also comes responsibility. For young people to use their right to vote wisely, they must have an understanding of the needs of society , and they must also learn how politics works. A group of teenagers in Canada want the Canadian voting laws changed. They think the people should be able to vote at the age of sixteen. They argue that if teenagers at sixteen are old enough to get part-time jobs, pay taxes, and drive, they are also old enough to vote in elections. An organization in the U.S believes that the government should allow its citizens the greatest amount of freedom possible ----- as long as this doesn’t jeopardize the public’s safety. This organization believes that all laws based on ages should be eliminated, and that people should be able to get a part-time job, a driver’s license, get married and vote at any age. Not everyone would agree that it is a good idea to give all of these rights---and the responsibilities that accompany them --- to people when they are too young. The question is: How young is too young? 69.( )The passage is mainly about . A. when young people can get married. B. the age when people have certain adult rights. C. how old someone must be in order to vote D. what responsibility an adult must bear 70.( )What an adult has the right to do among the following is to . A. get a part-time job. B. get a passport C. give the vote only for the president of the country. D. observe the law 71.( )The underlined word jeopardize in the last paragraph but one means . A. maintain B. provide C. guarantee D. harm 72.( )The reason why a person who is too young to enjoy the adult rights is possibly that .. A. people are of the same about how old is old enough.
