14、have thirty seconds to preview the questions. 1 【听力原文】 W: Hey, Mike, what age do you have to be in Canada to drive? M: Well, it used to be 16, but it recently got pushed up to 18. Now again each province controls its driving and the age limits, but in Ontario the age limit went from 16 to 18. W: And

15、 how do you feel about that? Do you think thats a good thing that you have to be 18 instead of 16? M: Yeah, I think it should be 18 or even 20 before youre allowed to drive. W: Really! What do you think about someone who is 17, and so theyve been driving for one year and then the law changes and bec

16、omes 18 as the minimum age? Do you think that person who has been driving should lose his license for one more year? M: Well, no, and I think generally, well, that happened in Ontario. Of course that situation would have arisen.(3)What happens then is generally laws are made so that the people who h

17、ave been driving are then put into a system where they can still drive but theyre under a probation system until 18. W: I see. So why do you think you should wait until you are 18 or 20 to be able to drive? M: Maturity. W: You dont think at 16 youre mature enough? M: No. Because I think at 18 youre

18、an adult, youre more responsible, just like youre not tried in the legal system as an adult until you are 18 years old. I think that it should be the same for driving. W: Yeah, I dont know if I agree because I drove when I was 16. M: So did I. W: Yeah, and I felt mature enough.(4)In fact, I know my

19、father. When he was young, he actually began driving at about 12. When he was about 12 years old, he lived in the countryside and it was OK for him to drive at 12. M: Well, I can understand that because way back then there was a lot less traffic. I think that today because the traffic is a lot worse

20、 its a better idea to have, you know, to make sure the drivers are prepared and mature and understand what to do in case something goes wrong. W: OK, fair enough, but how do you know that someone at 18, who has never driven is any more prepared than someone whos 16? M: Well, you dont, but generally

21、if somebody is older and more mature, then theyre going to be a little bit wiser. Theyre just going to make better decisions. Thats just my opinion. W: OK. Sounds good. 1. What do we know about the age limit for driving in Ontario? 2. What does the man think about the change of the age limit for dri
