I heard you passed your driving test! Congratulations! ZACH: T
13、hanks Olivia! I passed just last week. It feels great to be independent and driving on my own! OLIVIA: I really want to take driving lessons, but I havent been able to find a driving school that will give lessons during the weekends so that I dont have to miss any classes at college. ZACH: The drivi
14、ng school that I used was brilliant and really flexible with their teaching hours. Its really close to school. The address is 67 Kings Road - thats 67-KING-apostrophe-S Road. OLIVIA: Oh thats perfect! I dont like the idea of driving around busy streets. Did your teacher make you drive in urban areas
15、 or did he mainly teach you on roads in the countryside? ZACH: My teacher said that I had to learn on both in order to become a good and experienced driver. We would start in the city centre and then drive north above the city. OLIVIA: He sounds like a good teacher. Would you mind giving me his cont
16、act details so I can ask him for lessons? ZACH: Of course! My mothers friend Daniel Smith referred me to him. His name is Allen Sutcliffe. OLIVIA: Could you spell the surname please? ZACH: S-U-T-C-L-I-double-F-E. OLIVIA: Thanks for helping me out, Ill give him a call tomorrow. I dont know if I shoul
17、d learn in a manual or automatic car. How do I decide? ZACH: I wasnt sure which type of car to learn in either. In the end I chose to learn in a manual car because once youve learnt how to drive manually you can drive automatic as well. Most cars on the road are automatic nowadays. OLIVIA: OK, I thi
18、nk Ill learn with a manual car too then. Hopefully the teacher will be able to give me lessons in the evenings after school! ZACH: It would be much better if you take the lessons during the day. It will be far easier for you to learn when there is enough daylight to clearly see everything going on a
19、round you. But you need to be an experienced driver to drive safely at night. OLIVIA: How frustrating! I was hoping I wouldnt have to take lessons during the weekends! Youre right though, safety comes first! ZACH: Speaking of safety, you should wait until summer to start learning! Its really difficu
20、lt and dangerous to drive in the wind and rain as a learner so you should definitely wait until the weather is sunny and dry. OLIVIA: OK, thats perfect, actually! It will give me some time to save up some money to pay for the lessons. ZACH: Tell me about it! I had to work for months before I had eno
21、ugh money saved up! It was worth all the work when I finally got my driving license though! OLIVIA: The whole process is so expensive! How much did it cost you in the end? ZACH: Well, each half hour lesson cost $30 and then the final test cost $50. In total it cost me about $300. OLIVIA: Gosh, its p
22、retty expensive! How did you find the test? Was it really difficult? ZACH: No, it wasnt too bad, and the man was really calm and friendly. I knew that I would have to perform two parking manoeuvres during the test, so I practised them a lot beforehand and that really helped! The test used to last 40
23、 minutes, but it changed a bit. For the first 20 minutes of the test he gave me directions and I had to just drive around and then the last 10 minutes was for demonstrating the manoeuvres, so the test is 30 minutes in total. OLIVIA: OK, great, Ill remember that! Do you have any more advice? ZACH: It
24、s really good to practise driving a lot outside of driving lessons as well. Whenever my parents were running errands on the weekends I would offer to drive them. My driving teacher also told me to buy a notebook to write down everything that Ive learnt in it like a diary. OLIVIA: Haha, that sounds b
25、oring, but Ill do it if it helps. ZACH: I found it really useful! Before my test I read through everything I had written down and it reminded me of a lot of things that I had forgotten about! Its really helpful for the theory test as well because theres so much information to remember for it. OLIVIA
26、: Thats great, Zach! Thanks for your help! ZACH: No problem, see you at school! OLIVIA: Bye! 1 【正确答案】 67 Kings 【试题解析】 定位至 “The address is 67 Kings Roadthats 67-KINGapostrophe-S Road ”其中 “apostrophe”意为 “撇号 ”，所以填 67 Kings。 2 【正确答案】 north 【试题解析】 定位至 “We should start in the city centre and then drive no

33、ction had to stop before this vision could be realised. In total it cost the government $1 million to sculpt the heads at Mount Rushmore. Before the construction of the presidents heads, the mountain was just bare rock and forest attracting only a few hikers a year. The new carving at Mount Rushmore
34、 has become an iconic symbol of presidential greatness and has appeared in works of fiction and other popular works. The sculpture has also worked perfectly as a way to develop tourism, which was its intended purpose, and now attracts over two million people a year. The original plan was to carve th

Instead he chose to locate the carving at Mount Rushmore due to its grand appearance and brightly lit rock faces that

37、dfathers, however during an expedition in 1885 the mountain was renamed after Charles E. Rushmore, a prominent New York lawyer who joked that his annual treks to the mountain had earned him the right to have it named after him. Forty years after the mountain was renamed, Charles E. Rushmore donated
38、$5,000 towards the sculpting of the presidents heads -the largest single contribution. In 1927 the construction work started and seven years later was complete with no fatalities.

42、amily and friends. Now further up the trail behind the gift shop is a big stone building with a workshop.
