In Britain you are allowed to drive a car when you are seventeen. You have to get a special two-year driving license(执照)before you can start .when you are learning ,someone with a full license always has to be in the car with you because you are not allowed to drive the car on the road alone. You don’t have to go a driving school for 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 around for about 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, if you are healthy. 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 1940 car drivers had to have a license. But they didn’t have to take a test before 1935. In 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.

A dog can’t speak words, but it can “talk”. It has feelings just as you do. At times it may feel angry or afraid. Watch a dog closely. You can see what it is trying to tell you. When you are afraid, you may look down shyly. A fearful dog looks away from you. It may run away, too. When you are angry with people, you stare at them and press your lips together. An angry dog also stares. Sometimes the hair along its back stands up.

Do you feel guilty when you have done something you shouldn’t? Dogs can feel guilty too. At times when I come home, my dog gives me a guilty look. Then I know he has done something wrong.

Dogs need love and attention. Some dogs are very unhappy when they are left alone for a long time. Some dogs even snap (撕咬) if they don’t get enough attention.

You may have a dog or you may know a dog. Treat it well if you want to have fun with it. Play with it. Take it on walks. Don’t order it round too much. Try not to punish it one time and not the next for doing the same thing. Always remember, a dog has needs and feelings just as you do. Talk to a dog, it will talk to you, too. 50.

David Beckham is the king of football world , but it is his wife Victoria , former “Posh Spice ” girl ,who makes it . She was the person who turned him from a footballer into a global attractor . Even now that he has left Manchester United for Real Madrid , instead of Barcelona or Milan ,it might be because of her .

“Posh Spice ” has become a name for Victoria . The Collins Dictonary even has the term “Posh and Becks ” (Victoria and David Beckham).

Before meeting Victoria Adams , Beckham was a good-looking and likeable footballer with a bright future at Manchester United .But that was about all . Since he married her in 1999 , he has become the most famous player . British sport has ever produced , and , some say , the most influential（有影响力的）man in the country . “When they got together she was clearly the more popular of the two,” said Andrew Parker ,a sports expert at Warwick University in Britain. She certainly introduced him to a new circle of people and ,all of a sudden ,he was a top list celebrity(名人) .

It’s believed that , behind the high walls and iron gates of their “Beckingham Palace ”it is Victoria who decides everything .

When their baby boy , Brooklyn , fell ill in 2000 ,Beckham left a United training to look after him and this led to his being dropped from the team .Many were sure it was Victoria who had asked her husband to stay at home .

During a trip to the United States this year , Victoria has worked hard to push her husband to the US public . They would not have recognized him if they met him in a car park .

She may appear to have taken a back seat , but Victoria is still at the forefront of the “Posh and Becks” project .
