Every culture has a recognized (公认的) point when a child becomes an adult, when rules must be followed and tests passed.

In China, although teenagers can get their ID cards at 16, many only see themselves as an adult when they are 18. In the US, where everyone drives, the main step to the freedom of adult life is learning to drive. At 16, American teens take their driving test. When they have their license（证）, they drive into the grown-up world.

"Nobody wants to ride the cheese bus to school," said Eleanor Fulham, 17. "It's like you're not cool if you don't have a car," she said.

According to a recent research, 41% of 16 to 19 year olds in the US own cars, up from 23% in 1985. Although, most of these cars are bought by parents, some teens get part-time jobs to help pay.

Not all families can afford cars for their children. In cities with undergrounds and limited(有限的) parking, some teenagers don't want them. But in rich areas outside the city, if there are no undergrounds, and bicycles are more for fun than cars, it is strange for a teenager not to have a car.

But police say 16-year-olds have almost three times more accidents than 18 and 19-year-olds. This has made many parents stop before letting their kids drive. They need to wait until they are more experienced.

Julie Susiana, of Virginia, decided that her son Chad, 15, will wait until he is 17 to apply for his learner's permit (许可)

Chad said he has accepted his parents' decision, although it has caused some laughing from his friends. "They say that I am unlucky," he said. "But I'd rather be alive than driving, and I don't really trust my friends on the road either."

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

1.16-year-old drivers have more accidents possibly because _______.

A. they want to show themselves off

B. they are not experienced drivers

C. older people always drive better

D. they never drive carefully on the road

2.Which may NOT be taken into consideration when deciding whether to buy a car?

A. How rich the family is.

B. Whether the kid is old enough.

C. What traffic condition there is around.

D. Whether it's practically needed.

3.The passage mainly gives information about _______.

A. an American culture about teenagers' driving

B. a change in the Chinese culture

C. a cultural difference between America and China

D. the relationship between driving and a person's development

4.Which may serve as the best title of the article?

A. Cars Helping You to Grow Up               B. Driving into the Grown-up World

C. Teenagers' Driving in America                      D. Recognized Point of Becoming an Adult

九年级英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析

Every child has a dream of what they want to be, right? When Renee Butts was little, her dream was to become a volunteer firefighter because her father was one. Sadly, when she was 14, her father died and she was never able to volunteer with him. Renee's story doesn't end there, however, which is why I think of her as a true hero. She was strong­minded and never gave up, which makes her a good firefighter.

Some days she must be ready to deal with any emergency, like fighting a fire, dealing with a car accident or helping someone who's sick. Other days, she is in the driver's seat. Sometimes, Renee works nine to eleven days a month on 24­hour shifts. She also has a family to take care of. Her husband is a firefighter, too.

Renee remembers the first time she fought a fire. She was awoken early in the morning by the alarm. She said she was very nervous but did what she had to do.

When I asked Renee what the best part of her job is, she replied, “Helping people and saving their lives.” I think that shows signs of being a true hero. She's always glad to do anything for anyone in need. With 140 people in her station, Renee is one of the only three women.

I think she's great. We could never live without people like her who is glad to help others. Renee's deed helps me believe that I can do anything. I hope someday to be just like her: to wake up and help people every day.

Every child has his own dream. Every child hopes to be an adult. However, is it truly like what they imagine? As a boy who lives in modern times and in a modern city, I feel greater pressure（压力） on me with the city’s development.
