　　In Britain you're allowed to drive a car when you're seventeen. You have to get a special two-year driving license before you can start. When you're learning, someone with a full license always has to be in the car with you because you aren't allowed to drive the car on the road alone. You don't have to go to a driving school. 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 half 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're 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 1904 car drivers had to have a license. But they didn't have to take a test until 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.

　　For hundreds of years，the British people have remembered their mothers on Mothering Sunday．In the old days，workers had time off from work to visit their mothers．

　　Today，most people in Britain call Mothering Sunday“Mother's Day．”Children send cards to their mothers on that day．They give their mothers flowers or sweets as presents．Fathers and children do all the cooking and housework to give mothers a rest．They do their best to show their love for them．

　　Mrs Ann Reeves Jarvis wanted the people to make friends with each other again，so she started“Mother's Friendship Day.”On that day，she visited all the other mothers in her town and said。“God bless you．Let's be friends with each other again．”

　　Her idea succeeded．The same thing happened in other parts of the country．Soon，all the women in the United States followed her example．After Mrs Jarvis died．her daughter carried on the same idea，but she called“Mother's Friendship Day”as“Mother's Day”．The first Mother's Day was in 1908．In 1914，Mother's Day，the second Sunday in May，became a public holiday．On that day，every public building in the USA flies the American national flag．
