Every culture has a recognized point when a child becomes an adult, when rules must be followed and tests  1  .

       In China,  2  teenagers can get their ID cards at 16, many only  3 themselves as an adult when they are 18. In the US, where everyone drives, the main _4_ to the freedom of adult life is learning to drive. At 16,  5 teens take their driving test. When they have their 6 , they drive into the grown-up world.

       “7 wants to ride the cheese bus to school, " said Eleanor Fulham, 17. She recalled the pressure 8  from kids from wealthier families. "It's like you're not cool 9   you don't have a car,” she said.

       10  recent researches, 41 percent of 16 to 19-year-olds in the US own cars, 11 from 23 percent in 1995. Although most of these cars are bought by parents, some teens get part-time jobs to help 12 .

       Not all families can  13  cars for their children. In cities with subways and  14  parking, some teenagers don't want cars. But in rich suburban areas without subways, and where bicycles are more for fun than  15 , it is strange for a teenager not to have a car.

       16 police say 16-year-olds have almost three times more accidents than 18 and 19-year-olds. This has made many parents   17 before letting their kids drive. Julie Sussman, of Virginia, decided that her son Chad, 15, will wait until he is 17 to  18  his learner's permit.

       Chad said he has accepted his parents' decision, although it has caused some teasing (奚落) from his friends. "They say that I am   19 , " he said．"But I'd rather be alive than driving, and I don't really trust my friends on the road either."

       In China  20 more families get cars, more 18-year-olds learn to drive. Will this become an important sign to becoming an adult?

McDonald's is the world single biggest food provider with annual sales of around $12.4bn. And the company's symbol Ronald McDonald is now （or so the company claims） the world's most recognized person after Santa Claus.

The first McDonald's restaurant was opened in San Bernardino, California, in 1948 by brothers Mac and Richard “Dick” McDonald. Mac ran the restaurant side; Dick was the marketing genius. He had already invented the drive-in laundry and had been the first person to use neon lights in advertising. Now he spotted the gap in the post-war, baby-boom market for cheap, family-orientated restaurants with simple menus, standardized food and efficient service.

After a slow start, business began to boom. By 1954, the brothers were joined by another entrepreneur, a kitchen equipment salesman called Ray A Kroc who owned the franchise to the Multimixer, milk shake maker used throughout the McDonald's chain. A year later, Kroc had bought the McDonald brothers' chain of 25 franchises for the equivalent of around $70m（￡44m）. Dick remained with the company until the Seventies, when he and Kroc fell out over Kroc's claim that the chain was his creation.

Today, an almost Stalinist cult of personality surrounds Kroc （who died in 1984） at McDonald's, while the brothers who gave the company its name have all but been written out of its history. But though Kroc did not found McDonald's, he was certainly responsible for the empire-building philosophy which led to its world domination. He ushered in such essential contributions to international cuisine as the Big Mac （1968） and the Egg McMuffin （1973）; and helped launch Ronald McDonald —— “in any language he means fun” —— on to television in 1963.

Every three hours, a new McDonald's franchise opens somewhere in the world; it can be found in more than 100 countries including India （vegetarian-only to avoid offending the non-beef-eating populace） and Israel （non kosher, despite fierce local objection）. McDonald's chain embodied the thrusting, can-do spirit of Fifties America with staff mottoes such as “If you've got time to lean, you've got time to clean.”
