7.Why does most of the world travel on the right side today?Theories differ,but there's no doubt Napoleon was a major influence.The French have used the right since at least the late 18th century.Some say that before the French Revolution,noblemen drove their carriages on the left,forcing the peasants to the right.Regardless of the origin,Napoleon brought right-hand traffic to the nations he conquered,including Russia,Switzerland and Germany.Hitler,in turn,ordered right-hand traffic in Czechoslovakia and Austria in the 1930s.Nations that escaped right-hand control,like Great Britain,followed their left-hand tradition.
The U.S.has not always been a nation of right-hand drivers; earlier in its history,carriage and horse traffic travelled on the left,as it did in England.But by the late 1700s,people driving large wagons pulled by several pairs of horses began promoting a shift (改变) to the right.A driver would sit on the rear (后面的) left horse in order to wave his whip (鞭子) with his right hand; to see opposite traffic clearly,they travelled on the right.
One of the final moves to firmly standardize traffic directions in the U.S.occurred in the 20th century,when Henry Ford decided to mass-produce his cars with controls on the left ( the reason was stated in a 1908 catalog:the convenience for passengers exiting directly onto the edge,especially if there is a lady to be considered).Once these rules were set,many countries eventually adjusted to the right-hand standard,including Canada in the 1920s,Sweden in 1967 and Burma in 1970.The U.K.and former colonies such as Australia and India are among the Western world's few remaining holdouts(坚持不变者).Several Asian nations,including Japan,use the left as well-though many places use both right-hand-drive and left-hand-drive cars.
9.Why did people in Switzerland travel on the right?C
A.They had used the right-hand traffic since the 18th century.
B.Rich people enjoyed driving their carriages on the right.
C.Napoleon introduced the right-hand traffic to this country.
D.Hitler ordered them to go against their left-hand tradition.
10.Of all the countries below,the one that travels on the right isA.
A.Austria              
B.England             
C.Japan                
D.Australia
11.Henry Ford produced cars with controls on the leftB.
A.in order to change traffic directions in the U.S.
B.so that passengers could get off conveniently
C.because rules at that time weren't perfect
D.though many countries were strongly against that
12.According to the passage,which of the following is TRUE?C
A.Before the French Revolution,all the French people used the right.
B.People in Britain and the U.S.travel on the same side nowadays.
C.The Burmese began to travel on the right in 1970.
D.All the Asian nations use the left at present.

15.Taking a math test can be pretty stressful.Even if you know the material,you can still get the problem wrong.(36)D Therefore you'll improve your grades,as well as your math skills.
Write it out
You can also check a math problem by writing everything out on paper.(37)G Writing out math problems reduces your chances of missing anything to the lowest possible level,which is a common cause of incorrect answers.
(38)A
Make sure your answers work by doing the opposite procedure of what your problem calls for,including the answer you got the first time around.In other words,you would use the opposite of this addition problem-subtraction (减法)-to determine whether your answer is the correct one.
Plug in(代入)
You may find that a variable isn't good enough or have a problem where you have to solve for a variable. (39)C This is the only real way to assure yourself that the answer you've found is correct.(40)F
If the result of a problem seems to make no sense,it indicates that the answer is incorrect.For example,if you get an answer in the millions and you know it should be in the thousands,you've likely misplaced a point.Go back through the work on your paper to make sure all of your formulas and calculations are correct.If everything looks okay,do the problem again and compare the result of the second try to what you've got on the first try.

A.Do the opposite.
B.Correct the answers.
C.Plug the variable in the equation (方程) to check it out.
D.Knowing how to go through your math test and checking your work can save you from handing in a test full of mistakes.
E.It also helps you to figure out everything after you have already finished the test.
F.Check for a reasonable answer
G.This helps you to know what information you have and what information you need to solve.
