14．I got my first driver's license（执照）in 1953by taking driver education in my first year at Central High School in Charlotte，North Carolina．Four years later when it was time to renew my license I was a married woman．Henry and I were living in Baltimore，Maryland．Two weeks before my 20^th birthday，Henry drove me to the motor vehicle office on a hot July afternoon．When I got to the office and showed to the man behind the counter my North Catrolina driver's license，ready to renew，the man told me that I was under age by Maryland law since I was not yet 21．"Mr．Henry Smith，your husband，will have to sign for you，"he said．
I argued，pointing to a very large belly （肚子） of mine，"I am married．I am having a baby．Why should I have to have someone sign for me to drive？"He answered coldly，"It's the law，madam．"
Henry encouraged me to calm down，just go ahead and get the license and be done with it"No，"I said．I refused to have him sign for me．So I left without a Maryland license．
I called the North Carolina Motor Vehicle Office and renewed my NC license by mail-using my name Susan Brown．And thus it was for the next twelve years．Since Henry was in the army I could drive under my home state license．By the time Henry left the army we were once again living in Maryland，and I had to take the Maryland driver's exam．Since then I just go in and renew every four years-sign the name Susan Brown，have my new picture taken，and walk out with a license to drive．

12．Allofasudden （突然） there was a terrific bang and a flash of smoke．

11．Among all the fast growing science and technology，the research of human genes，or biological engineering as people call it，is drawing more and more attention now．Sometimes it is a hot topic discussed by people．
The greatest thing that gene technology can do is to cure serious diseases that doctors at present can almost do nothing with，such as cancer and heart disease．Every year，millions of people are murdered by these two killers．And to date，doctors have not found an effective way to cure them．But if the gene technology is applied，not only these two diseases can be cured completely，bringing happiness and more living days to the patients，but also the great amount of money people spend on curing their diseases can be saved，therefore it benefits the economy as well．In addition，human life span （寿命） can be prolonged．
Gene technology can help people to give birth to more healthy and clever children．Some families，with the English imperial （皇家的） family being a good example，have hereditary diseases．This means their children will for sure have the family disease，which is a great trouble for these families．In the past，doctors could do nothing about hereditary diseases．But gene technology can solve this problem perfectly．The scientist just need to find the wrong gene and correct it，and a healthy child will be born．
Some people are worrying that the gene research can be used to manufacture human beings in large quantities．In the past few years，scientists have succeeded in cloning a sheep，therefore these people predict that human babies would soon be cloned．But I believe cloned babies will not come out in large quantities，for most couples in the world can have babies in very normal way．Of course，the governments must take care to control gene technology．
