For 30 years, Randy J. Murphy drove without being stopped by the police—and without a driver’s license.

　　The 46-year-old man’s luck came to an end last May. On his way home from his job as a dishwasher, he turned up the radio in the car.

　　“I just turned the corner, and there was Mark,” Murphy said of the police officer who has since made such a difference in his life.

　　Officer Mark Taylor had stopped the car as he heard the blaring music. When he asked for a driver’s license, Murphy said that he didn’t have one.

　　Murphy told Taylor he couldn’t read well enough to take the written part of the licensing test. “He said people just don’t help any more. I told him if he was willing, I’d help him, ” said Taylor. He gave Murphy his phone number. That afternoon Murphy called the officer.

　　For the next three months, the men met several times a week to review the questions which might appear in the test. When Murphy took the test, Taylor went with him. Murphy passed on his sixth attempt. He then sailed through the road test. On September 5, he got his license.

　　Taylor’s act of kindness won him the Officer of the Month award from Knoxville Police Department. “People should help each other if they can, ”Taylor said. “Randy did all the work. I just guided him along. ”

　　Although Murphy has overcome the difficulty that kept him from getting a driver’s license, he hasn’t stopped there. “We still meet once a week to read, ”Taylor said. “We’ve also become friends. ”

　　“I m glad he pulled me over now, ”said Murphy.

　　In America, drivers' education is part of the regular high school curriculum. Every student in his or her second year of high school is required to take a class in driver's education. However, unlike other courses, it is not given during the regular school year. Instead it is a summer course.

　　The course is divided up into two parts: class time for learning laws and regulations and driving time to practice driving. Class time is not unlike any other class. The students have a text from which they study the basic laws they must know to pass the written driving test that is given to anyone wanting to get a driver's license.

　　Driving time is a chance for the students to get behind the wheel (steering wheel) and practice starting, steering, backing up, parking, switching lanes, turning comers, and all the other maneuvers (操作) required to drive a car. Each student is required to drive a total of six hours. The students are divided up into groups of four. The students and the instructor go out driving for two-hour blocks of time. Thus, each student gets half an hour driving time per outing. The instructor and“driver”sit in the front seats and the other three students sit in the back.

　　Drivers Ed cars are unlike other cars in which they have two sets of brakes, one on the driver's side and one on the other side where the instructor sits. Thus, if the student driver should run into difficulties the instructor can take over. The car also has another special feature. On the top of the car is a sign that reads: STUDENT DRIVER. That lets nearby drivers know that they should use extra caution (小心) because the student driver is a beginning driver, not very experienced and prone to driving slowly.

　　After the student has passed the driver's education course and reached the appropriate age to drive (this age differs in every state but in most cases the person must be 16 years old), they can go to a designated state office to take their driver's test, which is made up of an eye examination, a written test, and a road test. The person must pass all three tests in order to be given a driver's license. If the person did well in his or her driver's education class, he or she will pass the test with flying colors and get a driver's license.

1．In America, the driver's course mentioned above ______.

[　　]

A．is considered as part of the advanced education

B．is given to anyone wanting to get a driver's license

C．is carried on at the same time as other courses

D．is offered to all the students of Grade 2 in high schools

2．To prevent accidents, a drivers Ed car ______.

[　　]

A．has a sign inside it

B．has two sets of brakes

C．is big enough to hold five persons

D．can't run very fast

3．We can infer that the students are required to ______ in their whole driving practice.

[　　]

A．go out driving for twelve times

B．spend at least six hours driving

C．drive for two-hour blocks of time

D．get half an hour driving

4．Which of the following does not agree with the requirements for the students wanting to get their driver's license?

[　　]

A．They must be 16 years of age.

B．They should go to have their driver's test.

C．They must have their eyes examined.

D．They ought to do well in their driver's course.

5．In the last sentence “with flying colors” means ______.
