There are two ways of driving in the world: if the driver's seat is on the left and cars travel on the right side of the road, it is called "left-hand driving", as it is in China, while the other way of driving is called "right-hand driving", as it is in Britain. Nowadays, around 65% of the world's population drives on the right of the road, while the rest is used to driving on the left.
Though no one knows the exact reasons, it seems likely that people in ancient times travelled on the left of the road. Roman coins show pictures of horsemen passing on each other's right. And right-hand people generally got on a horse from the animal's left. Obviously, it's safer to do this at the left side of the road, and it makes sense(行得通)for the horse to be ridden on the left.
A change happened in the late 1700s. When Napoleon(拿破仑)conquered(攻占)nations, he forced them to travel on the right side of the road, which spread left-hand driving throughout Europe. However, Britain still stuck with the right-hand driving rule and countries which were part of the British Empire were made to follow. This is why India, Australia and the former British colonies(前英国殖民地)in Africa continue to drive on the left. One exception(例外)is Egypt, as that country was defeated(打败)by Napoleon before becoming part of the British Empire.
Some countries changed sides until modern times. Sweden only moved to driving on the right in 1967 and Iceland changed the following year. Ghana changed sides in 1974. On September 7, 2009, Samoa became the third country ever to change from left-to-right-hand driving for the reason that it made it easier to import(进口) cheap cars from right-hand driving Japan, Australia and New Zealand.
So if you want to travel to another country or go on business, make sure you know whether it is left-or right-hand driving to avoid unnecessary troubles.
1.Which picture shows the correct driving in Britain?
A. B. C. D.

A. Sweden changed to drive on the right in 1974.
B. People drive on the left side of the road in Egypt.

D. Napoleon helped with the spread of left-hand driving.
3.What is the writer's purpose for writing this passage?
A. To explain the advantages of the two ways of driving.
B. To introduce the development of the two ways of driving.
C. To complain about the change of the two ways of driving.
D. To compare the differences of the two ways of driving.
The label(标签), Made in China, is one that is becoming increasing common in shopping centers all over the world.
In the United States, shoppers at Wal-Mart, the nation’s largest retailer(零售商), have a wide selection of products mostly produced in China. The large amount of Chinese imports have created a large selection of goods in other countries as people begin to buy more and more products made in China. These goods are even widely available in other Asian nations, where Chinese-made goods are quite popular. Chinese brand names are also becoming more well-known outside China.
When Chinese Americans visit family and friends in their homeland, gifts from the U.S. are a must. But TVs and fashionable clothes aren't rare any more, and anything 'Made in China' shouldn’t be considered in any case.
"When I decide to visit my family members in China, I will have a big headache. What should I buy for them? They may not all speak English, but everyone in China knows those three words," a Chinese American said. "When they see the label 'Made in China,' they will think, 'Why do you send me this?' "
The development of China has surprised the world with its growth. As a result, the other countries are beginning to try to reduce Chinese goods with the use of taxes(税)and import restrictions. However, the development on the Chinese economy still affects the world in many ways.
1.What is the Chinese meaning of the underlined word “brand” in the second paragraph?
A. 品牌 B. 明星 C. 生产地 D. 树枝
2.Why do Chinese Americans usually have a headache if they come back to China?
A. Because their Chinese friends cannot speak English.
B. Because their friends will be unhappy if the gifts are made in China.
C. Because they should give their friends rare gifts.
D. Because they should give their friends fashionable gifts.
3.How do other countries try to reduce the Chinese goods in their own countries?
A. By developing the qualities of their own products.
B. By telling their shoppers not to buy Chinese goods.
C. By importing more Chinese goods.
D. By using taxes and import restrictions.
