Leap Year

Leap year is a year that has 366 days instead of the usual 365．It normally occurs every four years, always on an even-numbered year．The extra day is added to our shortest month．That is the second month of the year, which in non-leap years has 28 days, two fewer that any other month． 71

Leap year is also called the bissextile year． 72 In our calendar system there is a need for a leap year because the solar year （the time it takes the earth to go around the sun once） is actually slightly more than 365 days long．That extra day—Feb．29 every four years—helps correct the difference between our calendar and the solar calendar．

Leap year was first made part of the calendar by the ancient Roman leader Julius Caesar．His astronomers had calculated the length of the solar year to be 365 days and six hours．So Caesar declared that an extra day be added to the calendar． 73

Caesar's adjustment, however, was not entirely accurate because his astronomers' year exceeded the true solar year by eleven minutes and fourteen seconds．By 1582, a difference of ten days had developed between the calendar year and the true solar year．To correct this error, Pope Gregory XIII ruled that every fourth year would continue to be a leap year except for century years that could not be divided evenly by 400．By this system, century years such as 1700, 1800, and 1900 were not leap years, but the year 2000 was a leap year． 74

Persons born on Feb．29 celebrate their growing up a little differently from the rest of us． 75 But if they go strictly by the calendar, they have only one-fourth as many birthday celebrations as most people．

A．This is done every four years．

B．This is its formal, or scientific title．

C．This may seem complicated, but it works．

D．They acknowledge that they get older each year．

E．The leap year was introduced in the Julian calendar in 46 BC．

F．When you see Feb．29 on a calendar, you know that year is a leap year．

G．In a leap year, the extra day is added to the second month, giving it 29 instead of the usual 28 days

DANBURY — Cheryl Kunst knows a new restriction on teen drivers will help keep them safe, but she worries that it will affect the amount of time she can spend teaching her daughter to drive.

The new restriction, which took effect Monday, limits the number of passengers that teenagers with learning permits are allowed to carry. Teenagers with a permit can only drive with the parent or licensed driver who is teaching them.

“I understand the safety issues, but it will make it more difficult to get in the driving hours my daughter needs,” said the Danbury woman, who has been teaching her 16-year-old daughter, Sarah, to drive for the last month. “A lot of times I’ll let her drive while we’re doing errands (短差) and a friend or her little sister might be in the car. We won’t be able to do that now.”

David Scribner, who authored the state’s graduated license laws, said despite the inconvenience, the new regulation will save lives.

“The highest percentage of accidents with a young driver is caused by distractions (分心),” Scribner said. “It makes sense to prevent the distractions, especially when a teenager is learning to drive. It creates better conditions to learn under and will give the teenagers higher levels of self-confidence when driving.”

Barry Thayer, director of the Thayer Driver Education Center on Padanaram Road, said, “I always warn parents that during the first or second hour of driving, there shouldn’t be any other passengers in the car,” he said. “But after a few hours, it can work out fine. The new law sounds nice, but it has its disadvantages. My only concern is that it could mean parents won’t be able to spend as much time on the road with their kids.”

60. Cheryl Kunst is worried that ________.

A. the new restriction won’t be carried out successfully

B. her daughter won’t drive by herself

C. she has less time to teach her daughter to drive

D. her daughter won’t be safe when driving

61. According to the new restriction, ________.

A. teenagers without a permit should drive with their parents

B. teenagers with a permit can’t carry their classmates

C. Sarah can’t learn to drive from her mother any more

D. parents can teach their children to drive at any time

62. David Scribner thought that ________.

A. teenagers should pay more attention when driving

B. teenagers should enjoy themselves in the car

C. parents should give their children more chances to drive by themselves

D. the new rule would save parents’ driving time

63. The main idea of the passage probably is ________.

A. Sarah is learning to drive with her mom’s help B. people are not satisfied with the new restriction

C. experts’ worry about teenagers driving D. people’s opinions on the new rule
