At first, I was very frightened, and I thought I could never learn how to drive a car. Driving a car frightened me because in my home country women never drive, but in the United States every woman has to know how to drive. My husband paid an instructor to teach me how to drive. After that, my husband practiced with me for a long time. My husband always told me that I had to learn. It was important to me and my family. However, I couldnt get my license right away. I failed my driving test two times. After practicing for a long time, I decided to go for my third driving test. I had failed my first test because I was very nervous. Everybody encouraged me to continue practicing. Three weeks later, I decided to try it again, but I failed again. After that, I was very embarrassed（困窘旳）, and I said I couldnt get it, so I stopped practicing for a while.Not knowing how to drive was bad because I couldnt do anything. I had two kids, my husband works, and I had to take care of everything. Driving was so necessary that I decided to try it again. And finally, that time, I passed the test. Now I have my license. I know how to drive, and it has changed my life in some important ways. Now Im driving to the college, learning English and hoping I will get a good job in the future. 21.

Never Give Up (B)Science DailyDutch ecologist Roxina Soler and her colleagues have discovered that subterranean (地下旳) and aboveground herbivorous (食草旳) insects can communicate with each other by using plants as telephones. Subterranean insects issue chemical warning signals through the leaves of the plant. This way, aboveground insects are warned that the plant is already “occupied”.Aboveground, leaf-eating insects prefer plants that have not yet been occupied by subterranean root-eating insects. Subterranean insects send out chemical signals through the leaves of the plant, which warn the aboveground insects about their presence. This messaging makes it possible for spatially-separated insects to avoid each other, so that they do not unintentionally compete for the same plant. In recent years it has been discovered that different types of aboveground insects develop slowly if they feed on plants that also have subterranean insects and vice versa (反之亦然). It seems that a mechanism (机制) has developed through natural selection, which helps the subterranean and aboveground insects to communicate with each other. This avoids unnecessary competition. Through the “green telephone lines”, subterranean insects can also communicate with a third party, namely the natural enemy of caterpillars(毛虫). Parasitic wasps(寄生蜂) lay their eggs inside aboveground insects. The wasps also benefit from the signals sent by the leaves, as these help them find more insects for their eggs. The communication between subterranean and aboveground insects has only been studied in a few systems. It is still not clear how widespread this phenomenon is, say the researchers. 26. How do subterranean and aboveground insects communicate with each other? A. By sending signals through the leaves. B. By giving off particular smells. C. By making soft and beautiful sounds.D. By the signals sent by parasitic wasps. 27. After finding a plant occupied by root-eating insects, aboveground insects will usually_ . A. send out warning signalsB. compete for the same plant C. choose to leave the plantD. fight with the root-eating insects28. Aboveground insects will develop more quickly if their food plants_ . A. are often visited by parasitic wasps B. are not occupied by root-eating insectsC. have more green leaves D. have more subterranean insects29. What does the underlined part “a third party” in Paragraph 4 include? A. Aboveground insects. B. Root-eating insects. C. Caterpillars. D. Parasitic wasps. 30. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Communication between different insects B. How do animals avoid competition? C. Insects use plants as telephones D.
