In the United States, teenagers can get their drivers license when they are only 16 years old, but it feels like forever until that day comes. Trust me, because Ive been there.Getting a drivers license takes a lot of time and energy, but its worth it because it means having a lot more freedom. Im from the rural state of Iowa (爱荷华州) that doesnt have a lot of public transportation, and everything is really spread out. So until I turned 16, my parents had to drive me pretty much everywhere.There were several steps before I got that special plastic card. In Iowa, everyone can get their learners permit at the age of 14, which means you can only drive if your parent is sitting in the seat next to you.The next step was getting my school permit at the age of 15. In the state of Iowa, if you live more than a mile (1.6 km) away from school you can get a school permit. But you can only drive to school and back home. Luckily, I lived just over a mile away from school, so I was able to drive my moms car to school. But if you were caught going outside that route (路线) you would get in big trouble.Finally, after taking and passing a three-month-long drivers education course and the final test, I was able to get my drivers license. I could almost taste the freedom already, and it did make life quite a bit easier.（1）What does the writer think of getting a drivers license at the age of 16? A . Its useless to have a drivers license at that age.B . It gives her freedom to do everything she wants.C . It helps a lot in her daily life to have a drivers license.D . Its not worth so much energy to have a drivers license.（2）If a girl has a learners permit in Iowa, she _.a. must be at or over the age of 14 b. must be at or over the age of 16c. can drive everywhere in the US d. can drive when there is a parent sitting beside herA . a cB . b cC . b dD . a d（3）If you live 1 mile away and have got a school permit in Iowa, _. A . you can only drive your parents carB . you can only drive a mile every school dayC . you can only drive inside your schoolD . you can only drive to school and back home（4）From the last paragraph, we know that _. A . every 16-year-old can easily get a drivers licenseB . you dont need to take the course if you can pass the testC . the drivers education course and the test take three monthsD . you can get a drivers license after taking a three-month course18. （10分）根据短文内容，选择正确答案。Everything happens for the best.
