While driving, drive on the right side of the road. On one-way, multiple lanes(车道) road, the right-most lane would be slowest and left-most lane is fastest. Hand Signals Though indicators(车的指示灯) are used for the purpose of showing which direction you are going, knowing some hand signals is very important and are usually always asked in a driving test. When you want to turn right, you can put your left hand out of the window and point upward. When you want to make a left turn, you can reach your left arm out of the window and point to the left. If you want to slow down or stop, you can just point downward. School Buses Yellow school buses have flashing red lights and stop signs that reach out from the driver’s side. The drivers use these warning signals when letting pupils on and off. No matter which side of the road you are traveling on, if you come upon a school bus with its lights flashing and a stop sign used, you must stop. It’s the law. Remain stopped until the lights stop flashing or the stop sign is removed. Using the Horn Using horns is not common in America. Actually they are very rarely used. You may use your horn to warn walkers or other drivers of possible trouble or to avoid accidents. Do not use your horn to express anger or complain about other drivers’ mistakes or to try to get a slow driver to move faster. 49.

At least he does today, in the hearts of tens of thousands showing their faithful love for the King on the 25th anniversary of his death. Refusing to let go of fond memories, fans are once again flooding to Graceland, Elvis’ house. This annual event is informally known as “Dead Elvis Week”, an almost religious journey in memory of Elvis’ death on August 16, 1977. Feeling like a cross between an Easter night and Mardi Gras, the week of sadness is hardly a sad affair. In fact, it includes all kinds of parties, concerts, and memorials. The highlight, however, is a candlelight night that more than 10, 000 fans from all over the world took part in. In twos and threes, they walk up to the small poolside garden where Elvis is buried. “The King of Rock’n’ Roll” may be dead, but for these devotees, he is never truly gone. Elvis Aaron Presley wasn’t born a king. As a matter of fact, he grew up dirt-poor in rural Tennessee. Legend(传奇) has it that Elvis was working as a truck driver in Memphis when he made his first recording: a late birthday gift for his mother. Later, when the owner of Sun Records, Sam Phillips, heard Elvis’ stirring voice, he thought he had finally found what he had been looking for — a white man who sounded black. Phillips boasted(夸口) that with Elvis on his label, he would make a million dollars. Early Sun recordings had Elvis on songs and guitar, supported by another guitar and a stand-up bass. He was playing the kind of material he would one day become famous for: blues and country songs. It was a long way from the white jumpsuits and Las Vegas-style concerts everyone now connects with Elvis. But those early recordings helped what the world now knows as rock’n’roll come into being. 53. When did the author write the passage above according to the passage? A. In 1977.B. In 2002. C. Between an Easter night and Mardi Gras. D. Not mentioned. 54. Which of the following is NOT included in “Dead Elvis Week”? A. Parties.B. A parade. (责任编辑：admin) |
