In Britain you’re allowed to drive a car when you’re seventeen. You have to get a special two-year driving license before you can start. When you’re learning,someone with a full license always has to be in the car with you because you aren’t allowed to drive the car on the road alone. You don’t have to go to a driving school --- a friend can teach you. The person with you isn’t allowed to take money for the lesson unless he’s got a teacher’s license.
Before you’re allowed to have a full license, you have to take a driving test. You can take a test in your own car, but it has to be fit for the road. In the test you have to drive round for about half an hour and then answer a few questions. If you don’t pass the test, you’re allowed to take it again a few weeks later if you want to. In 1970 a woman passed her fortieth test after 212 driving lessons! When you’ve passed your test, you don’t have to take it again, and you’re allowed to go on driving as long as you like. Britain’s oldest driver was a man who drove in 1974 at the age of 100.
Before 1904 everyone was allowed to drive, even children. Then from 1904 car drivers had to have a license. But they didn’t have to take a test until 1935. On the early days of car driving, before 1878, cars weren’t allowed to go faster than four miles an hour, and someone had to lead the car with a red flag.

　　Timothy Lloyd, whose parents were both doctors, had always wanted to work in medicine. At last he did quite well in the examination, well enough to get into a school of nursing. On his first school day, Timothy was so excited that he could hardly eat any breakfast, and left home so early that he was at the school long before it opened.

　　The first thing he had to do was to have a meeting with new head of the school, whose name was Thompson, and other new students. The head, a woman who had herself been in the nursing profession(職業(yè))for many years, congratulated the new students on entering the nursing profession, shook hands with each of them and hoped them to work hard during their time at the school. She warned them that their work would not be easy, begged them always to remain sincerely loyal(真誠(chéng)地忠于職守) to their chosen profession and then wished them good luck.

　　When that was all over, the new students went off to their first lesson. The teacher whose class they joined always gave his new students a test on the first day, to judge how much they already knew, to see how clever they were, and so on.

　　“Does anyone know,”he asked,“why a doctor wears a mask(口罩) while he or she is doing an operation?”

　　“Oh, yes,”Timothy answered quickly.“Because then, if the operation isn't successful, the patient won't know whose fault (過(guò)錯(cuò)) it was!
