(2017·贵州贵阳) (B)
In different countries around the world, most children must start schooling at early ages. And they become “adults” at different ages. Being an adult means having the right to do certain things, such as getting a part-time job, voting (投票), getting married, or getting a driving license.
In many countries, sixteen or eighteen is the age when a person becomes an adult. Young men and women at this age can get a part-time job, and begin to receive an income of their own. They no longer have to depend on their parents for money all the time. In Canada and America, sixteen is the age when one can get a driving license; in England, it is seventeen.
There are responsibilities that go along with both of these rights. Getting a part-time job means that you have to pay income tax. Driving a car demands that you follow certain rules like buying car insurance.
Voting is another right that young people enjoy when they become adults. In the United States, Canada and Britain, young people have the right to vote at the age of eighteen. With this right also comes responsibility. For young people to use their right to vote wisely, they must have an understanding of the needs of society, and they must also learn how politics work. 76. The underlined word “right” in Paragraph One means _______ in Chinese. A. 正确 B. 右边 C. 权利
77. In America and Canada, young people who are ______ can get their driving licenses. A. at the age of 16 B. at the age of 15 C. at the age of 14 78. If you drive a car, you have to ________.
