much for yesterday’s test. ( B )Ken:

Do you have to re-sit it?

David: ( C ) If I get a very low mark, I won’t be allowed to just take the test again. ( D )Ken:Oh, I’m sorry to hear that. ( E ) Want to go out for a bite?

David: Yes. ( F )Ken:So, do you have any plans for this weekend with Mika?

David:( G ) She keeps texting me and asking me if I want to go to the movies, but I haven’t
said yes.

Ken:( H ) I thought you liked her.

David:I like her. She’s nice, but she always chooses Disney movies. To tell the truth, I’m
not that keen on Disney movies. As for movies, we don’t have much in common.

( A ) you know, cars drive on the right in the United States and nearly all countries in
Europe. Only in a few countries—the United Kingdom, Australia, India—do cars drive onthe left as in Japan.
Australia used to be a British colony, as was India, so it’s easy to understand why(1)those countries drive on the left: they were imitating Britain.

But why does Japan alsostick ( B ) the left?
When Japan was Westernizing, it used Britain as a model for its railroads and manyother things. You might think that automobile driving was copied as well, but (2) in that case
you would be wrong.
The keep-to-the-left tradition in Japan dates back even ( C ) than the Meiji period.
There were no automobiles then, so the roads were used only by horse-drawn carts,palanquins, and pedestrians.

The latter group included samurai who walked along

arrogantly, always keeping to the left, just as students at driving schools are taught to (3) dotoday.
The samurai [ 1. a

2. for

3. had

4. reason

5. walking ] on the left. Theswords they ( D ) at their waists usually hung to the left, so they had to walk on the left side of
the road ( E ) order to be able to draw their swords quickly.
To avoid bumping into samurai and making them angry, the carts and otherpassersby followed the samurai and kept to the left.

Following (4) this tradition, it wasdecided in 1900 that both pedestrians and vehicles should keep to the left.
In 1950, the rule was changed and required only cars to stay on the left.

As

automobile use ( F ) to grow, pedestrians were shifted to the right.
Although lip service is paid to putting pedestrians first, in today’s car-obsessed Japaneveryone knows that cars, like the samurai of old, barge down the roads and force others toget ( G ) of their way.
