Every student in his or her second year of high school is required to take a class in driver's education. However, unlike other courses, it is not given during the regular school year. Instead, it is a summer course. The course is divided up into two parts: class time for learning laws and regulations and driving time to practise driving. Class time is not unlike any other class. The students have a text from which they study the basic laws they must know to pass the written driving test that is given to anyone wanting to get a driver's license. Driving time is a chance for the students to get behind the wheel (steering wheel) and practise starting steering, backing up, parking, switching lanes, turning corners, and all the other maneuvers required to drive a car. Each student is required to drive a total of six hours. The students are divided up into groups of four. The students and the instructor go out driving for two-hour blocks of time. Thus, each student gets half an hour driving time per outing. The instructor and "driver" sit in the front seats and the other three students sit in the back. Drivers Ed cars are unlike other cars in which they have two sets of brakes, one on the driver's side and one on the other side where the instructor sits. Thus, if the student driver should run into difficulties the instructor can take over. The car also has another special feature. On the top of the car is a sign that reads: STUDENT DRIVER. That lets nearby drivers know that they should use extra caution because the student driver is a beginning driver, not very experienced and prone to driving slowly. After the student has passed the driver's education course and reached the appropriate age to drive (this age differs in every state but in most cases the person must be 16 years old), they can go to a designated state office to take their driver's test, which is made up of an eye examination, a written test, and a road test. The... Question: In America, the driver's course mentioned above _ . Options: A: is considered as part of the advanced education B: is given to anyone wanting to get a driver's license C: is carried on at the same time as other courses D: is offered to all the students of Grade 2 in high schools

Article: With the popularity of 3D movies over the past several years , there was no doubt that the technology would make its way into our homes, The question is: Is it really a technology that is going to stay with us , thus deserving an upgrade at this time? Many families have recently bought a new TV set, and the idea of changing it just to take advantage of a technology in its infancy will put many people off the idea. Then there are the additional costs that come along with a 3Dset from needing to get a Blu-ray player that can process the signal to purchasing enough glasses for the entire family to be able to watch a program at the same time. Another issue is that the glasses are expensive as well as complicated, and have also been known to cause headaches, none of which makes for a pleasant experience. While manufacturers are working towards glasses-free technology, it just isn't here yet, and it could be several years before it is commercially successful. That is one of main things that will keep 3D completely in the "fashion" zone for the time being . If the television manufacturers are willing to hold onto the idea until glasses-free choices are available--and they can reach a higher installed user base--this might very well catch on. Everyone needs to remember, however, that these are businesses, and they are in it to make money. If 3D isn't selling at the rate they are comfortable with, then they will dump it and move on to the next thing. Many homes are filled with products that didn't catch on rapidly and companies ended up leaving them with no support. Do you have an HD DVD player? Remember how the MiniDisc was supposed to replace the CD? For now, it's easy to see how 3D televisions could join this list of technologies. There is one _ to the 3D television problem: They have beautiful 2D images. Even if 3D goes away, you still have a great -looking screen and beautiful images. If you are in the market for a new TV and you can afford to drop the couple extra hundred dollars to buy one, you can view it as... Question: We know from the text that 3D TV _ . Options: A: is easy to operate B: has been fully developed C: has many products attached to it D: has already replaced normal TV sets
