I got my first driver's license(执照)in 1953 by taking driver education in my first year at Central High School in Charlotte，North Carolina. Four years later when it was time to renew my license I was a married woman. Henry and I were living in Baltimore，Maryland. Two weeks before my 20th birthday，Henry drove me to the motor vehicle office on a hot July afternoon. When I got to the office and showed to the man behind the counter my North Carolina driver’ s license，ready to renew，the man told me that I was under age by Maryland law since I was not yet 21.“Mr.Henry Smith，your husband，will have to sign for you，”he said.
I argued，pointing to a very large belly(肚子)of mine，“I am married. I am having a baby. Why should I have to have someone sign for me to drive？”He answered coldly，“It’s the law，madam.”
Henry encouraged me to calm down，just go ahead and get the license and be done with it. “No，” I said. I refused to have him sign for me. So I left without a Maryland license.
I called the North Carolina Motor Vehicle Office and renewed my NC license by mail—using my name Susan Brown. And thus it was for the next twelve years. Since Henry was in the army I could drive under my home state license. By the time Henry left the army we were once again living in Maryland，and I had to take the Maryland driver’ s exam. Since then I just go in and renew every four years—sign the name Susan Brown，have my new picture taken，and walk out with a license to drive.

(答案→)A 解析：文章介绍了自己在两个不同的州的得到驾照的事情，想告诉我们在美国不同的州有不同的法律。【小题1】A 推理题。根据文章第一段前三行可知我获得驾照是在结婚之前，故A正确。【小题2】D 细节题。根据第2段第2句I am married. I am having a baby. Why should I have to have someone sign for me to drive？可知她不愿意让别人为她签名，要自己签名。D正确。【小题3】B 推理题。通读全文可知北卡罗莱纳州和马里兰州的驾驶法律是不一样的。故B正确。
