一、阅读理解(总题数：5，分数：100.00)
I was due to take my driving test at 11: 30 am. It was a rainy morning with low clouds and as I approached the driving school at 9: 50 am, my heart sank. My driving instructor, Stan, said something, trying to drive away my fears, but I was not impressed.
We set off for the test centre with an hour to go. I wanted a run round the test circuit, but we got stuck in a traffic jam, and could only drive no faster than walking.
We arrived at the test centre at 11 am. Start made me watch a group of six learners emerging from the building with their respective examiners. Their instructors were looking out from two windows. We watched them drive off. They must have been feeling very nervous.
Stan took me round the probable test track, pointing out the traps. The weather became even worse. It seemed to make me feel worse too. I had developed a couldn't-care-less mood, and was almost calm. We returned to the test centre in time to see the six unfortunates returning.

Their nerves must have been in a terrible state.
I sat in the waiting room until six examiners came in to call out our respective names. Mine showed no emotion as he asked me to go to my car. I showed none either, but the tension began mounting again.

The resources of the library can be helpful even when we are doing something very inform
al, such as trying to devise a better way to measure attitudes toward music or looking for a better way to teach mathematics. The library can be equally helpful when we are doing something very formal, such as writing a dissertation or preparing an article for publication in a professional journal. In either case, our goal should be to use the library as a useful tool to help us understand and solve our problems.
The following sections of this chapter will describe specific resources available in many libraries. In some cases you may already be aware of a resource and may use it frequently and successfully. In other cases you may be completely unfamiliar with a resource. Your goal should be to become aware of what is available and to know how to use each of these resources to help you solve the problems.
When educators have a piece of information that they want to share with their colleagues, they often make this information available in professional journals or at professional meetings. It would often be useful to have access to such information, and this chapter will describe the special services that enable us to locate such information.
