Written Test
1 The written test is given to first time license applicants Monday through Friday from 9:00 A.M. to 4:30 P.M. with lunch from 12:00 P.M.to 1:00 P.M.The testing fee is $50.00 each time you test. You will be required to show two forms of identification before testing. Birth certificates and Social Security cards are acceptable forms of identification.
2 The questions on the test are multiple choice and are derived from the state driver’s manual. You should read the manual thoroughly before attempting the written test. The questions that appear at the end of each section in the manual are similar to those on the test. You will be asked specific questions concerning traffic laws, road signs, traffic signals, and road markings. Please be advised that if you are seeking an endorsement for classifications other than passenger cars and trucks, you will be required to take a supplemental test for each classification. This includes licenses to operate motorcycles, all-terrain vehicles, motor homes, or boats. A score of 75% must be achieved on the written test before applicants will be eligible to attempt the road test.
Road Test
3 The road test will allow potential licensees to demonstrate driving ability in their personal vehicle on a route assigned by the test examiner at that time. The license plates, registration, and insurance on the vehicle must be current. Vehicles not meeting this requirement will not be permitted for use on the road test. The vehicle must be driven to the test site by a licensed driver.
4 Documentation must be provided from a licensed optometrist, ophthalmologist, or vision specialist stating that the applicant’s visual acuity is at least 20/40 with or without corrective lenses. Applicants with visual acuity between 21/40 and 20/70 may be restricted to drive during daylight hours only.
5 All traffic laws must be obeyed during the duration of the route in order to earn a passing score. Additionally, you will be asked to demonstrate correct use of all operational and safety features on the vehicle including the following: rear-view mirrors, side mirrors, emergency flashers, and parking brakes.
6 Applicants must earn a passing score of 75% on both the written test and road test in order to be issued a driver's license.

Options:
A) The written testing fee is $50 and the road testing fee is only $25.
B) Two forms of identification are required before both testing categories.
C) The written test requires a higher passing score than the road test requires.
D) Hours of operation are provided for the written test, but not for the road test.
Answer:
<u>D) Hours of operation are provided for the written test, but not for the road test</u>
Explanation:
- There are pieces of information in both passages about the hours when the test can be taken. For the written test there are given information about the hours that are given from Monday to Friday which are from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM and there is a lunch between that is starting at 12:00 PM and ending at 1:00 PM.
- For the road test, as we can see in point 3, we cannot find the information about the hours of the test-taking and anything like that which means that there is a possibility that the program of the test is always in certain hours.
Good morning one and all present here ,
Tolerance is the advantage of a cultured age. It helps us to put up with those who have diverse traditions and thoughts, distinct philosophies and point of views.
Our ability to tolerate the opinion or behavior other people is the key for living a peaceful life. If we practice patience in our every actions and deed, speech and behavior, it will lead to peace. Otherwise, it would be an atmosphere of disagreement and confusion. In ancient days we had intolerance everywhere. Intolerance means refusal to be just and fair because of being narrow-minded and blind selfishness. It is the result of inflexibility, a certainty that there is only one belief that is right. Without broadmindedness, people waste their energy on pointless arguments.
Man is a social being and has to live in a spirit of harmony and cooperation with others. In this process some amount of giving and take is necessary. So with all these examples, it is crystal clear that tolerance is at the root of the peaceful solution of problems of all kinds. Hence, we have to cultivate the habits of understanding.
How to Promote Peace and Tolerance?
How can one promote peace and tolerance? The first reasonable thing that would probably come to mind is by adopting rules, regulations, laws, and declarations. Just take an example, the General Conference of UNESCO adopted the Declaration of Principles on Tolerance on 16 November 1995.
It must have marked a new chapter in the long evolution of the idea of peace and tolerance, successfully getting it across to every single living being or did it? What if we take a look at it and any other such document from a different perspective, zooming in on just two tiny pieces of the full diversity? Not at the state level but the very grassroots through the eyes of two ordinary representatives of humankind?
Innovative project
Promoting understanding and peace is innovative. We have to remind people why life is beautiful, why they should work together, and why we must help each other. Because it’s not about race, or language, or color, or religion, or who is right and who is wrong, it’s about bringing together our world, healing each other, and embracing diversity, also teaching not to fear but to love, and this in return will give us a new peaceful world.
Acceptance and understanding are the answers to create peace, and this key is the way to implement the values of tolerance, through various means. For instance:
Education: As the great Nelson Mandela said and I quote “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” With an educational system, we can inspire the future generation to live in peace, and they may pass on this idea to their children. Especially in primary school, if children are taught about this continually, there is more chance that the lesson will stick to their minds, and maybe inspire them to do more for their communities and spread peace in the process.
Law: Laws should be fair to everyone, for white, black, Muslim, Christian. Because the law is above all of us, and the justice must consist of all the judgment, and look at people in equal.
Media: Nowadays, media is so powerful, because of it the world becomes a small village, and through it (TV show, news, programs) it will be easier to spread the idea of tolerance and peace and to sow as fast as possible these values in viewer’s hearts.
