Many people believe that Americans love their cars almost more than anything else. It may be true. From the time youngsters (小孩) become fourteen years old they are likely to dream of having their own cars. Many young people work after school during their 1st year of high school in order to buy a car. Learning to drive and getting a driver's license (执照) may be one of the most exciting times of a young person's life.
People who almost never go to a doctor when they are sick will take their cars to a repairman at the first sign of a problem. Those who don't like to work around the home on Saturdays may devote most of that day to washing and waxing (打蜡) their cars. For some families it is not enough to have one car. They often have two or three--one for work and one for recreation (娱乐).
Many men and women in the United States need to have a car. Many need a car to go to work. Housewives need a car to go shopping or to take the children to school or other activities.
In most states young people learn to drive in high school, where driver training is one of the most popular courses. At the end of the course the student must take a driving test to get a license. For many, the piece of paper is an important symbol (象征) that they are now grown-ups.
