阅读理解。
     In the United States, sixteen, eighteen, and twenty-one are important ages in a person's life. There are
no special celebrations for these birthdays, but each is a time when a person can do new things to mark
their transition (转变) into adult-hood (成人时期).
     After turning sixteen a person can work, get a driver's licence and leave home. Many high school
students learn to drive and get part-time jobs soon after celebrating their sixteenth birthday.
     At the age of eighteen a person in the United States can vote and smoke, but they are prohibited from
going into many nightclubs, buying wine or gambling (赌博) until they are twenty-one.
     In many Latin (拉丁的) cultures, a young woman's fifteenth birthday is important. At this age, she is
regarded as an adult. To mark this special day, families with teenage daughters have a celebration called a
Quinceanera. The day begins with the young woman and her family going to church. Later, there is a party
and many guests are invited.
    In Japan, young people become adults at twenty. At this age, they can legally (合法的) vote, drink wine
and smoke. The second Monday in January is a national holiday called Coming of Age Day. On this day,
twenty-year-olds celebrate by first going to a church to pray with their families. Later, they listen to
speeches given by city and school leaders. Afterward, many celebrate with family or friends late into the
night.
    In some countries, birthday celebrations continue through adulthood. Some people celebrate their fortieth
and fiftieth birthdays, or their retirement (退休) year, with a huge party.

据专家权威分析，试题“阅读理解。 In the United States, sixteen, eighteen, and twen..”主要考查你对  历史文化类阅读  等考点的理解。关于这些考点的“档案”如下：

历史文化类阅读

考点名称：历史文化类阅读

  • 历史文化类阅读：
    本类题型常用的方式是夹叙夹议。叙述的目的是为了议，所以要把握其议才是主要方面。
    阅读这类文章，先弄清其引入的话题，再弄清里面人物对其不同的看法，然后理解作者本身对话题的观点看法或思考。

  • 初中英语阅读理解的解题技巧：
    一、要注意养成良好的阅读心理，阅读时要去掉杂念，心绪要安定，精神要专一，要形成一种惬意的顺向心理。
    切不可一遇到几个生词难句，就心烦意乱，失去自控能力。心理学家告诉我们，任何恐慌，过分紧张的情绪都会形成一种消极因素妨碍大脑的正常思维功能。
    因此，遇到困难一定要从容不迫，心无旁骛。这样才能对所读的文章印象清晰，理解深刻。

    二、要提高视读的速度，考阅读理解，从另一个方面来说，考的是考试速度。因此做阅读理解时，要注意培养自己快速阅读的习惯。
    切不可在个别难懂的词句上磨蹭，只要全篇理解了，个别难懂的词句可以根据上下文和构词法去猜测，去推断。

    三、对文章的评价分析，一定要坚持“词不离句，句不离篇”，要理解文章作者的原意，而不能按你自己的意愿去想当然。
    切记：一想当然，就会出错。
