52、aryland.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 drivers license，ready to renew，the man told me that I was under age by Maryland law since I was not yet 21.
53、“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，“Its the law，madam.”Henry encouraged me to calm down，just go ahead and get
54、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 mailusing my name Susan Brown.And thus it was for the next twelve years.Since Henry was in the army I could

57、 the first time in Maryland because_.Ashe was forbidden to drive by Maryland lawBshe lacked driving experience in MarylandCshe was to give birth to a baby soonDshe insisted on signing for herself答案：D。推理判断题。根据第三段可知，她拒绝丈夫替她签名注册，因此她没拿到驾照。由此可知正是因为她坚持自己签名注册，使她没换证成功。3We can infer from the text that in the US._.AAmerican males should serve in the armyBdifferent states may have different lawsCpeople have to renew their licenses in their home statesDwomen should adopt their husbands family names after marriage答案：B。推理判断题。由马里兰州和北卡罗莱纳州的法律来看，不同的州有不同的法律。
