Question

There are some strange driving laws in different countries.

Countries	Laws
Vietnam	If you’re in Vietnam without a Vietnamese driver’s license, you risk a prison sentence of up to three years.
Russia	In Moscow, if your car is dirty enough to draw dust art, you will be fined about 2,000 rubles (about US 55 dollars). Worse yet, it’s illegal to wash your car by hand in public places – forcing you to take it to one of the few car wash facilities.
Thailand	Drivers – male or female – can’t drive shirtless whether it’s a car, bus, or a tuk-tuk cab.
France	France requires its drivers to carry a portable breathalyzer(便携式酒精测量仪) at all times when driving a car. The one-time breathalyzer cost around US 5 dollars, and if you don’t have one, you will be fined US 15 dollars.
Cyprus	Raising your hands in the car can get you fined of US 35 dollars. The law states a driver can be fined if the person “is in an irregular position inside the car or raises his hand from the steering wheel unnecessarily.”
Japan	Politeness isn’t just the culture in Japan; it is part of driving laws. Splashing(飞溅) a person by driving through a puddle（水坑) with your car will cost you over US 60 dollars. The country is also strict with its DUI (酒驾) laws – riding with or lending your car to a driver who gets caught drinking and driving can lead to a fine costing thousands of dollars.

1.A 细节理解题。根据Russia部分最后一句Worse yet, it’s illegal to wash your car by hand in public places – forcing you to take it to one of the few car wash facilities.可知在俄罗斯自己洗车是非法的，要把车开到专门洗车的地方进行清洗。故A正确。

2.C 推理判断题。根据Cyprus部分最后一句The law states a driver can be fined if the person “is in an irregular position inside the car or raises his hand from the steering wheel unnecessarily.”可知在塞浦路斯，如果在车里你把手放在头上，也就是说手离开了方向盘就会被罚款。故C正确。

3.B 细节理解题。根据Japan部分最后一句The country is also strict with its DUI (酒驾) laws – riding with or lending your car to a driver who gets caught drinking and driving can lead to a fine costing thousands of dollars.说明在日本对酒驾查的很紧，如果你坐在一个喝酒的司机的车里或把车借给一个醉酒的司机，都会被严厉地罚款。故B正确。
