    If you want to do a school project on children's rights(权利), you can look on the Internet for some information. A United Nations website can show you plenty of useful information for the project.

    The United Nations lists the rights of children. Most countries agree all of them, but some countries do not. The following are some of the most important rights of children:

    Children have the right to be properly fed, clothed and sheltered (庇护） by their family. If their family can't do so, the government should take responsibility.

    Children have the right to an education and medical care, which should be provided by the government.

    Children must not be cruelly punished (惩罚）by their parents or any others.

    Children have the right to expect the government to protect them from all kinds of abuse (虐待） and neglect（忽略）.

    No child under fifteen should be made to fight in an army.

    Children have the right to be protected from being made to work too hard to make money for other people.

    In some countries children do not have these rights. Many young children are made to work long hours in factories and on farms. In some countries there are so few schools that only rich children get an education. There are not enough doctors or nurses to help many children when they are sick.

    The rights of children are, therefore, the rights people think children should have. They are not always the rights children really have.

   In Britain you're allowed to drive a car when you're seventeen. You have to get a special two-year driving license before you start. When you're learning, someone with a full license always has to be in the car with you. You don't have to go to a driving school-a friend can teach you. The person with you isn't allowed to take money for the lessons unless he's got a teacher's license. 

   Before you're allowed to have a full license, you have to take a driving test. You can take a test in your own car, but it has to be fit for the road. In the test, you have to drive round for half an hour and then answer a few questions. If you don't pass the test, you're allowed to take it again a few weeks later if you want to. In 1970, a woman passed her fortieth test after 212 driving lessons! When you've passed your test, you don't have to take it again, and you're allowed to go on driving if you like, if you're healthy. Britain's oldest driver was a man who drove in 1974 at the age of 100. 

   Before 1904, everyone was allowed to drive, even children. Then from 1904 car drivers had to have a license.  But they didn't have to take a test until 1935. In the early days of car driving, before 1978, cars weren't allowed to go faster than four miles an hour, and someone had to lead the car with a red flag.
