Ex1: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Most journeys in Britain and the US are made by road. Some of these are made on public transport but most are by private car.
In Britain many people rely on their cars for daily local activities, e.g. getting to work, doing the shoppong and visiting friends. Poeple living in urban areas may use buses, trains or, in London, the Underground, to get to city centres, mainly because traffic is often heavy and it is difficult to find anywhere to perk a car. Some places in the country may have a bus only two or three times a week so people living there no choice but to rely on their cars.
In the US large cities have good public transportation systems. The EI railroad in Chicago and the underground syctems of New York, Boston, San Francisco and Washington, DC sre heavily used. Elsewhere most Americans prefer to use their cars. Families often have two cars and, outside major cities have to drive fairly long distances to schools, offics, shops, banks, etc. Many coolege and even high - school students have their own cars.
Long - distance tracvel in Britain is also mainly by road, through railway link most toens and cities. Most places are linked by motorways or other fast roads and many people prefer to drive at their own convenience rahter than use a train , even though they may ghet stuck in a traffic jam. Long - distance coach/ bus services are usually a cheaper alternative to trains, but they take longer and may be less comfortable. Some long - distance travel, especically that undertaken for business reasons, may be by air. There are regular flights between regional airpots as well as to and from London. A lot of freight it also distributed by road through heavier items and raw materials often go by rail.
In the US much long - distace travel is by air. American has two main long - distance bus companies, Greyhound and Trailways. Amtrak, the national network, provides rail services for passengers. Private railway companies such as Union Pacific now carry only freight thought in fact over 70 % of freight goes by road.
The main problems associated with road transport in both Britain and the US are traffic congrstion and pollution. It is predicted that the number of cars on British roads will increase by a third within a few years, making both these problems worse. The British government would like more people to usr public transport but also far they have had little success in persuading people to give up their cars or to share rides with neighbours. Most people say that public transport is simply not good enough. Americans too have resisted government requests to share cars because it is less convenient and restrictis their freedom.
Petrol/ gasoline is relatively cheap in the USA and outside the major cities public transport is bad, so they see no reason to use their cars less.
According to the passsge, peole in Britain refuse public transport because....
A. they like to share rides with neighbours
B. they think it is not good enough
C. they see no reason to use their cars less
D. petrol is relatively cheap in Britain
