But eight months ago our car was hit by a passing vehicle and it was destroyed. No problem, I thought: well buy another. But the insurance payout didnt even begin to cover the costs of buying a new carI worked out that, with the loan (贷款) wed need plus petrol, insurance, parking permits and tax, we would make a payment as much as 600 a month. And thats when I had my fancy idea. Why not just give up having a car at all? I live in London. We have a railway station behind our house, a tube station 10 minutes walk away, and a bus stop at the end of the street. A new car club had just opened in our area, and one of its shiny little red Peugeots was parked nearby. If any family in Britain could live without a car, I reasoned, then surely we were that family. But my new car-free idea, sadly, wasnt shared by my family. My teenage daughters were horrified. What would their friends think about our family being “too poor to afford a car”? (I wasnt that bothered what they thought, and I suggested the girls should take the same approach.) My friends, too, were astonished at our plan. What would happen if someone got seriously ill overnight and needed to go to hospital? (an ambulance) How would the children get to and from their many events? (buses and trains) People smiled as though this was another of my mad ideas, before saying they were sure Id soon realize that a car was a necessity. Eight months on, I wonder whether well ever own a car again. The idea that you “have to” own a car, especially if you live in a city, is all in the mind. I liveand many other citizens do tooin a place that has never been better served by public transport, and yet car ownership has never been higher. We worry about rising car costs, but wed be better off asking something much more basic: do I really need a car? Certainly the answer is no, and Im a lot richer because I dared to ask the question.24. The author decided to live a car-free life partly because _. A. the cost of a new car was too muchB. the traffic jam was unbearable for himC. most families chose to go car-freeD. he was hurt in a terrible car accident25.

What conclusion did the author draw after the eight-month car-free life? A. A car-free life does not suit everyone. B. Life cannot go without a car. C. His life gets improved without a car. D.Life without a car is a little bit hard.C Whether you own a small or large business, its important that you apply technology to business.
