the first rolling off the assembly line(装配线) on september 27,1908. only eleven cars were produced the next month. but eventually henry ford would build fifteen million of them.modern america was born on the road, behind a wheel. the car shaped some of the most lasting aspects of american culture:the roadside diner, the billboard, the motel, even the hamburger. for most of the last century, the car represented what it meant to be americangoing forward at high speed to find new worlds. the road novel, the road movie, these are the most typical american ideas, born of abundant petrol, cheap cars and a never-ending interstate highway system, the largest public works project in history.in 1928 herbert hoover imagined an america with“a chicken in every pot and a car in every garage.”since then, this society has moved onward, never looking back, as the car transformed america from a farm-based society into an industrial power.the cars that drove the american dream have helped to create a global ecological disaster. in america the demand for oil has grown by 22 percent since 1990.the problems of excessive(过度的) energy consumption, climate change and population growth have been described in a book by the american writer thomas l. friedman. he fears the worst, but hopes for the best.friedman points out that the green economy(经济) is a chance to keep american strength. “the ability to design, build and export green technologies for producing clean water, clean air and healthy and abundant food is going to be the currency of power in the new century.”6.why is hamburger mentioned in paragraph 2?a.to explain americans love for travelling by car.b.to show the influence of cars on american culture.c.to stress the popularity of fast food with americans.d.to praise the effectiveness of americas road system.7.what has the use of cars in america led to?a.decline of economy.b.environmental problems.c.a shortage of oil supply.d.a farm-based society.8.what is friedmans attitude towards americas future?a.ambiguous.b.doubtful.c.hopeful. d.tolerant.答案6.b7.b8.ccforget cyclists, pedestrians are real dangerwe are having a debate about this topic. here are some letters from our readers. yes, many cyclists behave dangerously. many drivers are disrespectful of cyclists. but pedestrians are probably the worse offenders. people of all ages happily walk along the pavement with eyes and hands glued to the mobile phone, quite unaware of what is going on around them. they may even do the same thing while crossing a road at a pedestrian crossing or elsewhere. the rest of us have to evade(避让)them or just stand still to wait for the unavoidable collision. the real problem is that some pedestrians seem to be, at least for the moment, in worlds of their own that are, to them, much more important than the welfare of others. michael horani loved the letter from bob brooks about cyclists(viewpoints, may 29). i am afraid they seem to think they own the roads. i was walking across altrincham road one morning when a cyclist went round me and on being asked what he was doing he shouted at me. the government built a cycle lane on the road but it is hardly used. the police do nothing. what a laugh they are!the cyclists should all have to be made to use the cycle lanes and wear helmets, fluorescent(发荧光的)jackets and lights at night and in the morning. they should pay some sort of tax and be fined for not wearing them. carol harveycyclists jump on and off pavements(which are meant for pedestrians), ride at speed along the pavements, and think they have a special right to go through traffic lights when they are on red. i was almost knocked down recently by a cyclist riding on the pavement when there was a cycle lane right next to him. other road users, including horse riders, manage to obey the rules so why not cyclists?its about time they had to be registered and insured, so when they do
