A

The private car has long played an important role in the United States.

In 1971 eighty

—

three percent of American families owned at least one car, and

twenty--three percent had more than one. By giving workers rapid, convenient

transportation, the car has freed them from having to live near their place

of work. This has helped develop the growth of the suburbs, but it has also

led

to

traffic

problems

in

the

city.

In

addition,

the

car

has

caused

neighborhood

ties to be weak by making it easy to keep up friendship at a distance and to

enjoy leisure activities far from home.

For farm families the car is a great comfort. It has relieved their

loneliness, making it possible for them to travel to town frequently for

business and for pleasure, and also to transport their children to distant

schools.

Family

life

has

been

affected

in

various

ways.

The

car

helps

to

keep

families

together

when

it

is

used

for

picnics,

outings,

camping

trips,

and

other

shared

experiences. However, when teenage children use or own one, they can easily

escape from their parents. For some-- young or old--using a car leads to

dangerous traffic accidents caused by carelessness or by deliberate breaking

of driving laws. In 1971, over 5,000 people were killed in car accidents in

the U. S., and many more were injured. This number has been somewhat reduced

by the gas shortage which has decreased driving to some degree and has also

lowered the speed limit.

For many Americans the car is something necessary as well as convenient. But

for

some,

it

is

also

a

mark

of

social

status,

an

important

middle--class

symbol,

and for young people, a sign of becoming an adult. Altogether, cars mean much

to Americans.

56. The car makes it possible for workers to

A. work in the suburbs

B. make more friends

C. live farther from factories

D. work fewer hours

57. It can be inferred from the passage that before the farmers owned cars,

A. it was not convenient for them to live on their farms

B. they did not feel lonely living on their farms

C. they could not send their children to schools

D. they could only travel to town frequently for business but not for

pleasure

58. Of the car's side effects, the author doesn't mention

A. air pollution

B. traffic problems

C. weak neighborhood ties

D. teenagers' escape from parents

59. From the passage, we can guess that

A. there will be fewer car accidents in the United States

B. the car will cause personal relationship to be weaker

C. people cannot live happily without cars in the United States

D. the car will be merely a mark of social status

60. What's the main idea of the passage?

A. The car has two sides as anything else.

B. The car plays an important role in American life.

C. Some people are not aware of the car's effects on teenagers.

D. The car has advantages though it causes troubles and dangers.

The

Chinese

have

used

a

method

called

acupuncture

to

help

perform

operations

for about 4,000 years without putting the patient to sleep. This involves

inserting flexible needles into certain parts of the body. The needles used
