There
are
three
main
reasons
that
the
car
became
popular
in
the
United

First
of
（

）（

）
the country is a huge one and Americans like
to move around in it. The
car provides
the

comfortable and
cheapest form of transportation. With
a
car people can go any place

spending a lot of money.
first of all
首先
The
（
second
）（
8
）
reason
that
cars
are
popular
is
the
fact
that
the
United

an

and

form
of

public

transportation.

But

The
（

）（

reason is the most important one,
