Cars are an important part of life in the United States. Without a car, most people feel that they are poor. And even if a person is poor, he doesn’t feel really poor when he has a car.
Henry Ford was the man who first started making cars in large numbers. He probably didn’t know how much the car was going to change American culture. The car made the United States a nation on wheels. And it helped make the United States what it is today.
There are three main reasons why the car became so popular in the United States. First of all, the country is a big one and Americans like to move around it. The car makes the travel the most comfortable and cheapest. With a car people can go to any place without spending a lot of money.
The second reason why cars are popular is the fact that the United States never really developed a practical and cheap public travel system. Long-distance trains have never been as common in the United States as they are in other parts of the world. Now there is a good system of air service provided by planes. But it is too expensive to be used often.
The third reason is the most important one, though. The American spirit of independence is what really made cars popular. Americans don’t like waiting for a bus, or a train or even a plane. They don’t like to have to follow an exact timetable. A car gives them the freedom to plan their own time. And this is the freedom that Americans want most to have.
Less oil has caused a big problem for Americans. But the answer will not be a bigger system of public transportation. The real answer will have to be a new kind of car, one that does not use so much oil.
In the writer’s opinion, cars are popular in the United States mainly because________.
选项
A、Americans like planning their own time
B、Americans do not have enough public transportation
C、Americans will not feel poor when they travel in their cars
D、Americans cannot move around without their own cars
答案
A
解析
推理判断题。根据第五段第二句“The American spirit of independence is what really made cars popular.”和第五段倒数第二句“A car gives them the freedom to plan their own time.”可知,美国人的独立精神是使得小汽车广受欢迎的真正原因,小汽车能够让美国人自由安排自己的时间,而自由安排自己的时间是独立精神的一种表现。由此可推知,小汽车在美国受欢迎的最主要原因是可以让美国人自由安排自己的时间。故选A。
