The way people in the US travel to and from work has changed a lot in the last fifty years. Before the Second World War, most people lived in the town or the city where they worked. Almost everyone either walked to work or used a good inexpensive transportation system. Many of these systems were electrified and ran on tracks, so they used very little energy.
After 1945, the United States government built many new roads and highways. People moved farther and farther from the cities where they worked because they could drive their cars on these new roads from their suburban (郊区的) homes to work in the city. Some of the big car makers also bought the electrified transportation systems so they could destroy them. As people stopped using public transportation, cities spent less money to fix old buses and trains or to buy new ones. Public transportation got worse and worse.
In the late 1960s, people found out that the increase in the use of cars led to many problems.
A. Before World War I.

[单项选择]Passage Four
People travel for a lot of reasons. Some tourists go to see battlefields or religious shrines(圣地). Others are looking for culture, or simply want to have their pictures taken in front of famous places. But most European tourists are looking for a sunny beach to lie on.
Northern Europeans are willing to pay a lot of money and put up with a lot of inconveniences for the sun because they have so little of it. Residents of cities like London, Copenhagen, and Amsterdam spend a lot of their winter in the dark because the days are so short, and much of the rest of the year in the rain.
