London, like so many big cities, has traffic problems that seem to get worse and worse every year. Tom Jonkins, a London bus driver, was asked what he would do to improve the situation if he were put in charge of London Transport. This is what he said:
"If you put me in charge of London Transport, I’ d make a num ber of changes. I’d forbid private (私人的)cars to go through central between 7:00 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. unless the owners actually live in the area. I’d build a lot of new, cheap car parks near the railway sta tions on the skirts (效区) of the city so that people could leave their cars there and travel to and from work by train. I’d fix a standard fare (统一车费) for all bus or tube (地铁) journeys in the centre, and I’d make it possible for people to buy ten or a dozen tickets at one time at a reduced price; then the buses and taxis would be able to move much more quickly and easily, and life would become more comfortable for everyone./
There are stock markets in large cities
in many countries. Stock markets in Pads, London, Tokyo, Shanghai and New York
are among the largest and most well-known. The stock market, also called stock
exchange, is a place where people can buy or sell shares of a factory or a
Company. And each share means certain ownership of a factory or a
company. Different people go to stock markets. Some are rich, who want to get more money than they have. Others are not rich, who buy stocks and try to become rich. Still others buy stocks as part of their plan to save money. Of course, investing money in the stock market is not the safest way to make money. No one can tell exactly whether the shares will be doing well. The factory or the company may do badly. Then the stocks will go down, and investors will lose money. The stock may go up or down for a number A. can buy the company or the factory B. can sell the company or the factory C. will become the owner of the company or the factory D. are one of the owners of the company or the factory [单项选择]
