Americans use their cars even for very short distances such as going to the neighborhood store to buy some groceries. The average household owns two cars, trucks or sport vehicles and one in four owns three or more.Ninety percent of Americans drive to get where they need to go, reporting an average of 87 minutes a day behind the wheel. For car commuters, it's an average of 100 minutes. Cities like Atlanta, San Bernardino and Riverside, Calif., have difficult commutes as the result of city sprawl. In Atlanta, 12.7% of commuters spend more than an hour getting to work, and in the “Inland Empire”, which includes San Bernardino and Riverside, 15% of commuters take more than an hour to get to the office.About a third can be classified as aggressive drivers. Six in ten concede they sometimes go well over the speed limit. Sixty-two percent 20 minutes reviewing 10 minutes introducingoccasionally get frustrated behind the wheel, more than four in ten get angry and two in ten sometimes boil into road rage. And nothing fuels driver anger like getting stuck in a traffic jam.Anyway, the road still offers more freedom than frustration. Three quarters of Americans say driving often gives them a sense of independence, and nearly half say it's often relaxing. Four in ten love their cars — not just like them, but love them.Step 3 readingMost road signs you come across are straightforward. They tell you what to do, which direction to go in, where you are, etc., but occasionally (and usually unintentionally), road signs can be funny!Taking pictures of funny road signs while traveling is a favorite pastime for many travelers. We've all come across these gems: a miswritten translation; an unusual warning; or an illustration that just doesn't seem right. It might be an official highway sign or something written on a shop window. All are perfect for adding to your travel photo album and sharing with friends. And oftentimes, photographic evidence of such a sign not only makes a great souvenir, but also serves as proof for doubtful folks back home.Here're a few funny road signs found from various parts of the world — they're all real road signs. I hope you enjoy them and please feel free to add your own captions to the pictures.It seems that this is a real possibility around Ireland's Dingle Peninsula.After all, the authorities put up a warning sign, picturing a car flying headfirst into the sea.And that sign, pictured against an actual cliff in the background, makes a great travel photo.Language points: 50 minutes Reading and practicing1.(Para. 2) Taking pictures of funny road signs while traveling is a favorite pastime for many travelers.2.

The leopard cannot change his spots. 江山易改本性难移..Step 2 background knowledgeAs cities grow, more and more Americans are leaving for work between 5 a.m. and 6:30 a.m. and are commuting for longer periods of time. Here are what some of the worst cities for commuters are like.In Atlanta, the fastest-growing city in America, more people flood the roadways than the infrastructure can handle. Commuters spend 60 hours a year stuck in traffic, second only to those in Los Angeles. If that is not bad enough, Atlanta is so spread out that only 29% of drivers get to and from work in less than 20 minutes, and 13% spend more than an hour getting to work. The local train system doesn't cover the entire city, and thus fails to relieve the pressure.Because most of the workers in Washington D.C. are commuting from the Virginia or Maryland suburbs, it can take an exceedingly long time to make it downtown. Here, 15% of commuters take over an hour to get to work, the second highest rate in the country. Drivers spend 60 hours a year stuck in traffic, and only 26% of commuters get to work in 10 minutes Warming-up 10 minutes introducingunder 20 minutes.In Houston, Texas, 13% of people carpool, the highest such percentage in cities with over 2 million workers, and third among cities with more than 1 million workers. Still, unlike Dallas and Austin, Houston has largely resisted mass transit system development in favor of expanding roadways, highways and interstates to accommodate more cars.Step 3 readingHanna P., Marketing Expert at a famous software company, posted online his own commuting experience and asked the netizens to share their views:I went today:by bus No. 81,then trolley bus No. 3,then underground Line 1,then bus No.139 and finally bus No. 87(25 km all together). Who more?And actually the point of the question is: why do so many people spend lots of time and money getting to work instead of moving near to it? It would be so nerve- and traffic-saving if everyone lived near their work.Responses Posted Online by NetizensCristina F.:In Portugal, moving next to work will certainly mean buying a house that we often cannot afford. I work outside Lisbon and I travel on Monday to work, stay there and need only three steps to get to work. I travel back to Lisbon Friday afternoon.(posted 18 hours ago)50 minutes Reading and practicingChris B.:I travel by car as it is the most time-efficient way of getting there.(posted 15 hours ago )James B.:I've been working for small companies — companies move, change and go out of business. If I had lived next to where I worked, I would have had to move seven times in the last 30 years. That would have been difficult to my family. So I live where I want, and plan ondriving up to 40 miles, one-way, to get to work.(posted 14 hours ago)Nigel T.:I drive. I work on short-term contract assignments which can be anything from 3 to 12 months, so moving is just not a choice. In the UK it can take 3 to 6 months to buy and sell a house anyway. My current employer is about 40 miles away. Last year it was a daily round trip of 189 miles — way too much!(posted 13 hours ago)Lisa N.:When I was at my last job, I drove about 10 miles one way to get there, on city roads and the interstate. It was a fast commute usually. I don't have a job right now, but when I do, I might use a park and ride system as I may be commuting from the suburbs to the city. I might also use the light rail if it is available.(posted 13 hours ago)Natalie K.:I also have around 25 km to the office, and I go by car. I wouldn't like to move to the area close to the office, because I enjoy living in the center of the city (Copenhagen).(posted 11 hours ago)10 minutes summaryMichael R.:5 minutes' drive to the airport;5 minutes to preflight my plane;1 hour 10 minutes' flight ;10 minutes' drive to the client site.(posted 9 hours ago)Language points:1.

Write T / F accordingly.1) Hanna P. is interested in knowing why people choose not to live near their work place.2) Cristina F. travels to and from her work every day.3) James B.'s present job is his eighth job.4) Nigel T. has to commute a longer distance in his present job than in his last.5) In her next job, Lisa N. may have to drive to the city and then change to the light rail.6) Natalie K. has to drive about 25 km to work in the city center.7) Michael R. drives to the airport to meet his client.Step 4 summaryUseful expressions and words of the unit.
