[00:00.87]易考范文六
[00:04.59]In the above picture, a man drives his car to buy some soy sauce,
[00:11.14]but evidently the errand takes him too long a time.
[00:15.08]Amusing as the picture seems,
[00:17.60]it compels us to consider this question: is private car a plus or a minus?
[00:24.49]It has been a controversial issue whether or not we should possess a car.
[00:29.30]Advocates say we derive 1 numerous benefits from private cars,
[00:34.00]which enable us to go anywhere at any time without relying on public transport.
[00:39.91]But others hold views to the contrary.
[00:42.54]They argue that traffic jams caused by the booming number of private cars
[00:47.68]are driving people mad. In addition, the exhaust fumes 2 emitted by motor vehicles,
[00:54.67]most of which are private cars,
[00:56.86]remains one of the primary sources of pollution in cities.
[01:01.13]It seems unwise to abandon private vehicles in light of its convenience.
[01:07.03]However, at least we can take actions to reduce its disadvantages.
[01:12.83]Above all, we need to limit the use of private cars.
[01:17.32]Private car owners in Beijing, for example,
[01:20.60]are allowed to drive only on alternate days.
[01:23.77]In addition,
[01:24.75]it is essential to improve public transport and encourage the use of bicycles.
[01:30.00]As is clearly shown in the above picture,
[01:32.95]rather than drive a car, the man may just as well ride a bicycle,
[01:37.77]which will save him much valuable time in traffic congestion 3.
