A
【答案解析】[听力原文]
Although America is such a huge country, traveling is really very quick and easy. The visitor who wants to see as much of the country as possible should travel by bus—that is, if he hasn"t got a friend who owns a car. It"s fun. There are fast bus services between cities: for example, the Greyhound Bus Service, which has a picture of a greyhound on the side of the bus. Some buses have an upper and a lower level. The roof is often made of glass, and in the summer the heat of the sun through the glass may make you feel too hot. Although the buses are cooled by air-conditioning, it does not always seem to work with such good effect on the top level. The seats are soft with a reading lamp over each one and they lean back for sleeping at night. On these long-distance buses there"s a toilet and other comforts on board. Stops are made for meals at roadside restaurants and there"s time to stretch your legs. It takes about three and a half days to cross America by bus with short stops for meals.
What about long-distance trains? These cost more than buses, so tourists do not use them so much. On the trains there are dining cars and bars where meals are served quickly. If you are spending the night on the train, you can pay for a" roomette" which is a small room with a bed and a toilet.
Flying is as simple as going by bus. Most cities have an airport. You can often buy your ticket and arrange your aeroplane trip all within about twenty minutes. Businessmen who are in a hurry do all their traveling by plane.
You can hire a car by the hour, day or week in any of the larger cities, at airports, and in the National Parks. Many American families have two cars and probably spend as much time in them as they do in their houses. In this country a car is really necessary. Cars are brightly coloured, big and comfortable.
The roads, or "highways" as they are called, are splendid, running straight for hundreds of miles. Some are "freeways" which means that there is no charge for using them. On others, called" turnpikes" the driver has to pay. There are no crossroads or traffic lights; other roads run either above or underneath the highways, with roads leading up or down to them from either side.
A word about taxis. They are sometimes called "cabs". Most Americans urge you not to take a taxi unless you really have to get somewhere in a hurry, because they are expensive. The drivers are often unusual people. They are either very silent or talk all the time; they are often curious to know about foreigners.
