Dear Editor ,

   I’m a senior high student .____________________________________________

____________________________________________________________________

Dear Sally,

Now I’d like to tell you something about my part-time job this

summer vacation, of which I worked like a guide in a travel agency.

The work was interesting but tired. I think it was helpful to work this

holiday. It was the first time that I have earned money on my own.

I’ve come to understand how hard my parents work to support

for the family. I used to keep on ask them for money, but now I’ll never

waste money and learn to share worry with my parent. I've learnt how

to get along well with others. What's worse, I've gained some working

and social experience and I have learnt something can' t be learnt from

textbooks. All these will be good for my future. In the word, I had the

wonderful and valuable summer vacation.

                                                                                                        Yours,  

                                                                                                           Li Bing

Beijing plans to build huge free or low-cost parking lots beyond the Fourth and Fifth Ring Roads to encourage more car owners to take buses or subways to the downtown area.

The plan is just one of the many measures the city plans to take to reduce its traffic congestion. Low or no parking fees would be used as economic leverage to reduce growing parking demands from urban areas.

Car owners living in the suburbs will be encouraged to park their cars beyond the Fourth and Fifth Ring Roads and take buses or subways to the downtown area. Statistics show that nearly one quarter of the city’s traffic flow is concentrated in the 62-square-kilometre downtown area within the Second Ring Road, which makes up only 12 percent of the city’s total area.

The Beijing Traffic Management Bureau receives between 400 and 500 calls reporting traffic jams every day and more than 90 percent of the roads are filled to capacity during rush hour every morning and evening. Part of the problem is the lack of easy links between bus routes, subways and cars.

According to the communication commission, half of the city’s investment in transportation will go towards public transit construction in the next few years, making a jump from the current only 20 percent. Moreover, Beijing plans to change its layout by building new city centers, such as at Yizhuang, Tongzhou, Shunyi and Changping, in a bid to reduce the traffic flow to the downtown.

The current layout of Beijing-expanded ring roads around the same center of the Forbidden City, is seen as the root cause of the endless traffic jams. The downtown area is crowded with three business centers and one financial centre, as well as nearly 400 government organs and institutions.

Traffic experts say building more urban centers around Beijing may reduce the number of residents living in the suburbs and traveling long distances to work downtown every day, thus reducing traffic flow.

64. In the coming years, if a man beyond the Fourth Ring Road goes to work in the downtown of Beijing, he is encouraged to         .

   A. take buses or subways                    B. take a taxi

   C. drive the car quickly                       D. park his car in a place which asks for no fees

65. According to this passage, while more and more people drive to work in rush hour in Beijing, it is likely to         .

A. save time                                   B. cause traffic jams

C. cause traffic accidents                D. reduce air pollution

66. The aim in building new city centers is to         .

A. make it convenient for people to go shopping

B. develop its local resources

C. reduce the traffic flow to the downtown

D. solve the problem of more laid-off workers

67. The passage suggests the author        .

A. is tired of driving to work

B. finds it costs less to take subways than to drive

C. is for the plan to reduce Beijing’s traffic congestion

D. has benefited a lot by driving to the downtown every day
