Each year there is an increasing number of cars on roads and streets as millions of new cars and trucks are produced. One out of every six Americans works at putting together the parts of cars, driving trucks, building roads of filling cars and trucks with gas. 36.
Most Americans would find it hard to imagine what life would look like without cars. 37..The polluted air becomes poisonous and dangerous to health.
38.. That’s what several of the large car factories have been trying to do. But to build a clean can is easier said than done. Progress in this field has been slow.
Another way is to take the place of the car engine by something else. 39..Many makers believe that it will take years to develop a practical model that pleases man.
To prevent the world from being polluted by cars, we’ll have to make some changes in the way many of us live. Americans, for example, have to cut down on the number of their total cars. They are encouraged to travel and go to work by bicycle. Bicycling is thought to help keep the air clean. But this change does not come easily. A large number of workers may find themselves without jobs if a car factory closes down. 40.。
