77、 Mei第二节(满分25分)阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。Sometimes people complain that getting to work in a big city is no easy matter， just like the popular saying goes， “Taking a bus is too crowded， getting a taxi is too expensive， buying a car is not practical.” It seems that traffic jams and cities go hand in h
78、and. Everyone complains about being stuck in traffic； however， like the weather， no one seems to do anything about it. Needless to say， traffic jam occurs where there are lots of people but limited spaces. However， there are indeed some things you can do to reduce the time you spend in traffic jams.
79、For example， the highway is not always the fastest way to get from Point A to Point B. Research the area and check online maps to see if you can find a shorter route to work， which usually flows more smoothly during rush hour and can help reduce much of your driving time. From the above you may know
80、 that alternative route is of great importance. Lets take another example. Most of the population works from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.， which means that the majority of traffic jams happen around 7 a.m.， and 6 p.m. So if you want to avoid a traffic jam， talk to your manager about arriving at the office earli
81、er and leaving earlier. If some of us and companies can do like this， the conditions of heavy traffic can be changed in a way.Finally， you can take gymnastic， dance or yoga classes after work to avoid traffic jams. Actually， there are many reasons for us to take exercises classes and to the gym， ins
