7、今天早上,我花了40分钟才到上班的地方。A10公路上多处施工!”“噢,真的吗?我用了一个多小时。M11公路上发生了一起交通事故。”“你们俩真幸运,我用了两个小时!你们都不用走M25这条路。”你多久听到一次这些对话?我们有多少次遇到塞车?有多少次我们在极度焦虑、疲惫、恼怒的状态下到达办公室或学校?对很多在英国的人来说,答案是天天如此。但是比起汽车的实际代价,紧张和恼怒还是微不足道的。这里有一些数据:在过去10年中,英国路上行驶的汽车数量上升了30%。现在英国有2 500万辆汽车。英国每年有3 000多人死于车祸。伦敦大气中99%的一氧化碳是汽车发动机排放的。每年有25 000人死于空气污染。有些

17、共交通工具。平均而言,大约40人乘坐一辆公共汽车,而同样数量的人要占据33辆小轿车。有时乘公共交通工具可能会多花一点时间,但这又有什么关系呢?你可以在公共汽车或火车上休息、读书、和人聊天,遇到你生命中的挚爱谁知道会发生什么事呢?3出发前想一下。你真的需要到城镇另一边的购物中心去吗?到拐角处的那家商店购物如何?上车前,考虑一下你是否真的需要走那一趟。4共用汽车。如果你真的需要开车,和别人开一辆车去。这样更便宜,更有益于环境。5不要相信广告!几乎1/4的电视广告是有关汽车的。你看见一位俊男或靓女开车疾驰在风景秀丽的乡间,这并不真实!那辆新车不会使你更具吸引力。你也不会在空旷的乡间路上开车。你将被困
