1、Unit 9WheelsYou may ride on your bicycle in a rush to get to school every morning. You may fight to get a bit of space on a bus or on the subway. You may also watch taxis crawl their way through traffic jams.No matter where you are, all big cities around the world have traffic jams these days. Altho
2、ugh they all have their problems, many cities also have a type of transport that has become a cultural icon(文化标识)In London, to avoid the traffic above ground, people use the “underground”，also called the “tube”. The city has the oldest and most complicated underground railway system in the world and
3、 is the pride of many Londoners. With 12 lines and 275 stations across the city, the tube is normally the quickest and easiest way of getting around London. In London, you are never far from a tube station.New York is famous for its yellow cabs. They serve as a quick and easy way of getting across M

But, with over 12,000 yellow cabs in the Big Apple, they also cause traffic jams.Since 1873 when the first cable car started public service, the slow and noisy vehicle has
5、been a symbol of San Francisco. Although once damaged by a serious earthquake and challenged by cars, it is never caught in traffic jams and provides better views than the subway.But there are no such symbols in Los Angeles. If you visit, youd better rent a car. The citys public transportation is te
6、rrible. It can take hours to get across town by bus. The subway covers just a small part of the city centre. The light rail line only runs between the Long Beach hotel area and the city centre. Thats why Angelenos love their private cars more than any other people in the world.开启快乐学习之旅交通阻塞已成全球各个国家面临

19、0多年后，“白自行车”又回到城里了这次车上装有电脑芯片记录它的每一次移动！要使用自行车，你必须先插入一张特别的卡。新的“白自行车”实际上并不是白色的，而是设计独特，颜色鲜亮。自行车被放在特定的停放处，想使用自行车的人必须把自行车停放在另一个有足够空间的特定停放处。阿姆斯特丹市中心的交通已经不怎么拥堵了，因为当地人和旅游者都使用白自行车。的确，多亏人们献计献策，就像20世纪60年代的自行车迷们那样，世界各地的许多人多年以来才能享受市中心没有汽车的街道环境。课文理解Task One：Fast reading.Read the following events and rearrange them
