There was an accident on the M11.”“Youre both lucky. It took me two hours! You dont have to use the M25.”How often have you
2、heard these conversations? How often do we get stuck in traffic jams? How often do we arrive at work or school stressed out, tired and angry? For many people in Britain, the answer is every day. But anger and stress are nothing compared to the real costs of the motor car. Here are some figures:In th
3、e last ten years, the number of cars on the roads in Britain has gone up by 30%.There are now 25 million cars in this country.Over three thousand people die every year in road accidents in Britain.In London, car engines produce 99% of all carbon monoxide in the atmosphere.Twentyfive thousand deaths

8、对于许多英国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:在过去的10年里,英国路上行驶的汽车数量上升了30%。现在这个国家有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%的一氧化碳是由汽车的发动机产生的。每年25 000人死于空气污染。有些类型的癌症和交通污染有关系。交通是全球变暖、气候变化的主要原因之一。全球平均温度比100年前高大约0.5摄氏度。We know that cars are bad for us.
