Unit 3 Road signs and commuting
Section Ⅳ(1):Passage 1
Funny Road Signs from Around the World!
1. Background information
Information Related to the Reading Passage
America is a nation on wheels. Americans use their cars even for very short distances such as going to the neighborhood store to buy some groceries. The average household owns two cars, trucks or sport vehicles and one in four owns three or more. Ninety percent of Americans drive to get where they need to go, reporting an average of 87 minutes a day behind the wheel. For car commuters, it's an average of 100 minutes. Cities like Atlanta, San Bernardino and Riverside, Calif., have difficult commutes as the result of city sprawl. In Atlanta, 12.7% of commuters spend more than an hour getting to work, and in the “Inland Empire”, which includes San Bernardino and Riverside, 15% of commuters take more than an hour to get to the office.
About a third can be classified as aggressive drivers. Six in ten concede they sometimes go well over the speed limit. Sixty-two percent occasionally get frustrated behind the wheel, more than four in ten get angry and two in ten sometimes boil into road rage. And nothing fuels driver anger like getting stuck in a traffic jam.
Anyway, the road still offers more freedom than frustration. Three quarters of Americans say driving often gives them a sense of independence, and nearly half say it's often relaxing. Four in ten love their cars — not just like them, but love them.
