21、 in traffic but, like the weather, no one seems to do anything about it. In particular, traffic engineers, transportation planners, and public officials responsible for transpor- tation systems in large cities are frequently criticized for failing to solve traffic jam. But is traffic jam a sign of

22、failure? Long queues at restaurants or theater box offices are seen as signs of success. Should transportation systems be viewed any differently? I think we should recognize that traffic jam is an unpreventable by-product of successful cities, and view the “traffic problem” in a different light. Ci

23、ties exist because they promote social inter- actions and economic transactions. Traffic jam occurs where there are lots of people but limited space. Culturally and economically successful cities have the worst traffic problems, while decaying cities don’t have so many traffic problems. New York an

24、d Los Angeles are America’s most crowded cities. But if you want access to major brokerage houses(經(jīng)紀行), you will find them easier to reach in crowded New York than in any other large cities. And if your firm needs access to post-production film editors or satellite-guidance engineers, you will reach

25、 them more quickly through the crowded freeways of LA than through less crowded roads elsewhere. Despite traffic jam, a larger number and wider variety of social interactions and economic transactions can be made perfect in large, crowded cities than elsewhere. Seen in this light, traffic jam is an

26、 unfortunate consequence of prosperity, not a cause of economic decline and urban decay. So while we can consider traffic jam as increasing costs on the areas of big cities, the costs of inaccessibility in uncrowded places are almost certainly greater. There is no doubt that traffic jam brings the

27、 terrible economic and environmental damage in places like Bangkok, Jakarta, and Lagos. But mobility is far higher and traffic jam levels are far lower here in the US, even in our most crowded cities. That’s why, for now, we don’t see people and capital streaming out of San Francisco and Chicago, he

29、c jam can be solved D. public officials are always criticized for misusing their power 2. According to the passage, what’s the author’s opinion towards traffic jam? A. In cities, traffic jam is unavoidable. B. Traffic jam is both a sign of failure and a sign of success. C. Traffic jam is the

30、consequence of successful cities. D. For a successful city, traffic jam is not unpreventable. 3. By saying “decaying” (in Para. 4), the writer probably means _____. A. declining B. developing C. rich and successful D. strong and healthy 4. According to this article, which statement about“
