W: I'm afraid it's too late. Right now, your tardiness is the least of my problems.
M: What do you mean?
W: You have gone against file regulations so often, and the board of directors has decided.

Regardless of its power source, the auto in the future will still be the main problem in urban traffic congestion (拥挤). One proposed solution to this problem is the automated highway system.
When the auto enters the highway system, a retractable (可伸缩的) arm will drop from the auto and make contact with a rail, which is similar to those powering subway trains electrically. Once attached to the rail,the car will become electrically powered from the system, and control of the vehicle will pass to a central computer. The computer will then monitor all of the car&39;s movements.
The driver will use a telephone to dial instructions about his destination into the system. The computer will calculate the best route, and reserve space for the car all the way to the correct exit from the highway. The driver will then be free to relax and wait for the buzzer (蜂鸣器) that will warn him of his coming exit. It is estimated that an automated highway will be able to handle 10,000 vehicles per hour, compared with the 1,500 to 2,000 vehicles that can be carried by a present-day highway.

听力原文:W: Hey Taxi!
M: Where to?
W: Well, I'm going to the National Museum of Art, and . . .
M: Sure. Hop in. No problem.
W: Uh. Excuse me. How long does it take to get there?
M: Well, that all depends on the traffic, but it shouldn't take more than twenty minutes for the average driver. And I'm not average. I have driving down to an art, so we should be able to get there in less than twelve minutes.
W: OK. Uh, sorry for asking, but do you have any idea how much the fare will be?
M: Oh, it shouldn't be more than 18 dollars . . . not including a . . . uh-hum . . . a tip of course.
W: Oh, and by the way, do you know what time the museum closes?
M: Well, I would guess around 6 o'clock.
W: Uh, do you have the time?
M: Yeah. It's half past four. Uh, this is your first time to the city, right?
W: Yeah. How did you know?
M: Well, you can tell tourists from a mile away in this city because they walk down the street looking straight up at the skyscrapers.
W: Was it that obvious?
M: Well . . .
W: Oh, before I forget, can you recommend any good restaurants downtown that offer meals at a reasonable price?
M: Umm . . . Well, the Mexican restaurant, La Fajita, is fantastic. It's not as inexpensive as other places I know, but the decor is very authentic, and the portions are larger than most places I've been to.
W: Sounds great! How do I get there from the museum?
M: Well, you can catch the subway right outside the museum. There are buses that run that way, but you would have to transfer a couple of times. And there are taxis too, but they don't run by the museum that often.
W: OK. Thanks.
