句子填空哦~~不用写序号
Tina:
So Craig, the best way to get to work is probably on the subway. __1__.
Craig: Really? Why?
Tina: Traffic inNew Yorkcan be __2__ during rush hour. It's bumper-to-bumper everywhere in the city.
Craig: Doesn't the subway service get really backed up too? I've heard there
are lots of delays.
Tina: Yeah, the subway can run late sometimes too, __3__.
Tina建议Craig坐地铁，地铁虽然比公车贵，但时间上更有保障，因为上下班高峰期，纽约的路况特别糟糕。哎，什么叫 traffic is bumper-to-bumper?
Professor: That means that the traffic is so bad and moving so slowly that it's
almost as __4__.
哦，bumper是汽车的保险杠，所以，如果路上车特别多，就可以说bumper to bumper，也就是说，车子的车头接着车尾，一辆紧接着一辆。
Craig: Yeah, the subway is probably a good idea, but I hate __5__.
Tina: Well as long as you're on the mass transit system, you have to get used
to it. The bus is crowded too.
Craig: (Sigh).... I just wish there were some way for me to get to work without
leaving my house. __6__.
Tina: Actually, we already have one: it's called a computer. Maybe you should
try telecommuting!
Craig说，他不愿意挤在脏兮兮的地铁里，我深有同感！Tina说的telecommuting太棒了，只要通过电脑和网络，在家里就能远距离工作 ！
Professor: Exactly. Today some people prefer to telecommute to work to save
time and gas. Employers like it too, __7__.
是啊，telecommute又省钱又省时。Professor Bowman, 不如我们也紧跟潮流，让我在家里通过telecommute上课吧!
Professor: Sure! I'll just give extra homework to make up for the time you'll
save.
啊？就当我什么都没说吧!
It's a bit more expensive than the bus, but it's totally worth it
a nightmare
but it's still more dependable than the bus
if the bumpers of the cars are touching
being squeezed into those smelly cars with all those other people
I wonder if in the future there will be a magical machine that can do that
because they don't have to pay for an office |
