B
Even though the majority of Americans would find it hard to imagine what life could be like without a car, some have begun to realize that the automobile is a mixed blessing. Traffic accidents are increasing steadily , and large cities are crowded by too many automobiles. Worst of all, perhaps, is the air pollution caused by the internal-combustion engine. Every car engine burns hundreds of gallons of fuel each year and pumps gases into the air. These gases are one source of the smog that hangs over large cities. Some of these gases are poisonous and dangerous to health, especially for someone with a weak heart or a respiratory disease.

尽管大部分美国人仍无法想象没有车的生活会是怎样，但已经有人开始意识到汽车是个好坏参半的东西。交通事故持续增加，大城市因车辆过多而拥堵。而其中最坏的，可能是内燃机引起的大气污染。每辆车的引擎每年会燃烧几百加仑的汽油，并把废气排到大气中。这些废气就是大城市雾霾的的成因之一。其中一些废气有毒且危害健康，尤其是对那些心脏脆弱或者有呼吸道疾病的人。
