Reading 1 Decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F), based on the article. 1 Last year, the writer’s family conducted a 5-week experiment of living with only one car in the suburbs of Sydney. 2 After they sold the only car they owned, they felt uncertain how they might be able to maintain a relatively normal life without it. 3 As their suburban household was close to the train station, trains could almost replace the car they used to have. 4 For trips outside their local suburb, they had to use different transportation modes including bus, taxi, and sometimes a rental car. 5 Usually, the traffic was light and smooth on their way to preschool and work. Much of the way, there were bike lanes available. 6 They used a trail-a-bike for shopping trips. Pulling the trailer loaded with groceries was like a breeze (轻而易举的事) . 7 A most arduous part of their experiment came as they were leaving Australia. They had a lot of luggage to carry and, meanwhile, two children to take care of. 8 Living without a car, they achieved better physical fitness from extra walking and cycling and gained a new perspective of the place they lived. 9 There were risks involved in riding a bike in traffic, being in strange train stations, and waiting at bus stops. 10 Since their return to the USA, they have continued their practice of living car-free and living more sustainably.
