City traffic(交通) is a great problem. More cars are produced every year and the streets are getting more and more crowded. So during rush hours, when people are going to or from their work, traffic is brought to a standstill. It has been suggested that people should share(共用) their cars and give each other lifts . So each car would carry four or five people instead of only one. It is a good idea, however, so far nobody has been able to think of a way to make people do so.

When you park at a meter, you must put a coin in the slot(缝). This pays for a certain amount of time. The meter records this and it shows the time that you have paid for is finished. If the car is still there then, you have to pay a fine (罚款).

Traffic wardens (监察员) look after the meters. They walk around the streets and check that every mater shows that money has been paid for the car parked there. If a meter shows 'TIME EXPIRED' (到时) , the motorist who has left his car there is fined. Of course, the traffic warden cannot wait for the owner of the car to return. He carries a pile of paper, and on one of these he writes down all the details(详细情况) , such as the number of the car, where it is parked, how much the driver must pay and where he must send the money. He leaves this form on the car where the driver will be able to see it easily. When the driver comes back , he gets an unpleasant surprise, but it is his own mistake to park his car too long at a parking meter.

66．The best title for this passage is ______.

A．The Crowded Street

B．The City Traffic and Wardens

C．The Traffic Warden

D．The Traffic Fine

67．Why has the suggestion that people should share their cars not been followed?

A．It's not a useful idea.

B．Drivers don't like the idea.

C．It's difficult to operate it.

D．It's impossible.

A．there is so much noise in the streets

B．there are many cars parking in the streets

C．there are many people going shopping

D．there are many people going to or from work

69．From the passage, we can know that _____ to solve the traffic problem.

A．more meters are needed

B．more cars with fewer people are needed

C．cars with more people are needed

D．more traffic wardens are needed

70．Traffic wardens ______.

A．always wait for the owners of the cars to fine them

B．leave the forms to the drivers where it is easy for them to find

C．usually get the fined money at once
