     The Golden Gate Bridge joins the beautiful city of San Francisco with suburbs(郊区) to the north. Each day,
about one hundred thousand cars cross the bridge, taking people to and from the city. More than half of them
cross the bridge during the morning and evening rush hours, as a result, the trip is not pleasant.
     Now, however, there is at least one group of happy commuters(经常往返者). These are the people who travel
under the bridge instead of on it. They go to work by boat and enjoy it so much that most of them say they will
never go by car again.
     The boat they take is the large, quiet, comfortable "Golden Gate". Commuters can enjoy the sun on the boat.
In the morning they can have breakfast in the coffee shop, and in the evening they can have a drink in the bar
while they are looking at San Francisco's famous scene and the nearby hills.
     The trip only takes thirty minutes and is not expensive. But best of all, being on a boat seems to make people
feel more friendly towards each other. Two commuters who met on the "Golden Gate" have already got married.
     Because the boat had been so successful, there are plans to use other, still larger boats. There is also a plan
for a high-speed boat that will make the trip in only fifteen minutes. Not everyone is happy about that. "A lot of
people don't want to get the trip faster," said one commuter, "They feel that an hour is just enough to rest."
1. Crossing the Golden Gate Bridge by car is not pleasant because ________.
A. it takes people 30 minutes
B. the Golden Gate Bridge is very long
C. the bridge is crowded with bikes, cars, buses and trucks all the time
D. most of the car owners can not enjoy the beauty of San Francisco
2. In the future, ________.
A. larger boats will be used to carry commutes
B. a big coffee shop will be built
C. more and more people will get married on the boat
D. people will all go to work by boat
3. Many people don't like the new idea for a high-speed boat because ________.
A. they don't want to go to work earlier
B. they like to stay on the boat
C. there will be more people on the boat
D. they won't have enough time to rest
