阅读下面短文, 掌握其大意, 然后从1-20各题所给的四个选项中, 选出一　　 个最佳答案。　　

    Some people think they have an answer to the problems of　　 automobile (汽车) crowding and pollution in large cities. Their　　 answer is the bicycle, or "bike."

    In 1 cities, hundreds of people 2 bicycles to work every day. In　　 New York City, some bike riders have 3 formed a group called "Bike for　　 a Better City". They claim (声称) that if more people rode bicycles to　　 work there would be 4 automobiles in the downtown section (闹市区) of　　 the city and therefore 5 dirty air from car engines.

    For several years this 6 has been trying to get the city　　 government 7 bicycle riders. For example, they want the city to 8　　 special lanes (车道) — for bicycles only — on some of the main　　 streets, because 9 bicycle riders must use the same lanes 10 cars,　　 there may be accidents. "Bike for a Better City" feels that if there　　 were special lanes, more people would use bikes.

    But no bicycle lanes have been painted 11. Not everyone thinks　　 they are a good idea. Taxi drivers don't like the idea — they say 12　　 will slow traffic. Some store owners on the main streets don't like　　 the idea — they say that 13 there is less traffic, they will have　　 less business. And most people live too far from downtown to travel　　 by bike.

    The city government has not yet 14 what to do. It 15 to keep　　 everyone happy. 16 weekends, Central Park — the largest open 17 in　　 New York — is closed to cars, and the roads may be 18 by bicycles　　 only. But "Bike for a Better City" says that this is not 19 and keep　　 fighting to get bicycle lanes downtown. 20 that happens, the safest　　 place to bicycle may be in the park.
