Trang 4Commuting is the practice of travelling a long distance to a town or city to work each day,
and then travelling home again in the evening ‘The word commuting comes from commutation
ticket, a US rail ticket for repeated journeys, called a season ticket in Britain Regular travellers
are called commuters,
The US has many commuters A few, mostly on the East Coast, commute by train or
subway, but most depend on the car Some leave home very early to avoid the traffic jams, and
sleep in their cars until their office opens Many people accept a long trip to work so that they can
live in quiet bedroom communities away from the city, but another reason is ‘white flight’ (anh
sáng mặt trdi) In the 1960s most cities began to desegregate their schools, so that there were no
longer separate schools for white and black children Many white families did not want to send
their children to desegregated schools, so they moved to the suburbs, which have their own
schools, and where, for various reasons, few black people live
Millions of people in Britain commute by car or train Some spend two or three hours a
day travelling, so that they and their families can live in suburbia or in the countryside Cities are
surrounded by commuter belts Part of the commuter belt around London is called the
stockbroker belt because it contains houses where rich business people live Some places are
becoming dormitory towns, because people sleep there but take little part in local activities
Most commuters travel to and from work at the same time, causing the morning and
evening rush hours, when buses and trains are crowded and there are traffic jams on the roads
Commuters on trains rarely talk to each other and spend their journey reading, sleeping or using
their mobile phones, though this is not popular with other passengers Increasing numbers of
people now work at home some days of the week, linked to their offices by computer, a practice
called telecommuting
Cities in both Britain and the US are trying to reduce the number of cats coming into town
each day Some companies encourage car pooling (called car sharing in Britain), an arrangement
for people who live and work near each other to travel together Some US cities have a public
service that helps such people to contact each other, and traffic lanes are reserved for Car-pool
vehicles But cars and petrol/gas are cheap in the US, and many people prefer to drive alone
because it gives them more freedom In Britain many cities have park-and-ride schemes, car
parks on the edge of the city from which buses take drivers into the centre
(Extracted from Oxford Guide to British and American Culture, Oxford University Press, 2000)
Question 38: Which of the following definitions of commuting would the author of this passage

B Travelling to work and then home again in a day within a rural district,
C Travelling for hours from a town or city to work in the countryside every day
D Regularly travelling a long distance between one’s place of work and one’s home
