汽车旅行
过去，假如你想要旅行，你必须乘坐长途驿马车或火车；但是汽车改变了所有的一切；虽然一开始，汽车被视为一项奢侈品，但很快的，它就变成一个美国必需品了；在1908年和1926年之间，福特汽车公司 (Ford
Motor Company) 卖出了超过一千五百万辆的T型汽车 (Model
T) 。
既然越来越多的美国人拥有自己的汽车，也越来越人能够「边上路」边探索国家；这一种更轻松、容易的旅行能力改变了美国家庭进行假期的方式；你认为这些车子需要搭配什么东西？
It used to be that if you wanted to travel, you had to plan for a long stagecoach or train ride. But the automobile changed all that. Although at first considered a luxury, the car quickly became an American necessity. Between 1908 and 1926, Ford Motor Company sold more than 15 million Model T automobiles.
Since more Americans owned cars, more were able to spend time "on the road" exploring the country. This ability to travel with greater ease changed the way American families went on vacation. What do you think was needed to accommodate all those cars?
