As Gas Prices Increase, So Do Hardships
By Julie Livingston
Staff Reporter
With gas prices at more than $4 per gallon, many Upton citizens are being forced to break their regular routine and change their way of living.
In the past, high gas prices meant Uptonites would postpone their weekend trip or even summer vacation, but today, Uptonites are changing more than travel plans.
"I started riding my bike to run errands in town," said resident Dale Brown. "But I still have to commute into the city for work, and I’m paying nearly double in gas. I may have to look for a new job."
Not only are people riding bicycles more, buses have been fuller than usual, and the gas prices are forcing the city council to discuss increasing ticket prices by 20 cents.
Still many people are driving as usual, but filling their tanks only half way. "I get calls a few times per week that they’ve run out of gas, so I drive out to where they are and bring them gas," said Marty Watson, owner of Marty’s Gas Station. "It’s a shame that [the gas] is not as affordable, so people fill up less and get stuck." [br] Who is Marty Watson?
选项
A、A reporter
B、A former bus driver
C、A gas station owner
D、An unemployed resident
答案
C
解析
最后一段的…said Marty Watson,owner of Marty’s Gas Station中提到Marty Watson是加油站的老板。因此(C)项是正确答案。
