"Avoid the rush-hour" must be the slogan of large cities the world over. Whenever you look, it’s people, people, people. The streets are so crowded, there is hardly room to move; when a bus arrives, it’s so full, it can’t take any more passengers. The extraordinary thing is not that people put up with (忍受,容忍) these conditions, but that they actually choose them in preference to anything else.

It is possible to live such an air conditioned existence in a large city that you are barely conscious of the seasons. What is going on in nature seems totally irrelevant. Even the distinction between day and night is lost.
The funny thing about it all is that you pay dearly for the "privilege" of living in a city.

选项
A、city inhabitants can not take buses in rush hours
