五、阅读下面短文，用英语回答短文后的问题。〔人与社会——交通方式〕
How do you travel in a city? Do you have a car in your family? People in FAW made a survey on types of transport and reasons for using the car in the city. Here are the results.
Chart 1 explains what types of transport people prefer to use most of the time. And Chart 2 shows why people in FAW use their cars in the city.
Look at Chart 1. First it is clear that the car is the most popular means of transportation in the city. 45% of the people say that they prefer to commute(通勤)by car. The second most popular form of transport is the subway, while buses and taxis are the main means of transport for the rest of the people.
Chart 2 gives more detailed information about why people use their cars. Surprisingly, 55% of the people need to commute to work by car. Cars are also used for taking children to school or business purposes. Only 5% of the drivers are doing shopping, and similarly, 5% need to travel by car for leisure activities(休闲活动).
Overall, people in FAW make good use of different methods of transport but there is heavy dependence on cars for work. What's the situation in your city? No matter how people travel in the city，do remember the more people choose public transport，the better the environment will be.
