汽車旅行
過去，假如你想要旅行，你必須乘坐長途驛馬車或火車；但是汽車改變了所有的一切；雖然一開始，汽車被視為一項奢侈品，但很快的，它就變成一個美國必需品了；在1908年和1926年之間，福特汽車公司 (Ford
Motor Company) 賣出了超過一千五百萬輛的T型汽車 (Model
T) 。
既然越來越多的美國人擁有自己的汽車，也越來越人能夠「邊上路」邊探索國家；這一種更輕鬆、容易的旅行能力改變了美國家庭進行假期的方式；你認為這些車子需要搭配什麼東西？
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?
