24).On the Highway 在公路上
The interstate highway system makes long-distance travel by car fast
and convenient. Interstate highways are clearly marked with numbers:
odd1 numbers mark north and south routes and even numbers mark east
and west routes. Such toll2 roads as turnpikes, thruways and parkways
are part of the interstate system. The speed limit on all highways
is 55 miles per hour unless otherwise posted. Remember that 1
mile=1.6 kilometers.
