听力原文: A good way to see the USA is by car. Americans love their automobiles and in the past fifty years they have developed a vast network of roads and freeways to help them reach their destinations. As few visitors have their own cars, renting one is the next best thing. You will need a valid driver's license and either international credit cards, or a deposit.
You should start out with a working knowledge of the road. Regulations vary from state to state and this can be very confusing to a newcomer. For example, in some states it is legal to turn right at a red light if there is no approaching traffic, while in other states you will be fined for this action. Throughout the country it is forbidden to pass a school bus when it has stopped to let off children.
The size of the country may startle you at first and you may be surprised at the spectacular physical beauty. When the first pioneers began to expand West into the wildness, the natural resources of the land seemed inexhaustible. Nearly 1,000 million acres of land was covered by virgin forests. Much of this was burnt off for farmland and it soon became apparent that the government would have to take action or the natural beauty of the land would be lost for ever.

tacks from other tribes or perhaps because of severe climatic changes that undermined agriculture.To the west another culture,based on intensive agriculture,was beginning to flourish.Its center was beneath
present-day St.Louis,and it radiated out to encompass most of the Mississippi watershed,from Wisconsin to Louisians and from Oklahoma to Tennessee.Thousands of villages were included in its orbit.By about AD.700 this Mississippian culture,as is known to archaeologists,began to send its influence eastward to transform. the life of most of the less technologically advanced woodland tribes.Like the Mound Builders of the
Ohio region,these tribes,probably influenced by Meso-American cultures through trade and warfare,built gigantic mounds as burial and ceremonial places.The largest of them,rising In four terraces to a height of one hundred feet,has a rectangular base of nearly fifteen acres,larger than that of the Great Pyramid of Egypt.Built between AD.900 and 1100 this huge earthwork faces the site of a palisaded (用栅围护) Indian city which contained more than one hundred small artificial mounds marking burial sites.Spread among them was a vast settlement containing some 30 000 people by current estimations.The finely crafted ornaments and tools recovered at Cahokia,as this center of Misissippi culture is called,
include elaborate ceramics (陶器) finely sculpted stonework,carefully embossed and engraved copper and mica (云母) sheets,and one funeral blanket fashioned from 12 000 shell beads.They indicate that Cahokia was a true urban center,with clustered housing,markets,and specialists in toolmaking,hide-dressing,potting,jewelry-making,weaving,and salt-making.
