24、1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. 35 Cars are an important part of life in the United States. Without a car most people feel that they are poor. And even if a person is poor he doesnt feel really poor when he had a car. Henry Ford was the man who first started m
25、aking cars in large numbers. He probably didnt know how much the car was going to affect American culture. The car made the United States a nation on wheels. There are some reasons why the car became so popular in the United States. First of all, the country is a huge one and Americans like to move
