Read the following passage and mark the letterA, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
TRAFFIC IN OUR CITY
 The volume of traffic in many cities in the world today continues to expand. This causes many problems, including serious air pollution, lengthy delays, and the greater risk of accidents. Clearly, something must be done, but it is often difficult to persuade people to change their habits and leave their cars at home.
 One possible approach is to make it more expensive for people to use their cars by increasing charges for parking and bringing in tougher fines for anyone who breaks the law. In addition, drivers could be required to pay for using particular routes at different times of the day.
 This system, known as "road pricing", is already being introduced in a number of cities, using a special electronic card fixed to the windscreen of the car. Another way of dealing with the problem is to provide cheap parking on the outskirts of the city, and strictly control the number of vehicles allowed into the centre. Drivers and their passengers then use a special bus service for the final stage of their journey. Of course, the most important thing is to provide good public transport. However, to get people to give up the comfort of their cars, public transport must be felt to be reliable, convenient and comfortable, with fares kept at an acceptable level.
41. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a,problem of the increasing traffic in cities?
A. Serious air pollution. 	B. Traffic jams.
C. Difficulty changing people's habits. 	D. Greater risk of aciidents.
42. According to the passage, the problem can be solved by.........
A. making it more expensive to use cars.

43. According to the passage, driving can be made more expensive by.........
A. increasing parking fees.
B. applying fines for any car users.
C. requiring pay for using roads in the city.
D. using a special electronic card.
44. According to the passage, "road pricing”.........
A. is already applied in some cities.
B. is a system aiming at making driving more expensive.
C. means drivers have to pay to use roads in cities.
D. both A and B are correct.
