Now I understand highways are expensive to build and the investment has to be recouped(收回)via toll collection.OK,you pay for what you get.But how much of the collected toll income goes toward paying back highway construction loans is very much in doubt.Has the whole thing become a scheme for meaningless job creation?
In China,collecting toll fees is a very wellpaid job,and in some cases pays better than a full professorship.I assume receiving cash and handing out a ticket doesn’t need much education,right?It certainly can’t be more stressful.
And then there are those obvious wastes at the toll booths(收费亭).China now has the world’s most beautiful and most expensive toll booths.Every time I drive by a toll booth and see a nice office building nearby for the socalled management staff,I can’t help thinking of the AC/DC song“Highway to Hell!”
According to traffic law,when the line of waiting traffic is over 200 meters long and when all lanes at the toll booth are not fully open,drivers have the right to pass free.However,I have certainly run into traffic jams caused by toll booth delays many times,and I have never enjoyed such a free ride.
5.What does the underlined word “inevitable”in the 5th paragraph most probably mean?
A.Unavoidable.
B.Acceptable.
C.Unreasonable.
