Beijing isn't the only city with traffic problems. You can get stuck in a traffic jam anywhere in the world. The worst problems occur in cities which are growing fast, such as Sao Paolo in Brazil and Lagos in Nigeria. But even cities in developed countries such as the US suffer. Los Angeles, which was built with the motor car in mind, and is famous for its six-lane highways, is now the USA's most congested city.
Para.1
The London Congestion Charge
problem:
congestion / traffic jams
① congestion: n. the state of being crowded and full of traffic
e.g.: —The problems of traffic congestion have
increased in recent years.
— Indeed, many roads in big cities are
heavily congested.
congested: crowded
② traffic jams: a long line of vehicles on a road
that cannot move or that can only move very
slowly.
③ get stuck in：被困在，卡在
e.g. I was stuck in the middle of the road.
我被卡在路中间。

Para. 2
traffic condition in central London
cause
so bad
the capital city was built before cars
solution
the mayor introduced a “congestion charge”
the problem, the cause & the solution
In Europe most capital cities were planned and built before cars, and city centre traffic jams have been part of daily life for a long time. The situation in central London, where drivers spent fifty percent of their time in queues, became so bad that the local government decided to do something about it. In February 2003 the Mayor of London, Ken Livingstone, introduced a "congestion charge"—a tax for cars entering the centre of the city.
Para. 3
the solution
How much
and when will
I pay?
How much When Pay Don't pay
___________ a day _________________
ok she will face a fine of __________
?5
before 10 p.m.
?80
The idea is simple: every car coming into the centre has to pay ?5 a day. Drivers can pay the charge at any of 10, 000 pay points in the capital before 10 p.m. As the cars come into the centre, video cameras record their registration numbers, and these are checked with a list of drivers who have paid the charge for that day. People who do not pay the charge will face a fine of ?80.

n.: the amount of money that sb. asks for goods and services
v.: demand (an amount) as a price from someone for a

e.g. Drivers can pay the charge at any of 10, 000 pay points
in the capital before 10 p.m.

But does the congestion charge work? A survey carried out at the end of 2003 suggests it does. After only six months, traffic coming into central London was reduced by about 30 percent, and journey times by 15 percent. More people used public transport to get to work, and bicycles were suddenly very popular. What's more, central London shops did not lose business even though there were fewer cars.
Para. 4 & 6

Most Londoners are not happy with the idea. They agree that London has a traffic problem, but the congestion charge is expensive, and limits their freedom ...
But there are a few people who think the charge should be much higher, for example rich businessmen who work in the city centre and can easily afford it. This would keep even more cars out of central London, and the roads would be nearly empty. However, there are no plans to increase the charge.

NEW YORK’S congestion is among the worst in the world, according to a report published in January last year. Crossing midtown by car is annoying. In 2016 the average speed was 4.7 miles per hour, not much quicker than a quick and energetic walk. But relief is in sight. On April 1st, state lawmakers agreed to implement① congestion-pricing, making New York the first big American city to do so. By 2021 vehicles will have to pay to enter Manhattan south of 60th street.
______________________________ adapted from The Economist
solution
Manhattan embraces road pricing
What’s the title of this article?
① implement: put sth. into effect
problem
Manhattan embraces road pricing
Similar suggestions go back 50 years but have always been end up with nothing. The Regional Plan Association put forward road-pricing in 1996. Michael Bloomberg’s 2007 plan was not even debated on the state legislature floor. This time, with Andrew Cuomo, the state governor, in power and Bill de Blasio, New York’s mayor, in support of it, it looks as if this time is different.
What’s the author’s attitude towards the suggestion?
Favorable
Negative
Doubtful
Indifferent
If done right, congestion-pricing could be expanded beyond Manhattan. New York can learn from other cities. Singapore, for instance, which has had pricing for decades, adjusts prices regularly. It can also learn from mistakes. London, which rolled out② its pricing in 2003, strangely is only starting to charge on-demand car hires like Uber. Stockholm exempted③ too many vehicles, which caused a drop in fee revenue④.
roll out: carry out
exempt: to give or get sb's official permission not to do sth or not to pay sth they would normally have to do or pay
revenue: the money that a government receives from taxes
the author’s suggestions
Other car-jammed cities considering tolls⑤, including Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Portland, San Francisco and Seattle, are watching New York. A mayor-appointed task force⑥ in Boston recommended a $5 fee, but so far Marty Walsh, the mayor, is pumping the brakes. Moody’s, a credit-rating agency (信用评价机构), said the plan is a “credit positive” for the city, the state and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. The only possible roadblock to the scheme is New Yorkers themselves—54% oppose fees.
