Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct option that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 24 to 30.
The concept of traffic-free shopping areas goes back a long time. During the Middle Ages,
traffic-free shopping areas were built in Middle Eastern countries to allow people to shop in comfort
and, more importantly, safety. As far back as 2000 years ago, road traffic was banned from Central
Rome during the day to allow for the free movement of pedestrians.
The modem, traffic-free shopping street was born in Europe in the 1960s, when both city
populations and car ownership increased rapidly. Dirty exhaust from cars and the risks involved in
crossing the road were beginning to make shopping an unpleasant and dangerous experience. Many
believed the time was right for experimenting with car-free streets, and shopping areas seemed the
best place to start.
By Đỗ Bình – THPT Liễn Sơn, Lập Thạch, Vĩnh Phúc – https://violet.vn/quocbinh72 Trang 2/4

At first, there was resistance from shopkeepers. They argued that people would avoid streets if
they were unable to get to them in their cars. When the first streets in Europe were closed to traffic,
there were even noisy demonstrations, as many shopkeepers predicted they would lose customers.
With the arrival of the traffic-free shopping street, many shops, especially those selling things
like clothes, food and smaller luxury items, prospered. Unfortunately, shops selling furniture and
larger electrical appliances actually saw their sales drop, many of these were forced to move
elsewhere, away from the city centre.
