    The sports utility vehicle (SUV 多用途車(chē)輛) was invented in the early 1990s. It quickly became very popular in the United States. There are several r 1 for this. It is larger than most cars. It can carry lots of people,bicycles,toys,dogs and other things. This makes it popular with families. It also has four doors and a big back door,so getting in or out is e 2   . Since an SUV is taller than most cars,the driver can see above other cars and have a better sight of the road. With a lot more p 3 ,an SUV can go faster than most cars.It can also go on very rough roads where other cars cannot go.

    The SUV is popular with many people,but other people do not like these cars. First,they are larger than most other cars. This means that drivers of other cars may not be able to see the road w 4 . Also,SUVs are very heavy. If an SUV gets into an accident with a small car,the small car may be in s 5 trouble. Another problem with SUVs is that they are very expensive. They are expensive to buy—about 50 percent more expensive than an average small car. They are also expensive to use,since they use a lot more gasoline (汽油) than s 6 cars.

    There are two ways to solve these problems. One way is to change the way we think about them. Now they are sold as large cars. In the future,maybe they should be sold as trucks. Then people with just a car license could not d 7 them. They would have to get a truck license. These licenses are more expensive and difficult to get,so p 8 fewer people would buy SUVs. The other way to solve SUV problems is to make them d 9  . Some people think that car companies should make big SUVs smaller and less dangerous. They should also make SUVs with 1 10 powerful engines. Then they would not use so much gasoline.
