仔细阅读下列短文, 根据题目, 选出最佳选项. What do you think Americans in the early twentieth century(1900－1925)did on weekends What do they do on weekends now　　　　　　 THEN Once upon a time, people spent lots of time at home on weekends. Then, new inventions changed the weekend.　　People used electric(电动的) streetcars to travel in cities. On weekends, they rode the streetcars to parks. Young people liked roller coasters(过山车).　　The first films lasted only one minute. Soon, however, films got longer. In the 1920s, movie theatres(影剧院) sold millions of tickets each week! In 1927, films finally had sound. Sometimes, people stayed home instead, and listened to another new invention－the radio.　　People in cities worked indoors during the week, so they wanted to be outdoors on weekends. Bicycling became a popular activity.　　　　　　 NOW With more time, money, and inventions people have many more choices(选择).　　They can visit huge parks like Disney World and ride modern roller coasters that go higher and faster that ever before.　　They can choose from lots of different films at a multiplex(a building with many movie theaters)or watch a video at home.　　Many people jog(慢跑), bicycle, work out at the gym(体育馆), or play sports. Others turn on their TV and watch sports.
