Most Americans look forward to their vacations. Most American employees receive an annual vacation with pay. It is traditional to use this time off for travel.
Travelling within the United States is very popular because foreign travel generally takes more time and money. However, those who want to travel outside the USA are free to go almost everywhere. Obtaining a passport is not difficult. Every year about thirteen million people travel abroad. The most popular periods are during the Summer and the two-week retool break on Christmas and New Year holidays. These periods are so the most crowded and the most expensive time to travel, so people who can adjust their schedules sometimes choose to travel in the autumn.
American tourists often travel by car. Most families own a car, and those who do not have a car can rent one. Cars are usually the most economical way to travel, especially for families. It is also fairly fast and convenient. Excellent highways with motels and restaurants nearby connect the nation's major cities. They enable tourists to travel at a speed of 55 to 66 miles an hour. Tourists that want to travel faster often fly to their destination and then rent a car when they get there.

Key words: When, jazz, most popular.
Clue: “In the late 1800’s jazz was just beginning, but not long after the turn of the century, it would be the most popular American music”: Jazz mới chỉ ra đời cuối những năm 1800, nhưng không lâu sau thời điểm chuyển giao thế kỷ, nó đã trở thành thứ âm nhạc Mĩ phổ biến nhất. “The turn of the century” là cách nói để chỉ những năm cuối thế kỷ cũ hoặc đầu thế kỷ mới. Nhưng trong tình huống này ta hiểu thời điểm chuyển giao này là của thế kỷ 20 tức là đầu những năm 1900. Vậy đáp án đúng là A. sometime in the early 20th century.
