    Sales of new vehicles jumped markedly in the U.S. in February, with sales by the world's two biggest automakers(汽车制造商) up the most.

    Japan's Toyota, the global leader, said it sold nearly 142,000 vehicles last month, a 42 percent increase over the same month a year ago. Meanwhile, U.S.-based General Motors, second in the world, said it sold more than 207,000 vehicles in the U.S. in February. That's a 46 percent jump.

    With signs the U.S. economy is slowly improving, other automakers also reported robust(强健的,粗野的) sales. Ford 2 said its sales were up 14 percent, with Chrysler reporting a 13 percent gain and Nissan a 32 percent increase.

    GM emerged from bankruptcy 3 last year and has nearly overtaken Toyota as the world's biggest auto 1 manufacturer. It has trimmed the line of models it offers customers in an effort to streamline 4 its operations. Its February sales total was partly boosted by the company's use of various sales incentives 5.

    Analysts 6 say the improving U.S. economy has given some buyers a better sense of security that they will not lose their jobs and can afford to make a big-ticket purchase like a car.

    One GM official, Don Johnson, said the sharp rise in the price of oil caused by the political turmoil 7 in the Mideast has not had an impact on car sales so far. He said rising gas prices facing American motorists, however, could eventually affect sales and shift demand toward more fuel-efficient models.(本文由在线英语听力室整理编辑)
