Why did Carol invite the author to talk to her class about his trip? 8. What conclusion did the author make about his trip when he talked to the students
22、?,Exercise 2: Text A can be divided into three parts. Now write down the paragraph numbers of each part and then give the main idea of each in one or two sentences.,He talked to school children and concluded in a patriotic manner that in America people could still depend on the kindness of strangers

24、and willing to help although they might have fears.,There was a time in America when you would be considered selfish and looked down upon if you refused to help someone in need, but “I dont want to get involved” has now become a national motto. Are people still willing to treat others with the same
25、kindness their forefathers displayed? The author makes a cashless journey through the land of the almighty dollar to test his faith in America. And the answer he finds is: you can still depend on the kindness of strangers.,The Kindness of StrangersMike Mclntyre1 One summer I was driving from my home
26、town of Tahoe City, California, to New Orleans. In the middle of the desert, I came upon a young man standing by the roadside. He had his thumb out and held a gas can in his other hand. I drove right by him. Someone else will,stop for him, I reasoned. Besides, that gas can is just a ploy to flag dow
27、n a car and rob the driver. There was a time in this country when youd be considered a jerk if you passed by somebody in need. Now youre a fool for helping. With gangs, drug addicts, murderers, rapists, thieves and carjackers lurking everywhere, why risk it? “I dont want to get involved” has become
28、a national motto.,2 Several states later I was still thinking about the hitchhiker. Leaving him stranded in the desert didnt bother me as much. What bothered me was how easily I had reached the decision. I never even lifted my foot off the accelerator. Does anyone stop anymore? I wondered. 3 I thoug
29、ht of my destination New Orleans, the setting for Tennessee Williamss play A Streetcar Named Desire. I recalled Blanche DuBoiss famous line: “I have always depended on the kindness of strangers.”,4 The kindness of strangers. It sounds so quaint. Could anyone rely on the kindness of strangers these d
30、ays? 5 One way to test this would be for a person to journey from coast to coast without any money, relying solely on the good will of his fellow Americans. What kind of America would he find? Who would feed him, shelter him, carry him down the road?6 The idea intrigued me. But whod be crazy enough
31、to try such a trip? Well, I figured, why not me.,8 I rose early on September 6, 1994, hoisted a 50-pound pack onto my back and headed for the Golden Gate Bridge. Then I took a sign from my backpack, displaying my destination to passing vehicles: “America.”,7 The week I turned 37, I realized Id never
32、 taken a gamble in my life. So I decided to make a leap of faith a continent wide to go from the Pacific to the Atlantic without a penny. If I was offered money, Id refuse it. Id accept only rides, food and a place to rest my head. It would be a cashless journey through the land of the almighty doll
33、ar. My final destination would be Cape Fear in North Carolina, a symbol of all the fears Id have to conquer during the trip.,9 Drivers mouthed the word through windshields, then, smiled. Two women rode by on bicycles. “Its a bit vague,” said one. A young man with a German accent wandered up and aske
34、d, “Where is this America?”10 Indeed, for six weeks I tried to find out. I hitched 82 rides and covered 4,223 miles across 14 states. As I traveled, I discovered that others shared my fear. Folks were always warning me about someplace else. In Montana they told me to watch out for the cowboys in Wyo
35、ming. In Nebraska I was warned that people would not be as nice in Iowa.,run contrary to,capacity,11 Yet I was treated with kindness in every state I traveled. I was amazed by the stubborn of Americans to help a stranger, even when it seemed to their own best interests. One day in Nebraska a four-do
36、or sedan pulled to the road shoulder. When I reached the window, I saw two little old ladies dressed in their Sunday finest. 12 “I know youre not supposed to pick up hitchhikers, but its so far between towns out here, you feel bad passing a person,” said the driver, who introduced herself as Vi. She
37、 and her sister Helen were going to see an eye doctor in Ainsworth, Nebraska.,13 I didnt know whether to kiss them or scold them for stopping. This woman was telling me shed rather than feel bad about passing a stranger on the side of the road. When they dropped me at a highway junction, I looked at
38、 Vi. We both spoke at the same time: “Be careful.”14 Once when I was hitchhiking unsuccessfully in the rain, a trucker pulled over, locking his brakes so hard that he skidded on the grass shoulder. The driver told me he was once robbed at knifepoint by a hitchhiker. “But I hate to see a man stand ou
39、t in the rain,” he added. “People dont have no heart anymore.”,risk her life,15 I found, however, that people were generally compassionate. A middle-aged Iowa couple shepherded me around for an hour, trying to help me find a campground. In South Dakota a woman whose family had given me a nights lodg
40、ing handed me two stamped post cards: one to let her know how my trip turned out; the other to send the next day, telling her where I was so she wouldnt worry about me.16 Hearing I had no money and would take none, people in every state bought me food or shared whatever they happened to have with th
41、em. A park ranger in Ukiah, Calif., gave me some carrots. A college student handed me sacks filled with organic tomatoes and melons. A woman in Iowa gave me two bundles of graham crackers, two cans of soda, two cans of tuna, two apples and two pieces of chicken.,18 Elsewhere in Oregon a lumber-mill
42、worker named Tim invited me to a simple dinner with his family in their dilapidated house. He gave me a Bible. Then he offered me his tent. I refused, knowing it was probably one of the familys most valuable possessions. But Tim was determined that I have it, and finally I agreed to take it.,17 The
43、people who had the least to give often gave the most. In Oregon a home painter named Mike noted the chilly weather and asked if I had a coat. When I replied, “a light one,” he drove me to his house, rummaged through his garage and handed me a bulky green Army-style jacket.,19 I was grateful to all t
44、he people I met for their rides, their food, their shelter, their gifts. But the kindest act of all was when they merely were themselves. 20 One day I walked into the local chamber of commerce in Jamestown, Tennessee. A man inside the old stone building jumped up from his cluttered desk. “Come on in
45、,” said Baxter Wilson, 59. He was the executive director.21 When I asked him about camping in the area, he handed me a brochure for a local campground. “Would you like me to call for you?” he asked.,22 Seeing that it cost $12, I replied, “No, thats all right. Im not sure what Im going to do.”23 Then
46、 he saw my backpack. “Almost anybody around here will let you pitch a tent on their land, if thats what you want,” he said. 24 Now youre talking, I thought. “Any particular direction?” I asked.25 “Tell you what. Ive got a big farm about ten miles south of here. If youre here at 5:30, you can ride wi
47、th me. “,26 I accepted, and we drove out to a magnificent country house. Suddenly I realized hed invited me to spend the night in his home.27 His wife, Carol, was cooking a pot roast when we walked into the kitchen. A seventh-grade science teacher, she was the picture of Southern charm. 28 Baxter ex
48、plained that local folks were “mountain stay-at-home people”, and he considered himself one of them. “We rarely entertain in our house,” he said. “When we do, its usually kin.” The revelation made my night there all the more special.,29 The next morning when I came downstairs, Carol asked if Id come
49、 to her school and talk to her class about my trip. I told her I didnt want to encourage a bunch of seventh-graders to hitchhike across the United States. But Carol said the kids should be exposed to what else is out there the good and the bad. “They need to know,” she said.30 I agreed, and before l
50、ong had been scheduled to talk to every class in the school. All the kids were well-mannered and attentive. Their questions kept coming: Where were people the kindest? How many pairs of shoes did I have? Had anybody tried to run me over? Were the pigs feet as good in other parts of the country? Had
