Now you’re a fool for helping. “I don’t want to get involved”seems to have become a national motto. One summer I was driving from my hometown of Tahoe City, California to New Orleans, Louisiana. In the middle of the desert, I passed a young man standing by the roadside. He had his  41  out and held a gas can in his other hand. I drove right by him. There was a time  42  you’d be called a jerk (混蛋) for passing by somebody  43  . Several days later I was still  44  about the hitchhiker (搭便车的人), about how I didn’t even lift my foot  45  the accelerator (加速踏板) for him. “Does anyone stop any more?” I wondered. I recalled Blanche DuBois’s famous line—”I have always depended on the kindness of strangers.” Was that  46  these days? One way to test this would be for a person to journey  47  the US without any money, just  48  on the good will of others. What would happen? Would he find food, shelter and support? The idea intrigued (激起兴趣) me. The week I  49  thirty-seven, I realized that I had never done something truly crazy.  50 I decided to really do it: travel from the Pacific to the Atlantic without a penny. I would only accept 51  of rides, food and places to sleep. For six weeks I hitched 82 rides and covered 4,223 miles across 14 states. I was treated kindly  52  I went. I was  53  by people’s readiness to help a stranger. In Oregon, a house painter named Mike  54  the cold weather and asked if I had a coat. I didn’t, so he gave me a big green army-style jacket. A lumber-mill worker in Michigan named Tim invited me to a  55  dinner with his family in their shabby house. Then he offered me a tent. I refused, but Tim insisted, packing it into my bag himself. I found people were generally compassionate. Hearing I had no money and would take none, people bought me food or  56  with them whatever they happened to have. Those who had the  57  to give often gave the most. I’m  58  to all the people I met for their rides, their food, their shelter and their gifts. My faith in ordinary folks was  59  . I was proud to live in a country where people are still willing to help. In spite of everything,you can still depend on the   60  of strangers. 41.A.finger         B.thumb             C.foot          D.hand 42.A.that       B.where             C.when          D.which 43.A.in need        B.in danger         C.in trouble        D.in favor 44.A.worrying   B.considering   C.thinking      D.bringing 45.A.on             B.off           C.away          D.from 46.A.possible   B.interesting       C.necessary         D.important 47.A.through       B.across            C.in            D.over 48.A.relying        B.basing        C.relating      D.insisting 49.A.seemed         B.got           C.turned            D.became 50.A.So             B.But           C.And           D.However 51.A.jobs       B.supplies      C.offers            D.helps 52.A.everywhere     B.nowhere       C.anywhere      D.somewhere 53.A.frightened     B.annoyed       C.amazed        D.disappointed 54.A.saw        B.noted             C.felt          D.sensed 55.A.rich       B.simple        C.delicious         D.interesting 56.A.supplied   B.offered       C.provided      D.shared 57.A.fewest         B.most          C.best          D.least 58.A.grateful      B.careful       C.hopeful       D.helpful 59.A.created        B.reminded      C.returned      D.renewed 60.A.happiness B.kindness      C.fairness      D.brightness 答案：BCACB   ABACA   CACBB    DDADB
