In the United States, crime worries a lot of people. Every year, the number of crimes goes up. And many criminals are young. Most of them --- 85 percent are boys. They often come from sad homes, with only one parent or no parents at all. There are problems with alcohol(烈酒) and drugs(毒品). There are many young criminals in prison. But prison doesn’t change them --- 60 to 70 percent will go back to crime when they come out of prison.

One man, Bob Burton, thought of a new idea that travel could help to solve one of the country’s worst problems--- crime. In the old days, young men had to live a difficult life on the road. They learned to be strong and brave, and to help their friends in time of danger. This helped them to grow into men. So Bob Burton started “Vision Quest”(寻梦).

The young people on “Vision Quest” all have bad problems. Most of them have already spent time in prison. This is their last chance. Mr Burton takes young criminals on a long journey with horses and wagons(马车) 3,000 miles through seven states. They are on the road for more than a year. It’s hard work on the road. The day starts before the sun comes up. The boys and girls learn to care for themselves. They also have to feed their horses. Some of them have never loved anyone before. But they can love their horses. That love can help them to a new life.

Not all young people on “Vision Quest” will leave crime behind them. 30 or 40 percent will one day be in prison again. But that’s a lot better than 60 or 70 percent. Bob Burton is right. Travel can be good for one. Even today, Americans still say, “Go west, young men.”

74. In the United State, ________ of the young criminals are boys.

A) 60-70 percent B) 85 percent

C) 30 percent D) 40 percent

75. According to the passage, travel is good for one because it can ________.

A) reduce the number of criminals B) help to meet others

C) help one know nature better D) solve the problem of crime completely

76. Which of the following is probably NOT the cause of the crimes?

A) Most of them are young.

B) They often don’t have a good family.

C) They like travelling far away from their homes.

D) They may often drink too much alcohol and take drugs.

77. Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A) Young criminals are changed better by Bob’s new ideas.

B) All criminals do better after they come out of prison.

C) The young criminals on Vision Quest all live a happy life.

78. The young people on Vision Quest mainly learn how to ________.

A) love their horses B) work all day and all night

C) live a happy life on a journey D) look after themselves and help others

A) Travel can help people to grow into men.

B) People can visit many beautiful places on the way.

C) People can learn to help others in time of danger during the trip.
