Every country had its heroes. The heroes are the people that nation and especially the young people 1 . If you get a list of the 2of a nation, it will tell you the potential (潜力)of the nation.
If today in America ’ you ask the high school students to list their heroes their 3 would probably divide into three groups. rHie first group of heroes would be the rock stars—the people 4with rock music. There is no doubt that such people do have talent (天才)but one 5 if one should hold up rock stars as model. The rock stars too often are mixed with drugs and their personal life isnot all that — 6 . The rock stars are rich and wear the latest fashion styles (时装).However oneshould 7more in a hero than such things as 8 and fine clothes.
A second type of heroes for the American youth are sports stars. Again you have a person who has a great talent in one area9. However, too often the personal life of the sports star is a bit 10. Too frequently drugs and drinking are a part of 11 of the sports stars.
A third group of heroes are TV or movie stars. These people may have lots of 12 ,talent and are quite handsome. However ’ the personal life of too many actors is quite sad and should not be held up as a 13 for young people.
Today,the rock stars,the sportsmen and the actors 14 have become the models of the youth in America. Really,do you hear a young person say that his 15 is a doctor, a teacher or a scientist? These people are not 16 and do not wear fashionable clothes. However, they are 17 people who work hard to make the world a better place for everyone.
What is really sad is that the young try to 18 their heroes. They like to wear the same clothes as theirs, if the heroes of today for the American youth are 19only to rock stars, sportsmen and actors, the future does not look too 20 .

Americans think that travel is good for you. Some even think it can help to solve one of the country ’ s worst problems ~: crime (犯罪).
Crime worries a lot of people. Every year, the number of crimes is up and up. And many criminals (罪犯)are young. They often come from sad homes, with only one parent or no parents at all.
There are many young criminals in prison,but prison doesn ’ t change them. Six or seven in ten will go back to crime when they come out of prison.
One man ,Bob Burton, thought of a new idea. 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 to be strong and brave, and to help their friends in time of danger. This helped them grow into men. So Bob Burton started “Vision Quest. “ He takes young criminals on a long ,long journey with horses and wagons (马车), 3,000 miles through seven states. They are on the road for more than a year.
The young people in Vision Quest all have bad problems. Most of them have already spent time in prison. This is their last chance.
It's hard work on the road. The day starts before the sun comes up. The boys and girls have to feed the horses. Some of them have never loved anyone before but they love their horses. That love can help them to live a new life.
Not all the young people on Vision Quest will leave crime behind them. Three or four in ten will one day be in prison again. Bob Burton is right. Travel can be good for you. Even today, Americans still say, “ Go west, young men. ”
