题目内容
2.One summer on my way to New Orleans,I passed a young man standing by the roadside,with his thumb out for a lift.I drove right by him.Now you're a fool for helping."I don't want to get involved"seems to have become a national motto.Several days later I was thinking about the hitchhiker,about how I didn't even move my foot off the accelerator(加速踏板)for him.
"Does anyone stop any more?"I wondered.Blanche Dubois once said:"I have always depended on the kindness of strangers."Was that possible these days?One way to test this would be for a person to journey across the US without any money,just relying on the others'good will.What would happen?
The idea interested me.So I decided to really do it.Without a penny,for six weeks I hitched 82rides and covered 4,223miles across 14states.I would only accept offers of rides,food and places to sleep.
I found people were generally compassionate.Hearing I had no money and would accept none,people bought me food and gave me necessities.Those who had the least to give often gave the most.In Nebraska,a house painter named Mike noted the freezing weather and gave me a big army-style jacket.A lumber-mill worker in Michigan named Tim invited me to a simple dinner with his family in their shabby house.Then he offered me a tent.
I was treated kindly everywhere I went,amazed by people's readiness to help a stranger and feeling grateful to all the warm-hearted people.My faith in ordinary folks was renewed.It turns out you can still depend on the kindness of strangers.
