Last week Lu visited England. He stayed with my grandmother. He said it was a strange visit. “I don’t understand, but I  16 your grandmother a lot. When I arrived, I gave her a   17  from Suzhou. She looked in it and asked me to take it back. Then I saw a red spider(蜘蛛) on the table so I killed it for her and she seemed very   18  . Do English people like spiders?”
“Later we went shopping. Someone was painting a shop   19 , so there was a ladder. Grandmother  20 me walking under it and said I must walk around it. I liked the shops and bought a smart   21 for my father and some new shoes for myself. When we got back, I put the shoes on the table and opened the umbrella to wonder   22 it was all right. Your grandmother came in and   23  !
“Then I broke a small   24 in the bathroom. Your grandmother’s face went white. I felt very sorry. When I left I gave   25 grandmother some flowers. She counted and there were 13. She   26 it. I think she was happy I was going.”
I   27 to Lu, “My grandmother follows the old customs(习俗). You must not give someone an empty purse   28 they will have no money. You must not kill a “money spider”  or the same will happen. It is very unlucky to walk under a ladder and to put new shoes on the table. A(n)  29 umbrella in a house means someone will die. Breaking a mirror brings seven years’ bad luck, and 13 is   30 a very unlucky number. You were really making my grandmother very afraid. ”

There are many young criminals in prison. But prison doesn’t change them---60 to 70 percent will go b  4.   to crime when they come out of prison.

One man, Bob Burton, t  5.   of a new idea. In the old days, young men had to live a hard life on the road. They learned to be strong and b  6.  , and to help their friends in time of danger. This helped them grow into men. So Bob started “Vision Quest(幻想探究)”.

He takes young criminals on a long, long j  7.   with horses and wagons(马车) 3,000 miles through 7 states. They are on the road for more than one year. The young people on Vision Quest all have bad problems.  Most of them have already spent time in prison.  This is their last c     8.  .

It’s hard work on the work. 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, b  9.   they can love their horses. That love can help them to start a new life.
