"Everything happens for the best." My mother said whenever I faced disappointment, "If you 36 one day something good will happen. And you'll realize that it wouldn't have happened if not for that previous 37 ."
Mother was right. After graduating from college I had decided to try for a job in 38 , then work my way up to 39 . I got 40 on the door of every station every time.
In one studio, a kind lady told me that big stations wouldn't 41 hiring an inexperienced person. "Go out in the sticks(边远地区) and find a 42 station that'll give you a chance." she said.
I thumbed(搭便车) home to Dixon, Illi. 43 there were no radio-announcing jobs in Dixon, my father said Montgomery Ward had opened a store and wanted a local 44 to manage 45 sports department. Since Dixon was where I had played high-school football, I 46 the post, but I wasn't hired.

Then he stood me before a microphone and asked me to broadcast a(an) 52 game.
I remembered a game we had won. I did a 15-minute buildup to that play, and Peter told me I would 53 Saturday's game!

We all remember seeing hitchhikers（搭便车的人）, standing by the side of the road, thumb sticking out, waiting for a lift. But it is getting rare nowadays. What killed hitchhiking? Safety is often mentioned as a reason. Movies about murderous hitchhikers and real-life crime have put many drivers off picking up hitchhikers. That no single women picked me up on my journey to Manchester no doubt reflects the safety fear: a large, strangely dressed man is seen as dangerous.
But the reason may be more complex: hitchhiking happens where people don’t have cars and transport services are poor. Plenty of people still hitchhike in Poland and Romania. Perhaps the rising level of car ownership in the UK means the few people lift hitchhiking are usually considered strange. Why can’t they afford cars? Why can’t they take the coach or the train?
Three-quarters of the UK population have access to a car; many of the remainder will be quite old. The potential hitchhiking population is therefore small. Yet my trip proves it’s still possible to hitchhike. The people who picked me up were very interesting-lawyer, retired surgeon, tank commander, carpenter, man who live in an isolated farmhouse and a couple living up in the mountains. My conclusion is that only really interesting people are mad enough to pick up fat blokes in red,
spotted scarves. Most just wanted to do someone a good turn; a few said they were so surprised to see a hitchhiker that they couldn’t help stopping.
The future of hitchhiking most likely lies with car-sharing organized over the Internet, via sites such as hitchhikers. org. But for now, you can still stick your thumb out(actually, I didn’t do much of that, preferring just to hold up my destination sign) and people-wonderful, caring, sharing, unafraid people-will stop.
In the UK, with its cheap coaches and reasonable rail service, I don’t think I’ll make a habit of it. But having enjoyed it so much, I’m ready now to do a big trip across Europe and beyond. In the 1970s a female friend of my wife’s hitchhiked to India. How wonderful it would be to have another go, though Afghanistan might be a challenge. I wish I’d got that tank commander’s mobile number.

B. Car ownership levels are lower in Romania than in the UK.
C. 40% of UK people don’t have access to cars.
