陌生人的善意迈克·麦金太尔一年夏天，我从家乡加利福尼亚州的塔霍城开车前往新奥尔良。

在沙漠深处，我碰到一个年轻人站在路旁。

他一只手打出拇指向外的手势，另一只手里拿着一个汽油罐。

我直接从他身边开过去了。

别人会停下来的，我想。

再说，那汽油罐只是个让车停下、好抢劫司机的幌子而已。

在这个国家，曾有那么一段时间，你要是对需要帮助的人置之不理，大家会认为你是混蛋，而如今你要是帮了你就是笨蛋。

到处潜伏着犯罪团伙、吸毒上瘾者、杀人犯、强奸犯、盗窃犯还有劫车犯，为什么要冒险呢“我不想卷进去”已经成为全国性的信条。

2 开过了几个州以后，我还在想着那个想搭便车的人。

把他一个人留在沙漠中倒并没有让我有多么不安。

让我不安的是，我多么轻易地就做出了这个决定。

我甚至根本没把脚从油门上抬起来。

我很想知道，现在还有人会停车吗3 我想到我此行的目的地——新奥尔良。

那里是田纳西·威廉姆斯的剧作《欲望号街车》的背景地。

我回想起布兰奇·杜波依斯的名句：“我总是依赖陌生人的善意。

”4 陌生人的善意。

听起来好怪。

如今这年头还有谁能指望陌生人的善意吗5 要验证这一点，一个办法是一个人从东海岸旅行到西海岸，不带一分钱，完全依靠美国同胞的善意。

他会发现一个什么样的美国谁会给他饭吃、让他歇脚、捎他一程呢6 这个念头激起了我的好奇心。

但谁会这么不切实际、愿意去尝试这样一次旅行呢好吧，我想，那不如我来试试7 满37岁那个星期，我意识到我这辈子还从没冒过什么险呢。

所以我决定来个观念的跨越，美洲大陆那么宽——从太平洋去大西洋，不带一分钱。

要是有人给我钱，我会拒绝。

我只接受搭顺风车、提供食物和让我歇脚的帮助。

这将是穿越这片金钱至上的土地上一次无钱的旅行。

我的最终目的地是北卡罗来纳州的“恐惧角”（即开普菲尔），它象征着我沿途必须克服的所有恐惧。

8 1994年9月6日，我早早起床，背起一个50磅重的包，朝金门桥走去。

我从背包里拿出一个牌子，向过路的车辆展示我的目的地：“美利坚”。

Unit 1 Living in Harmony[00:]Listen and Respond[00:]Smile[00:]I am a mother of three and have recently completed my college degree. [00:]The last project the professor assigned us to do was called “Smile.”[00:]The class was asked to go out and smile at three people and then write down their reaction.[00:]I am a very friendly person and always smile at everyone I meet and say “hello.”[00:]So I thought that it would be a piece of cake for me.[00:]Soon after we were assigned the project, my husband,[00:]the youngest son and I went out to the local McDonalds on a cold March morning.[00:]Just when we were standing in line, waiting to be served, [00:]I smelled a horrible “dirty body” smell, and there standing behind me were two poor homeless men.[01:]As I looked down at the shorter gentleman close to me, he was smiling. [01:]His beautiful sky blue eyes were searching for acceptance. [01:]He said, “Good day” as he counted the few coins he had. [01:]The second man was mentally retarded.[01:]The young lady at the counter asked the shorter man what they wanted. [01:]He said, “Just coffee for the two of us.”[01:]Obviously, it was all they could afford.[01:]To sit in the restaurant and warm up, they had to buy something —they just wanted to be warm.[01:]Then I was suddenly filled with sympathy.[01:]All eyes in the restaurant were set on me, judging my every action. [01:]I smiled and asked the young lady behind the counter to[01:]give me two more breakfast meals on a separate tray.[02:]I then walked to the table where the two men were sitting. [02:]I put the tray on the table and laid my hand on the blue-eyed gentleman’s cold hand.[02:]He looked up at me and said, “Thank you.”[02:]I leaned over and said, “Just help yourselves.”[02:]I started to cry when I walked away to join my husband and son. [02:]As I sat down, my husband smiled at me and held my hand for a moment. [02:]I returned to college, with this story in hand.[02:]I turned in “my project” and the professor was touched and read it to the whole class.[02:]The whole class was touched.[02:]I graduated with one of the biggest lessons I would ever learn —UNCONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE.Unit 2 Optimism and Positive Thinking[00:]Listen and Respond[00:]Attitude Is Everything[00:]Michael was a natural optimist.[00:]He was always in a good mood, always up and always had something positive to say.[00:]If an employee was having a bad day,[00:]Michael was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation.[00:]Seeing his optimism really made me curious, so one day I went up to Michael[00:]and asked him, “I don’t get it.[00:]You can’t be positive all the time.[00:]How do you do it”[00:]Michael replied, “Each morning I wake up and say to myself: Mike, you have two choices today.[00:]You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood.[00:]I choose to be in a good mood.[01:]Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or choose to learn from it.[01:]I choose to learn from it.[01:]Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept the complaining[01:]or I can point out the positive side of life, I always choose the positive side of life.”[01:]“Yeah, right.[01:]But it isn’t that easy.”[01:]I said.[01:]“Yes, it is easy,” Michael said.[01:]“Life is all about choices.[01:]Every situation in life is a choice.[01:]You choose how you react to situations; you choose how people will affect your mood; you choose how you feel.[01:]The bottom line is: It’s your choice how you live your life.”[01:]From Michael I have learned that every day we have a choice to live fully.[01:]So I will choose to be an optimist.[01:]If I am an optimist I may feel better, enjoy life more, and maybe have more chances of success.Unit 3 The Road to Success[00:]Listen and Respond[00:]Follow Your Dream[00:]One day in a high school, a senior named Monty Roberts was asked to write[00:]a paper about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up. [00:]Monty Roberts was the son of a horse trainer.[00:]He loved horses.[00:]That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of someday owning a large horse ranch.[00:]He wrote about his dream in great detail and he even drew a picture of a 200-acre ranch.[00:]He put a great deal of his heart into the dream ranch[00:]and the next day he handed the paper in to his teacher.[00:]Two days later he received his paper back.[00:]He got a large red F for his paper.[01:]He went to ask the teacher why.[01:]The teacher said, “The dream is impossible for you.[01:]You have no money.[01:]Owning a horse ranch needs a lot of money.[01:]You have to buy the land, the house, and the machines for your ranch. [01:]There’s no way you could ever do it.”[01:]Then the teacher added, “If you will write this paper a gain [01:]with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade.”[01:]The boy went home and thought about it long and hard.[01:]He asked his father what he should do.[01:]His father said, “Look, son, you have to make up your own mind on this.[01:]Ho wever, I think it is a very important decision for you.”[01:]Finally, after sitting with it for a week, the boy turned in the same paper, making no changes at all.[01:]He said to the teacher, “You can keep the F and I’ll keep my dream. [02:]I will follow my heart, no matter what happens.”[02:]Now years have passed.[02:]This young man’s dream has finally come true.[02:]He is the owner of a large horse ranch.Unit 4 Being Creative[0:]Listen and Respond[0:]Creativity Is the Essence of Life and Nature[0:]Creativity is the essence of life and nature.[0:]The world itself is in a constant act of creation, so we human beings should ask ourselves — Why,[0:]in such a creative world, do some people sometimes appear to be stupid, dull, and uncreative[0:]— Are people really dull[0:]Or are we all, in fact, creative[0:]To answer this, let’s look at a baby.[0:]The whole essence of a baby is creative —it is creative in learning to walk, talk, sing, and play.[0:]Just imagine, a child can create a world of its own imagination and play with it for hours.[0:]A scientist who creates a theory is just like that — it is a play of ideas within the mind.[1:]It is hard to stop creativity in a young child.[1:]You can’t make your child creative.[1:]It simply is creative.[1:]Then, how can our children be still more creative[1:]I would suggest that the first step is to allow ourselves to be creative.[1:]If we ourselves are creative, we can guide our children in a way that is free and unconditioned.[1:]We should give our children a free and safe surrounding for them to explore, make mistakes and create.[1:]If we know a better way to do things, we should guide or “help” the child.Unit 5 The Value of Life[0:]Listen and Respond[0:]Life is a Bottle of Rocks[0:]A philosophy professor stood before his class with some items on the desk in front of him.[0:]When the final student was seated, he picked up a large[0:]and empty glass bottle and filled it with rocks about 2 inches in diameter.[0:]He then asked the students if the jar was full.[0:]They agreed that it was.[0:]He then picked up a box of pebbles and added them to the jar, shaking it lightly.[0:]The pebbles, of course rolled into the open areas between the rocks. [0:]“Is this jar filled now”[0:]Yes, the students said.[0:]But then he picked up a bag of sand and poured it into bottle. [0:]The sand filled in everything else.[0:]Once more he asked if it was full and after some thinking they said that it was.[1:]The professor then took 2 cans of beer and poured the beer into the jar.[1:]The students laughed loudly.[1:]After the laughter stopped, the professor spoke again: “I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life.[1:]The rocks are the important things in your life, your family, your partner, your health,[1:]your children — things that would still remain even if everything else were lost, and your life would still be full.[1:]The pebbles are the other things that matter — like your job, your house, your car.[1:]The sand is everything else.[1:]The small stuff.[1:]If you put the sand into the jar first there is no room for the pebbles or the rocks.”[1:]“The same goes for your life.[1:]If you spend your life on small stuff, you will never have room for things that are important to you.[2:]Pay attention to things that are critical to your happiness: your family, your health.[2:]There will always be time to go to work, clean the house and so on. [2:]Take care of the rocks first — the things that really matter. [2:]Set your priorities.[2:]Th e else is just sand.”[2:]After the impact of what he said settled,[2:]one of the students raised his hand and inquired what the beer represented.[2:]“I am glad you asked.”[2:]He replied.[2:]“It just goes to prove that no matter how full your life may seem, [2:]there is always room for a couple of beers.”Unit 6 Learning to Work Together[0:]Listen and Respond[0:]Be a Team Player[0:]If you really wish to succeed in life, it is very important to be a team player.[0:]For example, in a basketball game, Michael Jordan is a great player, [0:]but he still has to cooperate well with his team members to win a game, [0:]because every member of his team has a very specific role[0:]and every member of the team is vital to the success of the team. [0:]If one player does not play well, the team will lose the game. [0:]Of course, the concept of teamwork applies to more than just sports. [0:]In the workplace and in school, working together is also an important element for success.[0:]In the workplace, it is important to be thought of as a team player, [0:]for no one person can build a railroad or manage an airline. [1:]In today’s world most companies are using team concepts to run their business.[1:]Success in college can also depend on teamwork.[1:]Lab work and group projects are just some of the experiences requiring good cooperation with others.[1:]Human beings are social creatures.[1:]Like it or not, we are all team players.Unit 7 Adversity[0:]Listen and Respond[0:]Carrots, Eggs and Coffee Beans[0:]A daughter complained to her father about her life and how things were so hard for her.[0:]She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. [0:]Her father, a cook, took her to the kitchen.[0:]He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. [0:]When the water came to a boil, he placed carrots in one of them, [0:]eggs in the second pot, and coffee beans in the third.[0:]His daughter waited impatiently and wondered what he was doing. [0:]In about twenty minutes he took out the boiled carrots and eggs and placed them in two different bowls.[0:]Then he poured her a cup of coffee.[1:]He turned to his daughter, and asked her, “What do you see”[1:]“Carrots, eggs, and coffee,” she replied and asked, “What does it mean, Father”[1:]He explained that the carrots, eggs and coffee beans each had faced [1:]the same adversity, boiling water, but each reacted differently. [1:]The carrots went in strong and hard but came out softened and weak. [1:]The eggs had been weak.[1:]But after being boiled their inside became hardened.[1:]The coffee beans were unique, however.[1:]After they were boiled in the boiling water, they had made the water taste better.[1:]Then the father asked his daughter, “When adversity knocks on your door, how do you react[1:]When life isn’t turning out quite the way you expected, you have a choice to make.[1:]Which will you be — a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean[2:]If you are like the coffee bean, when things are at their worst, [2:]you get better and make thi ngs better around you.”Unit 8 Human Behaviour[00:]Listen and Respond[00:]The Unexpected Rescue[00:]I was walking along a dark street late one evening when I heard screams coming from behind some bushes.[00:]Alarmed, I slowed down to listen, and realized that what I was [00:]hearing were the sounds of a hard fight and tearing of clothes. [00:]Only yards from where I stood, a woman was being attacked. [00:]Should I get involved[00:]I was frightened for my own safety and cursed myself for having suddenly decided to take a new way home.[00:]Shouldn’t I run to the nearest phone and call the police [00:]Although the thoughts in my head had only taken seconds, already the girl’s cries were growing weaker.[00:]I knew I had to act fast.[00:]How could I walk away from this[00:]No, I finally decided.[00:]I could not turn my back on the fate of this[01:]unknown woman even if it meant risking my own life.[01:]I am not a brave man, nor am I a strong man.[01:]I don’t know where I found the courage and physic al strength, [01:]but once I had finally decided to help the girl I seemed to have changed into another man.[01:]I ran behind the bushes and pulled the attacker off the woman. [01:]While struggling, we fell to the ground,[01:]where we wrestled for a few minutes until the attacker jumped up and escaped.[01:]Breathing hard, I approached the girl, who was sobbing behind a tree. [01:]In the darkness I could barely see her outline, but I could sense her trembling shock.[01:]Not wanting to frighten her further, I spoke to her from a distance. [01:]“It’s OK.”[01:]I comforted her.[01:]“The man ran away.[01:]You are safe now.”[01:]There was a long pause...[01:]I heard the words in amazement.[01:]“Daddy, is that you”[02:]And then, from behind the tree, stepped out my youngest daughter, Katherine.。
