Now you’re a fool for helping. “I don’t want to get involved” seems to have become a national motto. One summer I was driving from my hometown. In the middle of the desert, I passed a young man standing by the roadside. He had his 1 out and held a gas can in his other hand. I drove right by him. There was a time2 you’d be called a jerk (混蛋) for passing by somebody in need.Several days later I was still thinking about the hitchhiker (搭便车的人), about how I didn’t even lift my foot 3 the accelerator (加速踏板) for him. “Does anyone stop any more?” I wondered. I recalled Blanche DuBois’s famous line —“I have always depended on the kindness of strangers.” Was that 4 these days? One way to test this would be for a person to journey 5 the US without any money just 6 on the good will of others. What would happen? Would he find food, shelter and support? The idea intrigued (激起兴趣) me.The week I 7 37, I realized that I had never done something truly crazy. 8 I decided to really do it: travel from the Pacific to the Atlantic without a penny. I would only accept 9 of rides, food and places to sleep. For six weeks I hitched 82 rides and covered 4,223 miles across 14 states. I was treated kindly everywhere I went. I was 10 by people’s readiness to help a stranger.In Oregon a house painter named Mike 11 the cold weather and asked if I had a coat. I didn’t, so he gave me a big green army-style jacket. A lumber-mill worker in Michigan named Tim invited me to a 12 dinner with his family in their shabby house. Then he offered me a tent. I refused but Tim insisted, packing it into my bag himself. I found people were generally compassionate (有同情心的). Hearing I had no money and would take none, people bought me food or shared with me whatever they happened to have. Those who had the 13to give often gave the most.I’m grateful to all the people I met for their rides, their food, their shelter and their gifts. My faith in ordinary folks was 14 . I was proud to live in a country where people were still willing to help. In spite of everything, you can still depend on the 15 of strangers.1．A．thumb B．finger C．foot D．hand2．A．that B．where C．which D．when3．A．off B．on C．away D．from4．A．interesting B．possible C．necessary D．important5．A．across B．through C．in D．over6．A．basing B．relying C．insisting D．relating7．A．seemed B．got C．became D．turned8．A．But B．So C．And D．However9．A．jobs B．supplies C．helps D．offers10．A．frightened B．annoyed C．disappointed D．amazed11．A．noted B．saw C．felt D．sensed12．A．simple B．rich C．delicious D．interesting13．A．fewest B．most C．least D．best14．A．created B．reminded C．renewed D．returned15．A．kindness B．happiness C．fairness D．brightness2. 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
