The Kindness of StrangersMike Mclntyre1. One summer I was driving from my hometown of Tahoe City, California, to New Orleans. In the middle of the desert, I came upon a young man standing by the roadside. He had his thumb out and held a gas can in his other hand. I drove right by him. Someone else will stop for him, I reasoned. Besides, that gas can is just a ploy to flag down a car and rob the driver. There was a time in this country when you’d be considered a jerk if you passed by somebody in need. Now you’re a fool for helping. With gangs, drug addicts, murderers, rapists, thieves and carjackers lurking everywhere, why risk it? “I don’t want to get involved” has become a national motto.2. Several states later I was still thinking about the hitchhiker. Leaving him stranded in the desert didn’t bother me as much. What bothered me was how easily I had reached the decision. I never even lifted my foot off the accelerator. Does anyone stop anymore? I wondered.3. I thought of my destination — New Orleans, the setting for Tennessee Williams’s play A Streetcar Named Desire. I recalled Blanche DuBois’s famous line: “I have always depended on the kindness of strangers.”4. The kindness of strangers. It sounds so quaint. Could anyone rely on the kindness of strangers these days?5. One way to test this would be for a person to journey from coast to coast without any money, relying solely on the good will of his fellow Americans. What kind of America would he find? Who would feed him, shelter him, carry him down the road?6. The idea intrigued me. But who’d be crazy enough to try such a trip? Well, I figured, why not me.7. The week I turned 37, I realized I’d never taken a gamble in my life. So I decided to make a leap of faith a continent wide — to go from the Pacific to the Atlantic without a penny. If I was offered money, I’d refuse it. I’d accept only rides, food and a place to rest my head.It would be a cashless journey through the land of the almighty dollar. My final destination would be Cape Fear in North Carolina, a symbol of all the fears I’d have to conquer during the trip.8. I rose early on September 6, 1994,hoisted a 50-pound pack onto my back and headed for the Golden Gate Bridge. Then I took a sign from my backpack, displaying my destination to passing vehicles: “America.”9. Drivers mouthed the word through windshields, then, smiled. Two women rode by on bicycles. “It’s a bit vague,” said one. A young man with a German accent wandered up and asked, “Where is this ‘America’?”10. Indeed, for six weeks I tried to find out. I hitched 82rides and covered 4,223 miles across 14 states. As I traveled, I discovered that others shared my fear. Folks were always warning me about someplace else. In Montana they told me to watch out for the cowboys in Wyoming. In Nebraska I was warned that people would not be as nice in Iowa.11. Yet I was treated with kindness in every state I traveled. I was amazed by the stubborn capacity of Americans to help a stranger, even when it seemed to run contrary to their own best interests. One day in Nebraska a four-door sedan pulled to the road shoulder. When I reached the window, I saw two little old ladies dressed in their Sunday finest.12. “I know you’re not supposed to pick up hitchhikers, but it’s so far between towns out here, you feel badpassing a person,” said the driver, who introduced herself as Vi. She and her sister Helen were going to see an eye doctor in Ainsworth, Nebraska.13. I didn’t know whether to kiss them or scold them for stopping. This woman was telling me she’d rather risk her life than feel bad about passing a stranger on the side of the road. When they dropped me at a highway junction, I looked at Vi. We both spoke at the same time: “Be careful.”14. Once when I was hitchhiking unsuccessfully in the rain, a trucker pulled over, locking his brakes so hard that he skidded on the grass shoulder. The driver told me he was once robbed at knifepoint by a hitchhiker. “But I hate to see a man stand out in the rain,” he added. “People don’t have no heart anymore.”15. I found, however, that people were generally compassionate. A middle-aged Iowa couple shepherded me around for an hour, trying to help me find a campground. In South Dakota a woman whose family had given me a night’s lodging handed me two stamped post cards: one to let her know how my trip turned out; the other to send the next day, telling her where I was so she wouldn’t worry about me.16. Hearing I had no money and would take none, people in every state bought me food or shared whatever they happened to have with them. A park ranger in Ukiah, Calif., gave me some carrots. A college student handed me sacks filled with organic tomatoes and melons. A woman in Iowa gave me two bundles of graham crackers, two cans of soda, two cans of tuna, two apples and two pieces of chicken.17. The people who had the least to give often gave the most. In Oregon a home painter named Mike noted the chilly weather and asked if I had a coat. When I replied, “a light one,” he drove me to his house, rummaged through his garage and handed me a bulky green Army-style jacket.18. Elsewhere in Oregon a lumber-mill worker named Tim invited me to a simple dinner with his family in their dilapidated house. He gave me a Bible. Then he offered me his tent. I refused, knowing it was probably one of the family’s most valuable possessions. But Tim was determined that I have it, and finally I agreed to take it.19. I was grateful to all the people I met for their rides, their food, their shelter, their gifts. But the kindest act of all was when they merely were themselves.20. One day I walked into the local chamber of commerce in Jamestown, Tennessee. A man inside the old stone building jumped up from his cluttered desk. “Come on in,” said Baxter Wilson, 59. He was the executive director.21. When I asked him about camping in the area, he handed me a brochure for a local campground. “Would you like me to call for you?” he asked.22. Seeing that it cost $12,I replied, “No, that’s all right. I’m not sure what I’m going to do.”23. Then he saw my backpack. “Almost anybody around here will let you pitch a tent on their land, if that’s what you want,” he said.24. Now you’re talking, I thought. “Any particular direction?” I asked.25. “Tell you what. I’ve got a big farm about ten miles south of here. If you’re here at 5:30, you can ride with me. “26. I accepted, and we drove out to a magnificent country house. Suddenly I realized he’d invited me to spend the night in his home.27. His wife, Carol, was cooking a pot roast when we walked into the kitchen. A seventh-grade science teacher,she was the picture of Southern charm.28. Baxter explained that local folks were “mountain stay-at-home people”, and he considered himself one of them. “We rarely entertain in our house,” he said. “When we do, it’s usually kin.” The revelation made my night there all the more special.29. The next morning when I came downstairs, Carol asked if I’d come to her school and talk to her class about my trip. I told her I didn’t want to encourage a bunch of seventh-graders to hitchhike across the United States. But Carol said the kids should be exposed to what else is out there — the good and the bad. “They need to know,” she said.30. I agreed, and before long had been scheduled to talk to every class in the school. All the kids were well-mannered and attentive. Their questions kept coming: Where were people the kindest? How many pairs of shoes did I have? Had anybody tried to run me over? Were the pigs’ feet as good in other parts of the country? Had I fallen in love with anyone? What was I most afraid of?31. Although I hadn’t planned it this way, I discovered that a patriotic tone ran through the talks I gave that afternoon. I told the students how my faith in America had been renewed. I told them how proud I was to live in a country where people were still willing to help out a stranger. I told them that the question I had in mind when I planned the trip was clearly answered. Indeed, no matter who you are, you can still depend on the kindness of strangers.。

Unit 1 Living in Harmony[00:04.00]Listen and Respond[00:06.78]Smile[00:10.76]I am a mother of three and have recently completed my college degree.[00:16.57]The last project the professor assigned us to do was called “Smile.”[00:22.95]The class was asked to go out and smile at three people and then write down their reaction.[00:30.42]I am a very friendly person and always smile at everyone I meet and say “hello.”[00:36.54]So I thought that it would be a piece of cake for me. [00:41.52]Soon after we were assigned the project, my husband,[00:45.47]the youngest son and I went out to the local McDonalds on a cold March morning.[00:51.63]Just when we were standing in line, waiting to be served, [00:55.66]I smelled a horrible “dirty body” smell, and there standing behind me were two poor homeless men.[01:03.96]As I looked down at the shorter gentleman close to me, he was smiling.[01:09.48]His beautiful sky blue eyes were searching for acceptance. [01:14.19]He said, “Good day” as he counted the few coins he had. [01:19.73]The second man was mentally retarded.[01:23.65]The young lady at the counter asked the shorter man what they wanted.[01:28.38]He said, “Just coffee for the two of us.”[01:32.48]Obviously, it was all they could afford.[01:35.94]To sit in the restaurant and warm up, they had to buy something — they just wanted to be warm.[01:44.01]Then I was suddenly filled with sympathy.[01:47.18]All eyes in the restaurant were set on me, judging my every action.[01:52.74]I smiled and asked the young lady behind the counter to [01:56.79]give me two more breakfast meals on a separate tray.[02:00.93]I then walked to the table where the two men were sitting. [02:05.09]I put the tray on the table and laid my hand on the blue-eyed gentleman’s cold hand.[02:12.07]He looked up at me and said, “Thank you.”[02:15.98]I leaned over and said, “Just help yourselves.”[02:20.22]I started to cry when I walked away to join my husband and son. [02:25.10]As I sat down, my husband smiled at me and held my hand for a moment.[02:32.03]I returned to college, with this story in hand.[02:35.74]I turned in “my project” and the professor was touched andread it to the whole class.[02:43.20]The whole class was touched.[02:45.34]I graduated with one of the biggest lessons I would ever learn — UNCONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE.Unit 2 Optimism and Positive Thinking[00:05.81]Listen and Respond[00:08.87]Attitude Is Everything[00:12.53]Michael was a natural optimist.[00:15.46]He was always in a good mood, always up and always had something positive to say.[00:22.52]If an employee was having a bad day,[00:25.29]Michael was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation.[00:31.51]Seeing his optimism really made me curious, so one day I went up to Michael[00:37.44]and asked him, “I don’t get it.[00:39.70]You can’t be positive all the time.[00:42.52]How do you do it?”[00:45.24]Michael replied, “Each morning I wake up and say to myself: Mike, you have two choices today.[00:53.41]You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood.[00:58.89]I choose to be in a good mood.[01:01.46]Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or choose to learn from it.[01:08.30]I choose to learn from it.[01:10.88]Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept the complaining[01:16.56]or I can point out the positive side of life, I always choose the positive side of life.”[01:23.05]“Yeah, right.[01:24.25]But it isn’t that easy.”[01:25.94]I said.[01:27.13]“Yes, it is easy,” Michael said.[01:30.30]“Life is all about choices.[01:32.75]Every situation in life is a choice.[01:35.67]You choose how you react to situations; you choose how people will affect your mood; you choose how you feel.[01:43.93]The bottom line is: It’s your choice how you live your life.”[01:49.18]From Michael I have learned that every day we have a choice to live fully.[01:54.09]So I will choose to be an optimist.[01:56.80]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[00:05.83]Listen and Respond[00:08.68]Follow Your Dream[00:12.62]One day in a high school, a senior named Monty Roberts was asked to write[00:18.50]a paper about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up. [00:23.83]Monty Roberts was the son of a horse trainer.[00:27.54]He loved horses.[00:29.55]That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of someday owning a large horse ranch.[00:37.49]He wrote about his dream in great detail and he even drew a picture of a 200-acre ranch.[00:45.22]He put a great deal of his heart into the dream ranch [00:48.88]and the next day he handed the paper in to his teacher. [00:53.10]Two days later he received his paper back.[00:56.41]He got a large red F for his paper.[01:00.81]He went to ask the teacher why.[01:03.42]The teacher said, “The dream is impossible for you.[01:07.50]You have no money.[01:09.06]Owning a horse ranch needs a lot of money.[01:12.73]You have to buy the land, the house, and the machines for your ranch.[01:18.49]There’s no way you could ever do it.”[01:21.86]Then the teacher added, “If you will write this paper again [01:26.28]with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade.”[01:31.32]The boy went home and thought about it long and hard. [01:35.09]He asked his father what he should do.[01:38.24]His father said, “Look, son, you have to make up your own mind on this.[01:44.59]However, I think it is a very important decision for you.”[01:50.55]Finally, after sitting with it for a week, the boy turned in the same paper, making no changes at all.[01:59.39]He said to the teacher, “You can keep the F and I’ll keep my dream.[02:04.34]I will follow my heart, no matter what happens.”[02:08.55]Now years have passed.[02:10.70]This young man’s dream has finally come true.[02:14.52]He is the owner of a large horse ranch.Unit 4 Being Creative[0:5.15]Listen and Respond[0:8.23]Creativity Is the Essence of Life and Nature[0:13.75]Creativity is the essence of life and nature.[0:17.65]The world itself is in a constant act of creation, so we human beings should ask ourselves — Why,[0:25.57]in such a creative world, do some people sometimes appear to be stupid, dull, and uncreative?[0:33.31]— Are people really dull?[0:35.38]Or are we all, in fact, creative?[0:39.12]To answer this, let’s look at a baby.[0:42.24]The whole essence of a baby is creative — it is creative in learning to walk, talk, sing, and play.[0:51.37]Just imagine, a child can create a world of its own imagination and play with it for hours.[0:58.85]A scientist who creates a theory is just like that — it is a play of ideas within the mind.[1:5.57]It is hard to stop creativity in a young child.[1:10.51]You can’t make your child creative.[1:13.57]It simply is creative.[1:16.96]Then, how can our children be still more creative?[1:21.67]I would suggest that the first step is to allow ourselves to be creative.[1:26.96]If we ourselves are creative, we can guide our children in a way that is free and unconditioned.[1:34.70]We should give our children a free and safe surrounding for them to explore, make mistakes and create.[1:42.06]If we know a better way to do things, we should guide or “help”the child.Unit 5 The Value of Life[0:5.18]Listen and Respond[0:7.62]Life is a Bottle of Rocks[0:11.23]A philosophy professor stood before his class with some items on the desk in front of him.[0:17.95]When the final student was seated, he picked up a large [0:22.13]and empty glass bottle and filled it with rocks about 2 inches in diameter.[0:27.98]He then asked the students if the jar was full.[0:31.38]They agreed that it was.[0:34.52]He then picked up a box of pebbles and added them to the jar, shaking it lightly.[0:40.88]The pebbles, of course rolled into the open areas between the rocks.[0:46.50]“Is this jar filled now?”[0:48.81]Yes, the students said.[0:51.48]But then he picked up a bag of sand and poured it into bottle. [0:55.89]The sand filled in everything else.[0:58.67]Once more he asked if it was full and after some thinking they said that it was.[1:5.91]The professor then took 2 cans of beer and poured the beer into the jar.[1:11.73]The students laughed loudly.[1:15.17]After the laughter stopped, the professor spoke again: “I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life.[1:24.41]The rocks are the important things in your life, your family, your partner, your health,[1:30.67]your children —things that would still remain even if everything else were lost, and your life would still be full.[1:39.37]The pebbles are the other things that matter — like your job, your house, your car.[1:45.74]The sand is everything else.[1:47.84]The small stuff.[1:49.26]If you put the sand into the jar first there is no room for the pebbles or the rocks.”[1:55.56]“The same goes for your life.[1:58.43]If you spend your life on small stuff, you will never have room for things that are important to you.[2:5.13]Pay attention to things that are critical to your happiness: your family, your health.[2:12.00]There will always be time to go to work, clean the house and so on.[2:17.03]Take care of the rocks first — the things that really matter. [2:21.61]Set your priorities.[2:23.44]The else is just sand.”[2:26.37]After the impact of what he said settled,[2:29.50]one of the students raised his hand and inquired what the beer represented.[2:34.70]“I am glad you asked.”[2:36.24]He replied.[2:37.54]“It just goes to prove that no matter how full your life may seem,[2:41.99]there is always room for a couple of beers.”Unit 6 Learning to Work Together[0:5.84]Listen and Respond[0:8.63]Be a Team Player[0:11.12]If you really wish to succeed in life, it is very important to be a team player.[0:16.87]For example, in a basketball game, Michael Jordan is a great player,[0:21.82]but he still has to cooperate well with his team members to win a game,[0:26.38]because every member of his team has a very specific role [0:30.22]and every member of the team is vital to the success of the team. [0:34.75]If one player does not play well, the team will lose the game. [0:39.62]Of course, the concept of teamwork applies to more than just sports.[0:44.54]In the workplace and in school, working together is also an important element for success.[0:51.34]In the workplace, it is important to be thought of as a team player,[0:55.83]for no one person can build a railroad or manage an airline. [1:0.59]In today’s world most companies are using team concepts to run their business.[1:6.92]Success in college can also depend on teamwork.[1:10.48]Lab work and group projects are just some of the experiences requiring good cooperation with others.[1:18.69]Human beings are social creatures.[1:21.12]Like it or not, we are all team players.Unit 7 Adversity[0:4.50]Listen and Respond[0:6.95]Carrots, Eggs and Coffee Beans[0:13.10]A daughter complained to her father about her life and how things were so hard for her.[0:19.41]She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up.[0:24.85]Her father, a cook, took her to the kitchen.[0:29.72]He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. [0:35.16]When the water came to a boil, he placed carrots in one of them, [0:40.19]eggs in the second pot, and coffee beans in the third.[0:44.66]His daughter waited impatiently and wondered what he was doing. [0:50.12]In about twenty minutes he took out the boiled carrots and eggs and placed them in two different bowls.[0:58.26]Then he poured her a cup of coffee.[1:2.31]He turned to his daughter, and asked her, “What do you see?”[1:7.09]“Carrots, eggs, and coffee,” she replied and asked, “What does it mean, Father?”[1:14.08]He explained that the carrots, eggs and coffee beans each had faced[1:20.02]the same adversity, boiling water, but each reacted differently. [1:25.79]The carrots went in strong and hard but came out softened and weak.[1:31.09]The eggs had been weak.[1:33.26]But after being boiled their inside became hardened.[1:37.59]The coffee beans were unique, however.[1:40.51]After they were boiled in the boiling water, they had made the water taste better.[1:47.09]Then the father asked his daughter, “When adversity knocks on your door, how do you react?[1:53.82]When life isn’t turning out quite the way you expected, you have a choice to make.[1:59.17]Which will you be — a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean? [2:4.74]If you are like the coffee bean, when things are at their worst, [2:8.94]you get better and make things better around you.”Unit 8 Human Behaviour[00:04.44]Listen and Respond[00:06.96]The Unexpected Rescue[00:10.29]I was walking along a dark street late one evening when I heard screams coming from behind some bushes.[00:17.57]Alarmed, I slowed down to listen, and realized that what I was [00:21.93]hearing were the sounds of a hard fight and tearing of clothes. [00:26.33]Only yards from where I stood, a woman was being attacked. [00:30.41]Should I get involved?[00:31.82]I was frightened for my own safety and cursed myself for having suddenly decided to take a new way home.[00:39.28]Shouldn’t I run to the nearest phone and call the police? [00:43.53]Although the thoughts in my head had only taken seconds, already the girl’s cries were growing weaker.[00:50.78]I knew I had to act fast.[00:53.30]How could I walk away from this?[00:55.52]No, I finally decided.[00:57.53]I could not turn my back on the fate of this[01:00.19]unknown woman even if it meant risking my own life.[01:05.00]I am not a brave man, nor am I a strong man.[01:08.33]I don’t know where I found the courage and physical strength, [01:12.15]but once I had finally decided to help the girl I seemed to have changed into another man.[01:18.62]I ran behind the bushes and pulled the attacker off the woman. [01:22.77]While struggling, we fell to the ground,[01:25.23]where we wrestled for a few minutes until the attacker jumped up and escaped.[01:30.38]Breathing hard, I approached the girl, who was sobbing behind a tree.[01:34.97]In the darkness I could barely see her outline, but I could sense her trembling shock.[01:41.17]Not wanting to frighten her further, I spoke to her from a distance.[01:46.04]“It’s OK.”[01:47.20]I comforted her.[01:48.80]“The man ran away.[01:50.62]You are safe now.”[01:53.81]There was a long pause...[01:56.25]I heard the words in amazement.[01:59.21]“Daddy, is that you?”[02:01.97]And then, from behind the tree, stepped out my youngest daughter, Katherine.。

一名语言教师的个人看法威尔•皮德克罗夫特1 我每天都会在报纸上、公共汽车上看到各种广告，声称轻轻松松就能学好英语。

按照这些广告的说法，学生不必费什么力气，要说一口流利的英语只需短短3个月,甚至10天就行。

广告还常常提到威廉•莎士比亚和查尔斯•狄更斯等英语文学大师的名号进一步激励学生。

每当看到诸如此类的广告时，我真是哭笑不得。

如果学英语真像这些广告所说的那么轻松，我恐怕得另谋出路了，因为不需要那么多合格的英语教师了。

但是肯定有许多人相信这些可笑的噱头，不然的话这些广告也不可能出现。

2 学生们喜欢实惠的速成学习方法也在情理之中，但要用浅显易懂的语言去解释为什么某一方法比另一方法更有效并不是一件简单的事，而且也无需装模作样地声称有什么人已经找到了一个万能的适合所有学习环境的教学方法。

一些专家甚至认为，有多少个好老师就有多少种好的教学方法，因为每一个老师都有其自身的特点。

3 有很长一段时间，人们认为学好一门语言唯一的方法就是去使用那种语言的国家待上一段时间。

当然去英国、美国、或者澳大利亚等国家学英语的学生肯定比那些不能去的学生具有很大优势，但是很多学生支付不起那笔费用。

有些学生走向另一极端：他们认为可以借助词典在家自学。

如果你认为英语中的每一个词在另一语言中都有完全对等的词，那就错了，反之亦然。

通过翻译法来给学生讲解口语的自然形式是不可能的，更不要说做到语音、语调地道了。

4 现在大量的教学活动还是建立在行为主义心理学的基础之上。

行为主义者热衷于让学生复述短语，不断做一些只需更换句中某个词的练习。

假如我们是鹦鹉或黑猩猩，那这些方法或许能奏效，可惜我们不是，这似乎让很多理论家引以为憾，否则他们提出的那些方法用起来就会容易得多了。

5 我个人认为，假如没有兴趣，任何人都不可能学好英语或其它任何语言。

与鹦鹉或黑猩猩不同，人类不会无缘无故地发出噪音，除非他们明白这些声音是什么意思，并且能将其与自己的生活联系起来。

值得牢记的是：语言是一种交际手段，人们在母语中怎么说怎么写，用另一种语言表达时也大同小异。
