Americans think that travel is good for people. Some even think it can help one of the country’s worst problems—crime(犯罪).

Crime worries a lot of people. Every year, the number of crimes goes up and up. They often come from sad homes, with only one parent or no parents at all. There are problems with alcohol(酒精) and drugs.

There are many young criminals(罪犯) in prison(监狱). But prison doesn’t change them—60 to 70 percent(百分比) will go back to crime when they come out of prison.

One man, Bob Burton, thought 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 brave, and to help their friends in time of danger. This helped them to grow into men. So Bob started “Vision Quest”.

He takes young criminals on a long, long journey with horses and wagons(货车) 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 chance.

It’s hard work on the road. 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. But they can love their horses. That love can help them to a new life.

Not all young people in Vision Quest will leave crime behind them. Thirty or forty percent till one day be in prison again. But that’s a lot better than 60 or 70 percent. Bob is right. Travel can be good for them.

Even today, Americans still say, “Go west, young men.”

1.According to the passages, travel is good for people because it can　　　　 .

A、get rid of(摆脱) crime completely

B、change the way of life

C、help to reduce criminals

2.Which of the following is NOT the character of the criminals?

A、A lot of them are young.

B、They may often drink wine too much and take drugs.

C、They like travelling far away from their homes.

3.Which of the following is TRUE?

A、Young criminals become less and less as time goes by.

B、All criminals do better after they come out of prison.

C、Many young criminals are changed better by Bob’s new idea.

4.The young people on Vision Quest have to　　　　 .

A、work all day and night

B、get up early to feed horses

C、love the homes

5.What does the underlined sentence “Go west, young men.” in the last paragraph mean?

A、People can learn to be strong and brave on a long journey.

B、People can learn to help others in time of danger on a long journey.

C、Both A and B.

Some people believe that people from the same country share similar (相似的) characteristics. This is why you might hear someone saying "She is typical(典型的) Australian" or "He is so French". Here are some examples.

French

French people are romantic and outgoing. They have great love for life, food and wine. They are good at singing and dancing.

Chinese

Chinese are friendly and hard-working people. They are polite because they are careful about "saving face" when they are with other people.

Australians

Australians are happy people. They spend a lot of time outdoors. They enjoy a slower life. They laugh a lot but sometimes people think they are loud and rude.

Germans

Germans are often serious and careful. They are hard workers and do everything carefully. However, sometimes people say Germans have no sense of humour.

All these national types can be true for some people, but very wrong for others. For example, you might meet a German who is a confident singer with a great sense of humour, or an Australian who is shy and quiet!
