One summer I was driving frm my hme twn f Tahe City, Calif., t New Orleans. In the middle f the desert, I came upn a yung man standing by the radside. He had his thumb ut and
held a gas can in his ther hand. I drve right by him. There was a time in the cuntry when yu'd be cnsidered a jerk if yu passed by smebdy in need. Nw yu are a fl fr helping. With gangs,
drug addicts, murderers(杀人凶手), rapists, thieves lurking everywhere, "I dn't want t get invlved" has becme a natinal mtt.Several states later I was still thinking abut the hitch­hiker. Leaving him standing in the desert did nt bther me s much. What bthered me was hw easily I had reached the decisin. I never even lifted my ft ff the acceleratr.
Des anyne stp any mre? I wndered. I recalled Blanche DuBis's famus line: "I have always depended n the kindness f strangers". Culd anyne rely n the kindness f strangers these
days? One way t test this wuld be fr a persn t jurney frm cast t cast withut any mney, relying slely n the gd will f his fellw Americans. What kind f Americans wuld he find? Wh
wuld feed him, shelter him, carry him dwn the rad?The idea intrigued me. The week I turned 37, I realized that I had never taken a gamble in my life. S I decided t travel frm the Pacific t the Atlantic withut a penny. It wuld be a cashless jurney thrugh the
land f the almighty dllar. I wuld nly accept ffers f rides, fd and a place t rest my head. My final destinatin wuld be Cape Fear in Nrth Carlina, a symbl f all the fears I'd have t cnquer during the trip. I rse early n September 6, 1994, and headed fr the Glden Gate Bridge with a 50­pund pack n my back and a sign displaying my destinatin t passing vehicles: "America".
Fr six weeks I hitched 82 rides and cvered 4,223 miles acrss 14 states. As I traveled, flks were always warning me abut smeplace else. In Mntana they tld me t watch ut fr the cwbys in Wyming; in Nebraska they said peple wuld nt be as nice as in Iwa. Yet I was treated with kindness everywhere I went. I was amazed by peple's readiness t help a stranger, even when it seemed t run cntrary t their wn best interests.

Tday’s wrld is nt an easy adjustment fr yung adults. A key skill set fr success is persistence (毅力)，a characteristic that researchers say is heavily influenced by fathers. Researchers frm Brigham Yung University discvered that fathers are in a unique psitin t help their adlescent children learn persistence.
BYU prfessrs Laura Padilla-Walker and Randal Day arrived at these findings after fllwing 325 American families ver several years. And ver time, the persistence gained thrugh fathers led t higher achievement in schl.
“There are relatively few studies that stress the unique rle f fathers.” Padilla-Walker said. “This research als helps t prve that characteristics such as persistence - which can he taught - are key t a child’s life success.”
Researchers determined that dads need t practice an “authritative” parenting style. Authritative parenting is nt authritarian: rigid, demanding r cntrlling. Rather, an authritative parenting style includes sme f the fllwing characteristics: children feel warmth and lve frm their father; respnsibility and the reasns behind rules are stressed； children are given an apprpriate level f autnmy (自主权).
In the study, abut 52 percent f the dads exhibited abve-average levels f authritative parenting. A key finding is that ver time, children raised by an authritative father were significantly mre likely t develp persistence, which leads t better utcmes in schl.
This particular study examined 11 t 14-year-lds living in tw-parent hmes. Yet the researchers suggest that single parents still may play a rle in teaching the benefits f persistence, which is an avenue f future research.
32.What is special abut the RYU prfessrs’ study?
A. It centered n fathers’ rle in parenting. B. It was based n a number f large families.
C. It analyzed different kinds f parenting styles. D. It aimed t imprve kids，achievement in schl.
33. What wuld an authritative father d when raising his children?
A. Ignre their demands.B. Make decisins fr them.
C. Cntrl their behavirs.D. Explain the rules t them.
34. Which grup can be a fcus f future studies accrding t the researchers?
A. Single parents.B. Children aged frm 11 t 14.
C. Authritarian fathers.D. Mthers in tw-parent hmes.
35. Which f the fllwing is the best title fr the text?
A. Three Characteristics f Authritative Fathers
B. Key Skills fr Yung Adults t Succeed in Future
C. Children Tend t Learn Determinatin frm Father
D. Family Relatinship Influences Schl Perfrmance

His parents, srry fr that and disappinted by their sn’s behavir, sent their sn t the neighbr’s huse. David fllwed the man int his huse, thrugh the back dr, and ut int the yard. There, next t the fence, was a greenhuse. The neighbr led David int the greenhuse, and David imagined all kinds f punishments. What was the man ging t d with him?
As he led David dwn the rws f plants, the man began talking abut flwers. He walked slwly, shwing him each ne and explaining what he lved abut them.

In the deep purple, she lives in my eyes. And these rchids, right here, are very difficult t grw. But when they blm, they create the mst beautiful shape.
