To hitchhike successfully in any country you must be able to do two things: attract attention and at the same time convince the driver at a glance that you do not intend to rob or murder him. To fulfill the first requirement you must have some marks to distinguish you at once from all other hikers. A serviceman, for instance, should wear his uniform, and a student his scarf. In a foreign country an unmistakable indication of your own nationality will also arrest a driver's attention.
When I hitchhiked 9，500 miles across the United States, I wore a well－tailored suit, a bowler hat and a trench coat, and carried a pencil－thin rolled black umbrella. My suitcase was decorated with British flags. Having plenty of luggage, moreover, I was not likely to be suspected of being
a dangerous lunatic(精神病患者). I then had to get across to the driver the idea that I was a real traveller and needed to get somewhere cheaply.
But even with careful preparation, you must not assume that the task will be easy. You should be prepared to wait a little, for there are drivers who confess to a fierce prejudice against, (not to say hatred of) hitchhikers, and would no more pick up a hiker than march from Aldermaston to London. In America, my average wait is half an hour, and my longest is two hours, but I have heard of people waiting all day: they probably took less pains to make themselves easy to notice. Nor must you assume that all the drivers who stop for you are nice, normal people. On one occasion I found myself driving with two boys of about nineteen who turned out to be on the run from the police, and were hoping to use me as an alibi. There are also lesser(较小的) risks: you may find yourself in the car of a fascist fanatic, a Mormon missionary(传教士), or just a bad driver. You cannot tell, of course until you are in the car. But you soon learn the art of the quick excuse that gets you out again.
If the hitchhiker in the US will remember that he is seeking the willingness of drivers to give him a free ride, and is prepared to give in exchange entertainment and company, and not go to sleep, he will come across the remarkable, almost legendary, hospitality of American of the West. It will also help if he can drive—I think that I drove myself about 4，500 of those 9，500 miles I hitchhiked in the United States.
16．A serviceman should wear his uniform ________． A．so as not to look too unusual B．to attract attention C．to show he is on duty
D．to put the driver at ease
17．In Paragraph 3, we learn that the writer ________． A．has sometimes failed to hitch a ride B．has marched from Aldermaston to London C．has been successful in hitching a ride D．has had to wait for long hours for a ride 18．The main idea of Paragraph 4 is that ________． A．it is dangerous to be in a car with strangers B．hitchhiking may turn out to be risky sometimes C．a hitchhiker must also learn the art of quick excuse D．hitchhikers might come across bad drivers
19．In the last paragraph, the writer mainly wants to tell us that a hitchhiker should ________． A．not talk to the driver too much B．fall asleep to make it a peaceful ride C．try to make himself pleasant and entertaining D．not offer to drive
20．A suitable title for the passage would be ________． A．The art of hitchhiking B．An Englishman's view of the US C．An English hitchhiker
D．The joys and dangers of hitchhiking B [2013·卷]
Jimmy is an automotive mechanic and he lost his job a few months ago. He has a good heart but always feared applying for a new job.
One day, he gathered up all his strength and decided to attend a job interview. His appointment was at 10 am and it was already 8：30. While waiting for a bus to the office where he was supposed to be interviewed, he saw an elderly man wildly kicking the tyre of his car. Obviously there was something wrong with the car. Jimmy immediately went up to lend him a hand. When Jimmy finished working on the car, the old man asked him how much he should pay for the service. Jimmy said there was no need to pay him; he just helped someone in need, and he had to rush for an interview. Then the old man said，“Well, I could take you to the office for your interview. It's the least I could do. Please, I insist.” Jimmy agreed.
Upon arrival, Jimmy found a long line of applicants waiting to be interviewed. Jimmy still had some grease on him after the car repair, but he did not have much time to wash it off or have a change of shirt. One by one, the applicants left the interviewer's office with disappointed look on their faces. Finally his name was called. The interviewer was sitting on a large chair facing the office window. Rocking the chair back and forth, he asked, “Do you really need to be interviewed？” Jimmy's heart sank. “With the way I look now, how could I possibly pass this interview？” he thought to himself.
Then the interviewer turned the chair and to Jimmy's surprise, it was the old man he helped earlier in the morning. It turned out he was the General Manager of the company.
“Sorry I had to keep you waiting, but I was pretty sure I made the right decision to have you as part of our workforce before you even stepped into the office. I just know you'd be a trustworthy worker. Congratulations！” Jimmy sat down and they shared a cup of well－deserved coffee as he
landed himself a new job.
21．Why did Jimmy apply for a new job? A．He was out of work. B．He was bored with his job. C．He wanted a higher position. D．He hoped to find a better boss.
22．What did Jimmy see on the way to the interview? A．A friend's car had a flat tyre. B．A wild man was pushing a car. C．A terrible accident happened. D．An old man's car broke down.
23．Why did the old man offer Jimmy a ride? A．He was also to be interviewed. B．He needed a travelling companion. C．He always helped people in need. D．He was thankful to Jimmy.
24．How did Jimmy feel on hearing the interviewer's question? A．He was sorry for the other applicants. B．There was no hope for him to get the job. C．He regretted helping the old man. D．The interviewer was very rude.
25．What can we learn from Jimmy's experience?
A．Where there is a will, there's a way. B．A friend in need is a friend indeed. C．Good is rewarded with good. D．Two heads are better than one.
