The boy went home and （47）Aabout it long and hard．Finally，after a week，he turned in the   （48）Bpaper，making no changes．
Monty then said，"I tell you this story because you are sitting in my farm．I（49）Dhave that school paper over fireplace．"He added，"The（50）Cpart of the story is that two summers ago the same schoolteacher（51）A30kids to camp out on my farm．When the teacher was（52）B，he said，‘Look Monty，I can tell you this now．When I was your teacher，I was something of a dream    （53）A．During those years I stole a lot of kids'dreams．（54）Dyou had enough courage not to   （55）Cyours．"

2．Last fall，before Thanksgiving，I was making my way in my car out of the shopping center parking lot．I was bored in the car．I （36）Aa woman heavily loaded with （37）Cand her two boys，one carrying a pumpkin and the other another bag．
They were headed，I （38）B，to the bus stop across the major road．（39）Ait was too far to walk with all those  （40）Dto any of the nearby bus stops，on a random impulse（冲动），I rolled down my window and asked if they were indeed headed to the  （41）B．"Yes，"the mother （42）D．I asked，"Would you like a  （43）C？"Oh，yes!"was their（44）C reaction．
I was also delighted，and，after driving out of the way of other （45）A，I stopped and the boys piled into the back seat．The mother started to push  （46）D beside them．I  （47）C her by saying，"Oh，you come on up here （48）B me．I'm not a taxi driver!"So off we went．

1．We all remember seeing hitchhikers，standing by the side of the road，thumb sticking out，waiting for a lift．But it is getting（50）C nowadays．What killed hitchhiking？（51）D is often mentioned as a reason．Movies about murderous hitchhikers and real-life crime have put many drivers off（52）B hitchhikers．That no single women picked me up on my journey to Manchester no doubt（53）C the safety fear：a large，strangely dressed man is seen as dangerous．
But the reason may be more（54）A：hitchhiking happens where people don't have cars and transport services are poor．Plenty of people still hitchhike in Poland and Romania．Perhaps the rising level of （55）B in the UK means the few people left hitchhiking are usually considered strange．Why can't they afford cars？
Three-quarters of the UK population have access to a car； many of the remainder will be quite old．The （56）A hitchhiking population is therefore small．Yet my trip proves it's still
（57）A to hitchhike．The people who picked me up were very interesting-lawyer，retired surgeon，tank commander，carpenter，man who live in an isolated farmhouse and a couple living up in the mountains．My（58）D is that only really interesting people are mad enough to pick up fat blokes （家伙） in red，spotted scarves．Most just wanted to do someone a good turn； a few said they were so surprised to see a hitchhiker that they couldn't help（59）B．
The（60）A of hitchhiking most likely lies with car-sharing organized over the Internet，via sites such as hitchhikers．org．But for now，you can still stick your thumb out （actually，I didn't do much of that，（61）C just to hold up my destination sign） and people-wonderful，caring，sharing，unafraid people-will stop．
In the UK，with its cheap coaches and reasonable rail service，I don't think I'll make a
（62）B of it．But having（63）A it so much，I'm ready now to do a big trip across Europe and beyond．In the 1970s a female friend of my wife's hitchhiked to India．How wonderful it would be to have another go，though Afghanistan might be a（n） （64）D．I wish I'd got that tank commander's mobile number．

19．People are always looking for lost cities and occasionally one is found：Borobudur in Indonesia，for example．But perhaps some of the places people look for never existed-or did they？Here are just a few famous mythical（传说中的）cities．
El Dorado．
El Dorado is a story that began in 1537，when Spanish explorers found the Muisca people in the mountains of what is now Colombia．They heard the story of a man who covered himself with gold and dived into a lake．Then people began to talk of El Dorado-‘the golden man'Soon people started to think of El Dorado as a place，too一 a city of gold and amazing riches．Nowadays，the name'El Dorado'is still used to mean‘a place where you can get rich quickly．'
Atlantis
There was once an island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean．It was the mythical island of Atlantis．The people of the island were very rich，thanks to the natural resources（资源）on their island．For hundreds of years，they lived simple lives．But slowly they began to change．They started to want power．So the gods decided to destroy Atlantis．Suddenly，the island and its people were swallowed（淹没）by the sea and were never seen again．
Shambhala
In Tibetan Buddhist tradition，Shambhala is a mystical （神秘的）country that is hidden somewhere behind the Himalayas．Shambhala is a word from an old language that means‘place of peace'or‘place of happiness'．It is said that there is no war in Shambhala，and in the future，when the world is full of war，a huge army will come out of Shambhala，destroy the world's bad rulers，and start a new Golden Age．Some people say this will happen in 2424．
