Every country has its heroes. They may be soldiers, sports people, doctors or film stars. We admire them for their courage, their strength, or their devotion to duty .Their examples inspire us to live better and to work harder.

Terry Fox was a young student who loved life. He was a sports fan. When he was just 18 years old, a terrible event happened: his right leg had to be cut off because of cancer. Such an experience would have destroyed a weaker person—but Terry Fox was a fighter. He refused to give up. Instead, while he was recovering from the operation, an idea slowly formed in his mind. He decided he would run across Canada, in order to raise money for cancer research.

Slowly and carefully, he began to train. Every step was extremely painful, but he insisted on increasing the distance covered day by day. Sixteen months later, in the spring of 1980, he was ready for the long journey across Canada—his Marathon of Hope. His every step was extremely painful ,but he insisted on increasing the distance covered day by day. It was a time of inspiration and heart-breaking emotion. Through television, every home saw his particular way of running, a kind of half-hop and half-run. Thousands of people lined the route to encourage him and to wish him well. They also gave him money to fight cancer. Then, on Sep. 1st, 1980, after 143 days and more than 5,000 kilometers completed, everything came to an end. Terry had to stop. He lived on for another nine months and died on June 18 th, 1981. He was almost 23.

Americans think that travel is good for you. Some even think it can help to solve one of the coun??try ’ s worst problems ~: crime (犯罪).

Crime worries a lot of people. Every year, the number of crimes is up and up. And many criminals (罪犯)are young. They often come from sad homes, with only one parent or no parents at all.

There are many young criminals in prison,but prison doesn ’ t change them. Six or seven in ten 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 difficult life on the road. They learned to be strong and brave, and to help their friends to be strong and brave, and to help their friends in time of danger. This helped them grow into men. So Bob Burton started “Vision Quest. “ He takes young criminals on a long ,long journey with horses and wagons (马车), 3,000 miles through seven states. They are on the road for more than a year.

The young people in 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 love their horses. That love can help them to live a new life.

Not all the young people on Vision Quest will leave crime behind them. Three or four in ten will one day be in prison again. Bob Burton is right. Travel can be good for you. Even today, Americans still say, “ Go west, young men. ”

In the last paragraph “leave crime behind them" means    .

A. no longer do a crime B. leave people who do a crime

C. don't do all the crimes       D. leave criminals behind

Why is Bob Burton right?

A .Because he can help to solve crime.

B .Because three or four is better than six or seven.

C .Because the young criminals have a hard life on the road.

D .Because he can stop crime in the country.

Form the passage we may infer that   .

A .getting up before the sun rises can help out of crime

B .we can hardly find a person who has no love for anybody or anything

C .travelling can help all criminals out of prison

D .young people can do anything freely

     On “ Vision Quest"   .

A. young people have bad problems

B .young people grow tall very fast

C .young people often help their friends in time of danger

D .all of the above

Americans still say, "Go west, young men. ”because .

A .if they go west they can have a travel

B .in the west there is a prison

C .there they have to live a hard life to grow into men

D .prison doesn't change them
