Americans think that travel is good for you, 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. 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 theft friends ill time of danger. This helped them to 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 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 work 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 horse. That love can help them to a new life.
Not all the young people on Vision Quest will leave crime behind them. Three or four in ten will one day_____________. Bob Burton is right. Travel can be good for you. Even today. Americans still say, " Go west, young man."

The River Thames is London’s main waterway.It has shaped the capital’s landscape,history and geography. So one of the best ways of making sense of the city is to take a trip along the river. Much of the river bank can now be walked along,particularly the south bank.
The clock tower of the House of Parliament, Big Ben,has become one of the main symbols of London.It rises up nearly 100m to a golden point above the clock and a 13-ton bell.The sound of the bell,which you can hear at the beginning of many television and radio programmes,has become well-known throughout the nation.No visit to London is complete without a look at the Tower of London.It is in the eastern part of the city.After Big Ben,the Tower may be London’s most visited tourist spot.Sightseeing in London is great,but _____.So,the best way to start the day is to fill yourself up with an English breakfast.For starters,have an egg,bacon,sausages,tomatoes,mushrooms,black pudding and fried bread.Then finish off with toast and jam,and a large pot of tea.You can buy an English breakfast in nearly every hotel,and in many restaurants and cafés.

He wishes the holiday season would end already. His back aches, his red suit feels like a spacesuit, his cheeks have gone tight from smiling for 12 hours — and still the kids keep coming and coming, like ants at a picnic. As Christmas becomes more commercialized (商业化) across the U. S. and Canada, so must Santas. As the holiday begins earlier each year, so must its spokesmen .
The questions from children these days are harder than ever. Now, with thousands of children expecting a father or mother serving in Iraq or Afghanistan, the questions are as heart-breaking as they are unanswerable. For example, “Can you please bring Daddy home from the war in time for Christmas morning?”
Santas also have a pretty good chance of getting sued (指控). A professional Santa Claus in Canada told a story: A Santa had a girl on his knee, and he commented, “You have nice eyes and nice hair.” The girl later said it was sexual harassment (***扰). When a Santa feels anxious, he often shows it in the same ways ordinary people do: The Santas were always seen to hang around at the dinner table when the show ended. Many of them just sleep in bed for several days and don’t see other children again.
56.In the first paragraph, “spokesmen” refers to .
A.businessmen B.political leaders
C.organisers of the activities D.Santa Clauses
57.The passage implies that the job of Santa Claus is .
A.well-paid B.very hard C.worth doing D.dangerous
58.According to the third paragraph, Santas may sometimes be blamed for .
A.doing something against the law B.hanging around the dinner table
C.being lazy and sleeping in bed for days D.not playing their roles as expected
59.What would be the best title for the passage?
A.Christmas: Not a Good Festival for Santas
B.Is Santa Claus Really Alive?
C.A Christmas Story
D.What Does Santa Claus Do for Children?
