"You bet. Gotta gas up," Mark said.
We had only gone a few feet past them when one of them hollered (叫喊)."Hey, take my truck." Then he pointed to the vehicle at the curb and tossed us the keys. The man didn't even know our names.
We did borrow the truck. We got our gas, returned the vehicle and talked a few minutes with the owner. His name was Bill Parsley, and he was the sort of friendly, open man who would tell a couple of strangers to take his truck.
Take my truck. It became like a mantra (祷文)to us. It represented the world as it should be.
This past February, as Mark and his son were driving near their home in St. Louis, they came upon a van barely moving. The problem was an exhaust system dragging on the ground. Sparks were flying.
A young woman was at the wheel, and she had a baby in a car seat. Mark stopped and offered to follow her to a gas station to make sure she got there safely. Then he drove her to a nearby mall, where he picked up her waiting husband and son, and returned them all to the gas station. Bad news awaited them: the mechanic couldn't get the van fixed until morning.
The husband thanked Mark and said he'd call a taxi. My friend lives near the gas station. "Take my car," he said, handing over the keys. The man was taken aback. "Do you even know my name?" he asked.
"Actually, I don't," said Mark. "Just bring the car back tomorrow."
After a few protestations, the family climbed into the car and drove away. Less than an hour later the grateful man, followed by his wife in the family's other car, returned Mark's vehicle.
As Mark watched the couple drive off, he felt good. He turned to his wife, Carol and said, "We just paid Bill Parsley back."

听力原文:W: It's almost vacation time. Have you found a summer job yet?
M: I suppose I can work at the boy's camp where I worked last summer. But camp jobs don't pay much.
W: I think I can get a job at the Edgewater Hotel. A friend of mine was a waiter there last summer. The pay wasn't good, but he got lots of tips.
M: My sister worked there last summer, making beds and cleaning bathrooms. She didn't like it, but she earned quite a lot of money.
W: A friend of my sister's did that one summer.
M: What I want is a job outside. After sitting in college classes all winter, I'd like a job in the open air.
W: The high school kids earn a lot of money every summer cutting grass. My brother is only fourteen, but he gets five dollars every time he cuts somebody's grass, and it only takes him an hour. He just rides around on the machine that he bought, and the machine does all the work.
M: That's pretty good. I used to cut grass when I was in high school. But now I thought I might work for a road-building company, or something like that.
W: It would be a good experience. You could earn a lot, too.
